PERENNIALS 



Phlox 



Phlox decussata; syii. 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 peren- 

 nials their beauty 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 displayed in a mixed planting. Every garden, 

 large or small, has a space which can accommodate these familiar old favorites. 



A formal garden in which our Phlox have been extensively used. Their continuous display from July until 

 September is unexcelled by any other perennial. — Olmsted Bros., Landscape Architects
