Hardy Perennial Phlox 



This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, 

 and the large number of beautiful varieties now offered 

 make it especially desirable. These noble flowers are not 

 only beautiful as individuals, but the cheerful appearance 

 of our gardens during the summer and autumn months 

 is much indebted to them. They succeed in any position 

 or soil, and can be used to advantage either as single 

 specimens in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds 

 on the lawn. To produce the best results, however, they 

 should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let 

 each clump have a space of from two to three feet in 

 which to develop. They will continue to thrive for sev- 

 eral years with little attention, as is attested by the fine 

 clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which they 

 are cultivated, their entire hardiness and the extended 

 time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful 

 coloring, make them especially valuable for garden plant- 

 ing. The Perennial Phlox usually commence to bloom in 

 early summer, and are brilliant with color until after 

 several frosts have come. They are admirably adapted 

 for cemetery planting, also for a low hedge or screen to 

 hide old fences and unsightly objects. Do not fail to 

 plant Phlox in the fall, any time from September until 

 the ground is frozen. 



Price. 12c each; five for 50c. The entire set of Thirty Dis- 

 tinct Standard Varieties of Hardy Phlox for $2.60.
