MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



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 several years with little 

 attention, as is attested by the fine clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which they are cultivated, then- 

 entire hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful coloring, make them 

 especially valuable for garden planting. 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, 10 cents each; three -for 25 cents; seven for 50 cents; fifteen for 

 $1.00, The entire set of thirty-one distinct standard varieties of Hardy Phlox for Sri. 00.
