PORTULACA 
PHLOX Drummondi (Annual) 
14,000 S. For ease of culture, brilliant, positive colors and strains 
that come true, annual Phlox Drummondi can’t be beaten. We 
regularly sow our 
Phlox trials here at 
West Chicago right 
out in the field about 
tbe end of May, a];id 
they are a riot of 
color in early August. 
Certainly this can be 
said of few outdoor 
bedding plants that 
stand our hot mid¬ 
summer conditions! 
The Grandifloras have 
some value for cut¬ 
ting too. Phlox don’t 
stand transplanting 
well when their roots 
have to be disturbed 
which means sowing 
in April in pots or our Phlox should be sown direct in our 
new plant bands latitude for best results outdoors. 
for earlier outdoor 
flowering.
