PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
It will grow and thrive in any kind of soil if given 
a sunny position, but prefers a light, rich loam. Seed 
may be sown in the open ground any time after danger 
from frost is past, and in a few weeks they are a sheet 
of bloom, remaining so until frost. They may be used 
in a variety of ways, such as a carpet to beds of Roses, 
in boxes, vases, etc.; but it is when grown in masses, 
in beds or barders, that they show to best advantage.

to a tiny antirrhinum blossom. The buds and flowers

PINKS OR DIANTHUS 
DIANTHUS 
Sweet Wivelsfield—This is an outstanding 
novelty of easy culture. It is the result of a 
cross of the Dianthus Allwoodi on the Dianthus 
Barbatus. The growth is not unlike the Sweet 
William but the flowers are larger and it has a 
much wider range of color. Besides retaining 
the brilliant coloring of the Heddewigi strain, 
which was one of its ancestors, it has many of 
the dainty markings of the same. Some of the 
flowers have a honey perfume. One of the most 
important features is, it may be treated as an 
annual or biennial as it blooms the first year 
from seed. Secured a Reward of Merit at 
Wisley. Pkt. 15c 
PINKS OR DIANTHUS 
A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most 
popular flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety 
of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties 
classed as annuals are really biennials, but are treated 
as annuals and may be sown out of doors when the 
danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks’ time they 
are a mass of bloom, continuing so until after hard 
frost. As a rule, they survive the winter if given slight 
protection, flowering abundantly the following season. 
They grow about a foot high, and can be used in beds 
or borders of solid or mixed colors. The double flowering 
sorts are almost as fine as carnations for cutting. They 
are not particular as to soil, but should have a sunny 
location.
