BANKER’S SUPERB HARDY PHLOX 
M PROBABLY the most satisfactory of all perennials, and 
worthy of a good space in the garden. 
Select the early and late varieties, cut olf the heads of blooms 
as soon as they have faded, and have blossoms from middle of 
June until cut down by frost. 
The ground where phlox is to be planted should be trenched 
fully 2 feet in depth, and may be planted in the Autumn, from 
the 1st to the 15th of October, so that it may become well rooted 
before Winter; otherwise it should be set out as soon as the frost 
leaves the ground in the Spring, as growth begins very early. 
Mulch the roots with old manure. Set out 18 inches apart, and 
keep well watered. 
In October, after three seasons of flowering, the Phlox should 
be lifted, the ground again trenched and enriched, the plants 
separated into bunches of three or four stalks each, and then reset. 
The best effects are produced by planting masses of each color, 
not less than six plants of one color together. A border of phlox 
may begin with palest pink shading up to dark cherry, then pure 
white and white with a red eye, and more white, then quantity 
of red and again white at the end. In another border the 
shades of purple can be planted with occasional bunches of 
white. The phlox will be the pride of the garden.
