Phlox 
Two outstanding new varieties of annual Phlox have been re- 
cently developed by treating the best regular varieties (diploids) 
with colchicine, thereby doubling the number of chromosomes in 
the cells. These resulting tetraploids are taller growing, stiffer 
stemmed, and larger flowered than the regular varieties of annual 
Phlox, which have always been favorites because of their many 
flowers produced over such a long growing season, 
Tetra Red—Pilants grow to height of about 20 inches, individual flowers get to be 1% 
inches across. Color is deep red with tiny white eye. 
Tetra Salmon—Individual flowers are even larger than those of Tetra Red. Color is 
clear light salmon-pink with a soft creamy white eye. Plants are more dwarf, 
10 to 12 inches tall.

Daisies 
Daisies comprise a large group of plants, so familiar to everyone that the term 
“Daisy-like flowers” is commonly used to describe a type. Nearly all are quite easy to 
grow under ordinary conditions. Listed below are the two most called for annual 
aisies. 
Dahlberg Daisy—An unusually attractive, compact edging plant with airy lace-like 
leaves. Produces a profusion of small yellow flowers continuously from late spring 
until frost. Forms a very even row, 6 to 8 inches high and 12 to 14 inches across. 
Also good for boxes and windows. Withstands hot weather. 
Tahoka Daisy—Flowers are about 2 inches in diameter—a single row of narrow, pointed, 
lilac-blue petals surrounding a deep yellow, disk-like center. An early bloomer, 
the flowers are abundantly produced all summer and fall. Bushy compact plants 
with lacy fern-like foliage. Grows to a height of about 20 inches.
