PHLOX DRUMMONDI 



The annual Plilox is a native of Texas, and is linown as 

 "Texan Pride." It occupies a first place as a garden an- 

 nual, being one of the most brilliant and at the same time 

 one of the easiest and most satisfactory plants which can 

 readily 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, in beds or borders, that they show 

 to best advantage.
