PHLOX 

 PERENNIAL 



The varieties of the Per- 

 ennial Phlox are among 

 the choicest of our flowers 

 for bedding and border 

 plants. They are hardy 

 and need no protection; 

 will flourish in any soil, 

 succeeding better, how- 

 ever, in deep, rich, rather 

 moist ground. Two to 

 three feet high. We gen- 

 erally receive our new 

 crop seed in December or 

 January and it should be 

 ordered and planted as 

 soon thereafter as possi- 

 ble as the very best seed 

 loses vitality rapidly.
