DREER’S SELECT LARGE-FLOWERING PHLOX DRUMMONDI. 
‘ Shown i colors on the plate opposile, 
The annual Phlox is a native of Texas and is sometimes called “ 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 will grow and thrive in any kind of soil if given a sumny position, but préfers 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 asa 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. There are a number of types, the one here offered being the 
finest, having the largest heads of bloom as well as the largest individual flowers. They grow about 15 inches high, forming 
bushy plants, and produce splendid flowers in almost every conceivable color, The seven colors shown on the plate opposite were 
selected out of 50 sorts as being the brightest and most distinct.

DREER’S 
GIANT SNAPDRAGONS. 
(Antirrhinum majus grandiflorum.) 
Whether to be grown for cutting or for show in the 
garden, the Snapdragons are one of the most valuable flow- 
ers, which can readily be grown from seed. They may be 
sown indoors or in a frame in early spring and transferred 
to their flowering quarters in May, or they may be sown 
right out of doors from the middle of April till the middle 
of June. In either case they quickly come into flower, and 
remain in constant bloom until long after the first frost. 
Vhey are also grown quite extensively for winter and spring 
flowering indoors.
