PHLOX DRUMMONDI 



The annual Phlox is unsurpassed as a bedding plant, be' 

 ing 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, anci 

 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 the^ 

 are equally serviceable planted in vases and window boxes. 

 The Phlox is a native of Texas, and is commonly known as 

 "Texan Pride." Height, V/2 feet.
