Pinks (P) 
(DIANTHUS) 
Double. Selection of the best double Pinks in culti¬ 
vation. Flowers ranging in color through all the 
brightest and most brilliant shades. 34 oz., 25c; 
pkt., 10c. 
Phlox (A) 
The annual Phloxes are dazzling in effect, particu¬ 
larly so when sown in masses or ribbon beds of con¬ 
trasting colors. Few flowers are so easy to grow 
from seed, so pretty and compact in habit, so quick 
to bloom, or give such a brilliant display of color 
for so little cost or care. For pot culture and as an 
undergrowth for tall, bare-stemmed plants, they are 
also invaluable. The first sowing should be made as 
soon as the frost is out of the ground in Spring, 
later ones in May, either where the plants are to 
bloom, or in a seed-bed, as the Phlox transplant 
readily. In transplanting, set the taller kinds about 
a foot apart. Cutting away the old flowers makes 
the plants more bushy and compact, and lengthens 
their blooming time. 
Phlox Drummondi. Unsurpassed for variety of colors. 
Flowers are smaller than those of the large flower¬ 
ing varieties. Mixed. 34 oz-, 30c; pkt., 10c. 
Phlox (P) 
Decussata. Hardy herbaceous perennial and quite 
distinct from the Phlox Drummondi offered above, 
which is an annual. For best results seed should 
be sown in the Au¬ 
tumn. Finest Mixed. 
34 oz., 75c; pkt., 10c. 
Poppies (A) 
Should be sown as 
early in the Spring as 
possible, where they are 
to remain, as they will 
not stand transplanting. 
Sow very thinly, as they 
must not stand nearer 
than 5 or 6 inches apart 
if you wish best results. 
Ryburgh Hybrid. The 
flowers are double and 
resemble a giant carnation, with flat petals over¬ 
lapping like a double begonia. The colors em¬ 
brace all shades of pink, salmon, orange, etc.; 
all self colors. Mixed 34 oz., 40c; pkt., 10c. 
Double Poppies. Special mixture as to variety as well 
as colors. Oz., 25c; pkt., 10c. 
Shirley. These have beautiful satiny flowers of vari¬ 
ous colors, all with white centers, which makes the 
plants very attractive. Foliage is hairy and finely 
cut. Beautiful shades in delicate tints of rose, 
apricot, salmon-pink and blush to glowing crimson 
with a sprinkling of blues. Oz., 50c; pkt., 10c. 
Single Poppy. Special mixture. Varied assortment 
and colors. Oz., 25c; pkt., 10c. 
Oriental Poppies (P) 
These should be sown in early Spring in the open 
ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants dis¬ 
appear during July and August appearing again as 
soon as the weather gets cool. It is well to mark the 
place with a stick so the roots will not be disturbed 
during the resting period. When the Fall growth 
starts they should be transplanted to their permanent 
flowering quarters. For permanent beds they are 
unequalled. Flowers of immense size, 6 inches and 
over, of many novel colors. 
Hybrids, Choice Mixed. *4 oz., 40c; pkt., 10c. 
Pansies (B) 
They like a cool, moist soil and protection from 
the wind as well as the noon-day sun. Seed should 
be sown in the house and transplanted when danger 
of frost is over. For large flowers, early in the 
Spring, the seed should be sown in August or Sep¬ 
tember and the plants protected with a cold frame 
during the Winter. Seed may also be sown out-of- 
doors in the Spring for late Summer and Fall flow¬ 
ers. 
Improved Swiss Giants. The flowers are of gigantic 
size, perfectly round, fine substance of flower and 
good form of plant. They bloom early in the spring, 
continuing in flower all summer until late in the 
fall. Pkt., 25c.

versity of colors. This mixture contains all the 
good ones. Oz., $5.00; pkt., 10c.
