Phiox Drummondi 
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.
