CnPYB I There is no Annual in cultivation that is more satisfactory, or gives a more constant display of beautiful flowers than the large-floM^er- ing Phlox Drummondii. They are very hardy and of the easiest cultivation. For some years we have devoted special attention to Phlox Drumjnondii Grandijiora, both in growing seed and in testing all known varieties. As the result of our experi- ments we have developed a strain of mixed large- flowering Phlox that is most re7narkable in variety and brilliancy of colors. So successful have we been in this work that our seed crops of several acres attracted the marked attention of all visitors to our Fordhook Farm during the past two seasons. Within a few feet, visitors frequently gathered bou- quets embracing as many as twenty-six distinct types and colors of Phlox, so uniformly were the remarkable diversity of colors distributed. Not only is our strain notable for variety and brilliancy of colors, but also for the perfection and size of the fiowers—many of the single flowers are so large they will very nearly cover a fifty-cent piece. We are sure that our customers, when they see the remarkable brilliancy and pleasing variety of colors produced from this seed, will thank us for recommending a liberal planting.
