PHLOX DRUMMONDI 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, and is known as "Texan 

 Pride." It occupies a first place as a garden 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 wiU 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.
