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 arrange¬ 
ments in bowls. Seeds may also be sown in the hotbed in March and 
thus flowers can be had in June.
