PERENNIAL PHLOX 



A yard or garden, large or small, in which 

 many Phloxes are grown is always a place gay 

 with flowers from mid-June to the autumn days 

 of frost. Like the peony, the Phlox is easily 

 grown, rewarding the gardener with a wealth 

 of bloom altogether out of proportion to the 

 few demands it makes upon his time and labor.
