PHLOX DRUMMONDll. Nat. Ord., Polemoniacece. 
This magnificent class of hardy annuals is unrivalled for richness and brilliancy of 
colors, great profusion and long continuance of bloom. They are unsurpassed for bedding- 
purposes, and produce a splendid effect either in beds by themselves, of separate or mixed 
colors, or in masses among other varieties of plants. They blossom all through the summer 
and autumn, in a great variety of delicate and rich colors, from pure white to the deepest 
scarlet and purple. The seeds may bo started in a hot-bed or cold frame, or sown later in 
the open ground; they transplant without difficulty; set tin* plants about a foot apart. 
The most beautiful effect is produced by planting each color in separate beds or groups.
