FLOWER SEEDS <* 



Phlox 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 g-arden. 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 cov- 

 ered 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 commonly known as "Texan Pride."
