ANNUAL PHLOX 
FOR COLOR AND 
CUTTING 
One of the easiest of 
annuals to grow, the an- 
nual phlox of modern 
strains cannot be sur- 
passed in their clear, 
vivid coloring and vari- 
ety of tones. Seed may 
be sown in the open as 
soon as frost danger has 
. passed, and flowers will 
appear in a few weeks. 
If faded flowers are re- 
moved they bloom until 
late frost.

1376—PERENNIAL 
PHLOX 
In the past this beautiful per- 
ennial has been difficult to 
grow from seed, and the plants 
were usually too expensive to 
permit everyone to have as 
many as every garden de- 
serves. Now by freezing the 
seeds in the ice trays of a re- 
frigerator for three days and 
letting them thaw out gradual- 
ly, they will germinate in about 
five days and are as easy to 
start as sweet peas. Our seed 
is saved from selected plant 
varieties, giving you the best in 
colors and in large type flow- 
| ers. Pkt, 15¢; I oz., 75c.
