PHLOX MIMMONDI. 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, 

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

 cupies a first place as a garden annual, be- 

 ing one of the most brillian: and at the 

 same time one of the easiest and most sat- 

 isfactory 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.
