PHLOX DRUMMONDI 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, and is known 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 Ijloom, 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 ad- 

 vantage. PER pKT.
