poppy no „ 
Culture 1 for Annuals. Culture 3 for Perennials 
Normal germination, 6-15 days 
Every garden should have a supply of Poppies. They rt in 
almost anywhere and the perennial varieties remain for years. 
Sow seed in open ground in Spring or Fall, or may be sown on 
top of the snow, and thawing will take them down into the 
earth in Nature’s own way. Poppies may be usea as cut-flowers, 
if cut just before the bud opens, which will open in water.. 
Poppies in their various forms are found all over the world, 
but in Europe and the Orient more than anywhere else.

PHLOX DRUMMONDII □ 
Culture 1 or 4. Normal germination, 8-10 days 
Phlox is the showiest and roost easily grown of all annuals. 
All our seed is specially grown for us, and we have one of the 
most complete lists of colors in America. 
Phlox grows well in any soil, requiring only plenty of sun, 
but 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 July until killed by frost. 
Phloxes resemble zinnias in that they thrive with little or no 
care, and wall stand all sorts of abuse. For best results, do not 
allow plants to stand closer to each other than 4 inches. Cul¬ 
tivation 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.)
