PHI.OX DRUMMONDI. 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, 

 where it is called "Texan Pride." It oc- 

 cupies a first place as a garden annual, being; 

 one of the most brilliant and at the same 

 time one of the easiest and most satisfac- 

 tory plants which can readiJy be grown from 

 seed. It will 'grow and thrive in any kind 

 of soil if given a sunny position, but prefers- 

 a light, rich loam. Seed may be sown in 

 the open ground any time after danger from 

 frost is past, and in a few weeks they are a 

 sheet of bloom, remaining so until frost. 

 They may be used in a variety of ways, 

 such as a carpet to beds of Roses, in boxes, 

 vases, etc., but it is when grown in masses,. 

 Is oi hoi del s, that they show to best advantage.
