Condon’s Beautiful 
Annual 
Phlox * ( ‘ Drummond!’ * 
Phlox is one of the easiest grown and 
most satisfactory of all summer-flowering 
annuals. Whether sown en masse or as a 
single border, the brilliant colors found 
among Phlox always make a good impres¬ 
sion. One of the most valuable characteristics of this 
annual is its free blooming habit. 
Usually the seed is sown outdoors when the maples 
are coming into leaf. Sow thinly and cover with a 
quarter inch of fine soil. When the young plants are 
about an inch or two tall, they should be carefully thinned to 
allow 4 to 6 inches of space between the plants so that they 
can develop freely. The plants grow 15 inches tall. 
2420 Grandiflora Choice White 
Thia is perhaps the largest flower of all the annual Phlox. The heads are made up of 
large individual blooms and form a massive cover of pure white over the rich green foliage. 
It is a strong grower and sturdy bloomer. Because of its free-blooming habit it makes a 
very fine display if planted in a double row, as a border to larger beds. Pkt. (600 Seed), | O cts.; 
Va oz., 30 cts.; Va oz., 45 cts.; Vz oz., 70 cts. 
2421 Grandiflora Choice Lilac 
This is an entirely new shade among the annual Phlox. The color is a soft bright lilac, 
accentuated by a white eye in the center. Lilac is a very free and continuous bloomer, with 
large flowers borne in handsome clusters. The plants are of stocky growth and flower most 
profusely all during late spring and summer, and way into the fall if they are given plenty 
of space to develop. Pkt. (600 Seed), 10 cts.; Va oz., 30 cts.; 'A oz., 45 cts.; '/ 2 oz., 70 cts.
