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 garden. It 

 g-ro"ws and thrives in almost any soil if g-iven 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." 

 Height, IVs feet.
