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, their 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; six for 50 cents. The entire set of thirty-one distinct standard varieties of Hardy Phlox for $2.25.
