Annual 



Phlox ® 



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.
