PHLOX DRUMMONDI. 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, and is known 

 as "Texan Pride." It occupies a first place as a gar- 

 den annual, 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.
