PHLOX DRUMMONDI. 
All the varieties of this beautiful class of annuals are worthy of extensive cultivation, especially those of the grandiflora 
class, which produce such a profusion and diversity of their large beautifully formed and brilliantly coloured flowers. Those of 
the compacta section growing only about four to six inches in height are also highly desirable for massing or beds, or for edgings, 
producing an effect that can probably be obtained by no other plant. 
Cultivation.— Sow tho seeds in February, March, or early in April, in pans or boxes of light rich soil; sow thinly, press down firmly, cover 
lightly, water, and place in a gentle heat. The young plants will be up in a few days, and soon as they can bo fairly handled they should be 
pricked out about two inches apart in pans or boxes to strengthen, or potted singly into small pots: keep close for a few days, and when they 
are established give abundance of air, placing close to tho glass to induce a sturdy growth. May is soon enough for planting out, and a rather 
dry and sunny position is to bo preferred. The dwarf kinds should be planted about eight inches apart; the others, which grow from nine inches 
(o' one foot in height, with a spreading habit, may be planted one foot or more apart. Towards the end of April and during May, the seeds 
may be sown whero intended to bloom in the open ground, and in an ordinary season a fine display may bo had quite into the Autumn.

PHLOX DRUMMONDI GRANDIFLORA. 
OW The grandiflora varieties form a magnificent class ; 
the plants are robust in habit, and the flowers, which are of various 
rich and beautiful colours, have in many of the varieties large, 
conspicuous white eyes ; the individual blooms are of fine sub- 
stance and scarcely inferior in size to the perennial sorts. A 
decided improvement on the old varieties of P. Drummondi.
