Phlox, Drummondii 



The Popular Annual Bedding Phlox 



Grows rapidly, begins blooming early, and 



continues up to frost 



For beds and massing nothing ean surpass these beautiful annuals. Separate 

 colors, planted in separate beds, or the scarlet or pink surrounded by the 

 white, or planted in designs, will form a floral picture of incomparable 

 richness of coloring. They produce immense trusses of large brilliant 

 flowers throughout the summer; 1 l A feet high. Our large-flowenng 

 Phlox is an improved strain, extra large, perfectly round flowers, with 

 overlapping petals. They are of easy culture, succeeding in all sunny- 

 positions, beginning to bloom in early summer from spring-sown seed 

 and continuing until close of autumn. (See illustration.)
