NOS. 326-330 S. MAIN ST., LOS ANGELES 11 SILVER-LEAVED STAR PHLOX. (Phlox Drummondi Cuspidata fol. albo-marginatis) There appeared in the extensive beds of Phlox, of one of the most noted German seed growers, a plan': among the cuspidata varieties with leaves all edged with white. These developments are often cause by an unhealthy state of the plant, but in this case the seedlings, grown from the seed saved, grew with more than ordinary strength, and the pleasing variegation of the foliage was reproduced in nearly every plant. The plants grow about 1 ft. high and branch freely; the flowers, mostly toothed (cuspidata) but a few fringed (nmbriata), are of rose and carmine shades and form a fine contrast with the beautifully variegated foliage. This new variety will be found very effective for bedding with other varieties or fc planting in masses alone. Per pkt. 25c. NEW POPPY Miss Sherwood This extremely handsome Single Paeony-flowered Poppy, is one of the finest annua4 poppies in culti- vation, and will undoubtedly be- come very popular. The plants are of sturdy growth, about 212 ft. high, and flower in great profu- sion. The flowers are from 1 to 5 inches across, pure satiny white with the upper half of the petals a beautiful chamois rose, an exquisite combination of color. Per pkt. 10c.
