Perennials give a feeling of permanence to any planting. 
They live on for a number of years, growing more showy with 
the passing of time. Most of them are hardy and demand a 
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 weeks,

HARDY PHLOX 
The word phlox means flame in Greek and the name is justified

garden soil—almost any kind. A place in the sun suits it best, 
and through the hottest weather it can be relied on for a steady 
succession of bloom.
