Phlox 
Showy, and indispensable for brightening the garden just af¬ 
ter the spring flowers are gone and before summer flowers ar¬ 
rive in abundance. Use Miss Lingard for early, and other va¬ 
rieties will give Phlox through June. Cut the flowers as they 
fade and they give a second, sometimes a third crop. Masses, 
say a half dozen or dozen, of each color produce imposing ef¬ 
fects. Or a border may begin with white and gradually work 
up to red. Plant 12-15 in. apart, 8-12 in, if in a single row, 
in rich, rather moist soil, deeply prepared. Do not allow seed¬ 
lings to crowd out the original plants. 
Field grown plants to bloom the first summer, 20c each, 
3 for 55c, $2.00 per doz., except as noted. If by parcel post 
add 10c per doz.
