Phlox Drummondi 
For a color effect in the garden there is nothing quite so 
brilliant and quite so lasting. The plants produce their slender 
flower-stems in numbers on a single plant, each being crowned 
with an umbel of large, perfumed blooms. They succeed best 
in a sunny open situation, and seeds sown outdoors in May 
will produce a solid sheet of color from July until frost. 
Large-flowering Half-Dwarf Culture 2 
This is the finest type, having the largest heads of bloom; of 
strong, sturdy growth, attaining a height of 12 inches. Daz¬ 
zling when borders are sown with contrasting colors. Rich 
Purple, Bright Scarlet, Brilliant Rose, Pure White, Chamois- 
Rose, Buff-Yellow, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 10 cts.; 34°z- 50 cts. 
Large-flowering Very Dwarf Culture 2 
Plants of this charming section grow 6 inches high and pro¬ 
duce dense masses of bloom all summer. Excellent for beds. 
Mixed. Pkt. 15 cts.; psoz. 50 cts. 
Poppy • Papaver 
Few flowers have the same grace of stem, airiness of poise, 
and delicacy of tissue as the Poppy. For beds and borders, 
with a background of green, there is nothing finer. A sandy 
loam suits Poppies best, and as their strong taproots are 
difficult to transplant, the seed should be sown where the 
plants are to bloom. Sow the seed thinly outdoors in Sep¬ 
tember or March, cover lightly, and thin to a foot apart. 
Single Varieties Culture 1 
For flaming brilliancy. Poppies have no rivals among the 
annual flowers. Some varieties are suitable for cutting; the 
Shirleys, in particular, if picked early in the morning with the 
buds just showing color, last well in water. 
Annual Oriental. These huge red Poppies, like the perennial 
Oriental Poppies, are of great substance, but remain in 
bloom two weeks longer. Pkt. 10 cts.; x /i oz. 25 cts. 
Shirley Improved, Mixed. A great favorite, coming in many 
beautiful shades—rose, salmon, apricot, pink, crimson, red

scarlet Gesneriana tulip. Ht. 2 ft. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz - 25 cts.

Double Varieties Culture 1 
Whereas the single Poppies are fragile, the double sorts are 
firm-petaled and last well on the plants and after cutting. 
Carnation-flowered, Mixed. These large, ball-shaped, double 
flowers have beautifully fringed petals and come in a variety 
of shades, many striped. Pkt. 10 cts.; J^oz. 25 cts.

until hot weather, and should be sown in April. Ht. 6 in.
