'HE great range of brilliant colors and the profusion with which 
/the immense heads of flowers are produced on strong, slen¬ 
der stems, make the Phlox one of the most desirable of hardy 
perenials. Phloxes are unsurpassed for mass planting where brilliant 
color effects are desired; they are equally desirable for planting 
among shrubbery or in the flower border, in sun or partial shade. 
They are perfectly hardy and will grow and flower with almost 
any kind of treatment, but one will be amply repaid if a deep, rich, 
sandy loam is provided and the plants kept well watered in dry sea¬ 
sons. Plant in the spring or any time in the fall until the ground 
freezes. Set the plants from 12 to 18 inches apart.
