Phlox 



Phlox decussata; syn. paniculata. During the dry, hot Summer weather, when vegetation generally 

 looks at its worst, these plants can be depended upon to brighten the garden with their brilliant 

 blooms. Possibly there is no other class of perennials that is more popular or which plays a more 

 important part in garden making. Although of easy culture these plants will give best results when 

 grown in fertile soil. The flowers range in color from white to the more brilliant hues of pink and 

 scarlet. Like nearly all perennials their beaut>- is best displayed when planted in colonies. Some 

 gardeners even prefer an all-Phlox border, but the beauty of these popular plants is equally well dis- 

 played in a mixed planting. Ever\- garden, large or small, has a space which can accommodate these 

 familiar old favorites.
