AUTUMN. 1924 • PLANT FRAGRANT HARDY PHLOX NOW 



Hardy Perennial Phlox 



FOR ENCHANTING FRAGRANCE AND BRIGHT LASTING COLOR IN YOUR HARDY BORDER 



Blooming, as they do, from late in July to October, 

 the hardy Phloxes bring a greater glory of color to 

 the flower-garden, for a longer period, than any 

 other species of flower with such varied and brilliant 

 colors. 



The new varieties of Phlox offered below are far 

 superior to the old-fashioned kinds, in size of flower 

 and truss and also in brilliancy. Phlox are just 

 what are needed for radiant, dazzling displays of 



A brilliant border of fragrant Hardy Phlox 



color in late summer and early fall, and they main- 

 tain a glorious show throughout July and August 

 at a time when few other flowers are at their best. 

 They are magnificent when used in masses of solid 

 color against evergreens or shrubs and when 

 scattered throughout the perennial border they are 

 very attractive. Use white varieties at intervals to 

 help show the other colors to better advantage. 



In addition to their other virtues, Phlox have an 

 appealing, delicate fragrance that is most noticeable 

 in the evening, when the dew is on the flowers, and 

 what is more enchanting and restful after a busy 

 day than a quiet stroll with a friend in the dusk 

 along fragrant garden paths? 



Summarized, Phlox give you a long season of 

 bloom, brilliant colors, and delightful fragrance. 

 They are easily grown, quite hardy, and when 

 planted in early fall and well established 

 before winter, they are ready to make strong 

 sturdy plants that will give quantities of 

 bloom the following summer. 



Culture. — Phlox will thrive in partial 

 shade but the colors are brighter when the 

 plants are grown in open sunlight. They 

 should have rich soil, and during dry seasons 

 see that they get plenty of moisture, for best 

 results. If you pinch the tops of the young 

 plants they will form more branches and 

 bloom longer.
