LONGISTYLUM—Graceful, soft, greenish-white feathery heads Pkt. 10c RUPPELIANUM—Long, purplish, feathery plumes Pkt. 10c PERILLA This ornamental plant makes a fine contrast with any of the light or silver-leaved plants used for lawn groups or ribbon borders. H. H. A. LACINIATUS—Cut-leaved variety Pkt. 10c NANKINENSIS—1 feet Pkt. 10c PHORMIUM (Tenax Variegatus) NEW ZEALAND FLAX—Pretty, grass-like varie- foliage; used for vases, etc Pkt. 10c Phlox Driimmondi The annual Phlox is unsurpassed as a bedding plant, being one of the most brilliant and at the same time the easiest and most satisfactory plant for the garden. It grows and thrives in almost any soil if given a sunny position, but in a light, rich loam it is at its best. Seed may be sown in the open ground soon after danger of frost is past in spring, and in a few weeks the plants are covered with a mass of bloom, continuing to bear freely until cut down by frost in fall. For massing in beds or borders few plants are as showy, and they are equally serviceable planted in vases and win- dow boxes. The Phlox is a native of Texas, and is commonly known as 'Texan Pride.' Height, 1 foot. SELECT LARGE-FLOWERING VARIETIES (Phlox Driimmondi Grandiflora) This is the finest type, having the largest heads of blooms, as well as the largest individual flowers; of strong, sturdy growth, attaining a height of about 12 inches. Atropurpurea (Warrior)—Dark purple. Alba—Pure white. Brilliant—Rose, with dark eye. Carmine
