no Growing Flowers 



Phloxes are useful as window garden plants and as 

 undergrowth for tall bare-stemmed plants. They 

 should be sown out of doors as soon as danger of 

 frost is over. They require very little attention. 



The phlox transplants readily and if planted too 

 thickly will suffer from mildew. Sulphur dusted 

 over the plants will usually rid them of mildew. 



To remove the seedpod and dead flowers of 

 phlox will insure their blooming throughout the 

 season. 



When phloxes are used as cut flowers they should 

 be put into a vase or jardiniere large enough to 

 support them. The flowers are heavy and are 

 not attractive when crowded. They will last for 

 days if the water is changed. 



Pomegranate 



The pomegranate not only bears beautiful scarlet 

 flowers but also an edible fruit. It is a very hardy 

 plant and requires little care. A loamy soil is best 

 for it, though it will grow in the sandy soil of the 

 far South and do well. It requires plenty of sun- 

 light and a well-protected location.
