Hardy Perennial Phlox 
Among hardy herbaceous plants, none are more showy or more easily grown than the Phlox. They are very 
desirable planted in groups. Individual clumps throughout perennial beds make a very satisfactory display, 
while mass plantings of one color make the most effective showing. 
They produce magnificent trusses of flowers, commencing to blossom in July, and lasting for weeks, making 
them always favorites of the garden. Their flowers have a very agreeable odor, and are produced in abundance. 
The plants are perfectly hardy and will grow year after year with but little care. I recommend frequent culti¬ 
vation, however, as they quickly respond to it, producing much large trusses, and larger and more beautiful individ¬ 
ual flowers. Simply keep the ground clear of weeds and well hoed. They will grow and do well in any soil; but 
prefer a good rich well drained loam. They may be planted in the Fall during August, September and October; 
and in the Spring during April, May and until the plants are too far advanced in June. In planting be sure that 
the crown of the root, that is, the part where the new shoots start, is two inches below the surface of the ground.
