RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS/4 



PHLOX DRUMMONDI 



The annual Phlox is a native of Texas, and is known as 

 "Texan Pride." 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. Grows and thrives 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. 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, that they show to best advantage.
