Phlox Subulata 
(Creeping Phlox) 
The Creeping Phlox have a beauty all their 
own, and, for general usefulness, are not to be 
surpassed by any flower that grows. They 
will thrive in any situation, except a very 
shady one, and in any soil, no matter how 
poor, unless it is very wet. They are abso¬ 
lutely hardy without protection; hardy during 
the winter of 1933-34, which killed millions 
of plants and shrubs, and even trees. They 
have neat, evergreen foliage, and, when in 
bloom, which is during the month of May, 
their multitude of lovely pink, white or blue 
flowers cover everything beneath as complete¬ 
ly as a carpet covers a floor. They bloom 
again in September, but not as freely. For 
covering rocky hillsides, sandy slopes, bare 
ground too poor to grow anything else, or for 
edging borders of hardy plants or shrubs, 
they are unsurpassed. The Creeping Phlox 
can be planted advantageously in September 
and until the 15th of October.
