MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 
PHLOX DRUMMORNDI 
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 window 
boxes. The Phlox is a native of Texas, and is com- 
monly known as “Texan Pride.” Height, 1 foot.
