PHLOX (Flame Flower) 



Phlox Drummomlii 



A very beautiful and useful family. The annual sorts make brilliant beds 

 while the perennials are great favorites for the border. To secure the best 

 results, they should be sown in well-drained soil and thinned out at an 

 early stage to secure sturdy plants. Full sun exposure suits them best, as 

 in wet or shady situations they are subject to mildew. All faded trusses of 

 flowers should be removed before they go to seed. 



PHLOX DRUMMONDII GRANDIFLORA 1 1 It V 



Improved, large-flowering, tall varieties, producing their showy trusses 

 of big, round florets from early July until fall. The seed should be sown 

 outdoors in April or May, although it may be started earlier indoors if 

 extra-early bloom is desired. Thin the plants to stand at least 10 inches 

 apart. Pine bedders and useful for cutting. 1 foot tall.
