Hart & Vicki ANNUAL PHLOX 
This is one of the most brilliant and at the same time one of the easiest and most satisfactory 
: It will grow and thrive in any kind of soil if given a sunny 
location, but prefers a light, rich loam. Seed may be sown in the open ground any time after 
danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks they are a sheet of bloom, remaining so, if faded 
plants readily grown from seed. 
flowers are removed, until frost.

unrivaled for brilliancy. Nothing is 
prettier for beds, edging, and rockwork,
