Phlox decussata 
Phlox are very showy and extremely useful hardy plants. 
They deserve a prominent position in every garden, since they 
thrive in most soils. A rich loam is most desirable. The flower¬ 
bed should be deeply spaded and manured previous to planting. 
By growing a complete collection of Phlox—do not plant less 
than 5 of each variety, otherwise the effective coloring of mass¬ 
planting will be lost—a continuity of bloom can be had from early 
June until late fall. 2 to 3 ft. 3 pj jqq
