PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
This is one of the most brilliant and most satisfactory of all annuals, thriving in full sun and blooming 
through summer to frost. If sown in the open ground in May you will have a riot of color in July. 
Avoid overwatering, as this increases the plant height, especially if the plants stand too close together,

are much better for dwarf beds of color.

in the fall or at intervals in April and May, to provide a succession of flowers. Thin the plants to 
stand about 1 foot apart. Poppies dislike transplanting, and prefer a sandy loam.

spring bedding plants start the seed in February or March, giving bottom heat to help germination, 
and water sparingly. The seed, particularly of earlier varieties, can be sown outdoors in May. The 
dwarf ones make nice pot-plants for spring if started mdoors in January.
