then be bloom from July to November. When planted 

 in mixed borders the Phloxes should go at the middle or 

 back if the soil is rich, as most of them will grow three 

 to four feet high ; and they should be planted four feet 

 apart, as they will spread considerably. If old stools are 

 not divided some of the shoots may be thinned out in 

 spring, as better flowers will result from the fewer 

 number. Phloxes will thrive in suburban gardens if 

 the soil is friable and abundance of moisture is given in 

 summer, but most of them are hardly suitable for small 

 town gardens, as they take up more room than can be 

 spared.
