HARDY PHLOX 
The beauty and usefulness of these grand bor 
der plants give them a deservedly first plac* 
amongst hardy plants. They succeed in almost 
any soil enriched with manure, but are much 
benefited by a mulching of well rotted manur# 
in spring, and In hot weather an occasional soak¬ 
ing of water. If the first flower spikes are cut 
off as soon as over, and the plants are given a 
good soaking, a second crop of bloom extending 
until late in the fall may be expected. The best 
effects to be had with Phlox are produced by 
planting masses of each color.
