PHLOX DRUMMONDII GRANDIFLORA. 
(Flammenblume.) 
The Phloxes are the showiest and most easily 
raised of all Annuals. We know of nothing 
which produces such a continuous supply of the 
most attractive flowers in a most wonderful range 
of colors. All the tints of the rainbow are rep¬ 
resented with all possible variations of stripes, 
veins and eyes of contrasting shades. Seed should 
be sown in the ground as soon as danger of frost 
is over and in a few weeks the beds are a blaze 
of glory. May be grown in beds or borders, boxes 
or vases and make splendid cutting material as 
the blooms last long in water. 1 ft.

PERENNIAL PHLOX. (P. Decussata.) 
Hardy herbaceous perennial and quite distinct 
from the varieties of Phlox Drummondi offered 
above, which are annuals. For best results sow 
as soon as frost is out of the ground in spring 
or as soon as gathered in the autumn. The seed 
we send out has been saved from a choice collec¬ 
tion and is supplied in mixture only.

PHYSALIS. (Chinese Lantern Plant.) 
A hardy perennial that has become very pop¬ 
ular for the orange colored seed capsules that 
dry and retain their bright color all through the 
winter. It is wise to set out the roots where they 
can be kept within bounds or they will take pos¬ 
session and become a nuisance. The “lanterns” 
will be increased in number and size if the plants 
are fed a little Nitrate of Potash two or three 
times the fore part of the summer. Watch out 
for potato bugs.

POPPY. (Papaver.) (Mohn.) 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the 
spring as possible where they are to remain, as 
they do not stand transplanting. Sow very 
thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or after a 
shower, barely cover the seed, press down firmly 
and they will come up in a few days. If they 
come up too thickly they must be thinned out to 
stand 3 or 4 in. or more apart if you wish best 
results. It is well to make several sowings at in¬ 
carnation Poppies 
tervals to keep up a succession of bloom. If 
picked just before expanding the flowers will 
last several days. It is also advisable to pick the 
old flowers as soon as fallen, which will lengthen 
the blooming season quite a while.

HARDY PERENNIAL POPPIES. 
Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring 
in the open ground as soon as it is fit to -work. 
The plants disappear during July or August, ap¬ 
pearing again as soon as the weather gets cool. 
It is well to mark the places they are planted 
with a stake to insure the roots against disturb¬ 
ance during their annual resting period.
