minimum of care, which is an advantage for weekend 
gardeners. 
It's easy to find a place for perennials, wherever you live. 
Be careful to locate each plant in the spot that will suit it best, 
and make combinations of kinds and colors that will look 
well together. It is quite possible to have handsome color for

The word phlox means flame in Greek and the name is jus-

on for a steady succession of bloom.
