LARGE-FLOWERING PETUNIAS 
Single Fringed Petunias 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
Large-Flowering Varieties 
For a color effect in the garden there is nothing quite so brilliant 
and quite so lasting as these desirable hardy annuals. Plants grow 
about 1 foot high, produce their slender flower-stems in numbers on a 
single plant, each being crowned with an umbel composed of ten to 
twenty large, perfumed blooms, which resemble in appearance a hardy 
Phlox. They succeed best in a sunny open situation, and seeds, sown out¬ 
doors in May, will be a solid sheet of color in July and remain so until frost. They 
may be cut and lend themselves with much grace in arrangements in bowls. Seeds 
may also be sown in the hotbed in March and thus flowers can be had in June.
