PHLOX DRUMMONDS! □ 
Culture 1 or 4. Normal germination, 8-10 days. 
Phlox is the showiest and most easily grow r n of all 
annuals. All our seed is specially grown for us, and 
we have one of the most compbte lists of colors in 
America. 
Phlox grows well in any soil, requiring only plenty 
of sun, out is at its best in a rather light, sandy loam. 
It may be planted either in clumps or in rows, but 
shows its brilliancy to best advantage when grown in 
masses. Its season is very long, being from early 
Juiy until killed by frost. 
Phloxes resemble zinnias in that they thrive with 
little or no care, and will stand all sorts of abuse 
For best results, do not allow plants to stand closer 
to each other than 4 inches. Cultivation should be 
very shallow, as the roots are near the surface. 
Phlox is indigenous to many parts of the U. S. but 
particularly so to Texas. 
(Perennial Phlox does not come “true” from seed, 
hence we do not list it. Better buy plants from your 
neighborhood florist.)
