PHLOX DRUMMONDII 



Flame Flower 



A very beautiful and useful class of half-hardy annuals. They are 

 so many-hued, brilliant, varied and lasting, that few rivals are to be 

 found for effectiveness from July to fall. To secure good results, 

 they should be sown or planted 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. 

 Seed may be sown outdoors in April and May, or earlier indoors and 

 transplanted. All faded trusses of flowers should be removed ere 

 they go to seed.
