HENRY A. DREER, 
Annual P hlox @ 
The annual Phlox is a native of Texas and is known as ‘‘Texan 
Pride.” 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. Grows and thrives 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. 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, that they show 
to best advantage.
