PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
This is one of the most brilliant and most satisfactory of all annuals, thriving in full sun and blooming 
through summer to frost. If sown in the open ground in May you will have a riot of color in July. 
Avoid overwatering, as this increases the plant height, especially if the plants stand too close together,

This strain resembles the Half-Dwarf strain in large size of blooms, but the plants grow only 6 inches high and 
are much better for dwarf beds of color. 
POPPY 
These are greatly admired for their grace, delicacy and brilliant colors. Sow the seed outdoors 
in the fall or at intervals in April and May, to provide a succession of flowers. Thin the plants to 
stand about 1 foot apart. Poppies dislike transplanting, and prefer a sandy loam.

PORTULACA 
Moss Rose. Sun Plant. This, unrivalled for brilliancy, forms a dense, thick carpet 6 inches high.

or early June after hot-weather sets in, and thin out to 6 inches apart. Effective for rock-gardens. 
Large-flowering Double, Mixed. Pkt. 20c; j;0z. 60c; MY4oz. $1.80 
This is a great specialty with us for its high percentage of double flowers. The lowest we have ever 
found, by actual count, is 85% double. The flowers are very full-petalled, of large size, and produced 
in great numbers above the attractive, deep green, dwarf foliage. The mixture includes many colors.

Very tall, stately plants, 12 to 14 feet high, with enormous lIobed leaves varying from light green to purplish red. 
SALVIA 
Sage. With the early-flowering varieties you can have vivid beds from July to frost. For well-grown 
spring bedding plants start the seed in February or March, giving bottom heat to help germination, 
and water sparingly. The seed, particularly of earlier varieties, can be sown outdoors in May. The 
dwarf ones make nice pot-plants for spring if started indoors in January.

right up until frost. The plants are taller, reaching 3 feet when well grown. This is a specially selected strain.
