PHLOX DRUMMONDI
The annual Phlox is unsurpassed as a bedding plant,
being one of the most brilliant and at the same time the
easiest and most satisfactory plant for the garden. It
grows and thrives in almost any soil if given a sunny
position, but in a light, rich loam it is at its best. Seed
may be so"svn in the open ground soon after danger of frost
Is past in spring, and in a few weeks the plants are cov-
ered with a mass of bloom continuing to bear freely until
cut down by frost in fall. For massing in beds or borders
few plants are as showy, and they are equally serviceable
planted in vases and window boxes. The Phlox is a native
of Texas, and is commonly kno'tvn as "Texan Pride."
