Phlox decussata 
Phlox are very showy and extremely useful hardy 
plants. They deserve a prominent position in every 
garden, since they thrive in most soils. A rich loam 
is most desirable. The flower-bed should be deeply 
spaded and manured previous to planting. By 
growing a complete collection of Phlox—do not 
plant less than 5 of each variety, otherwise the 
effective coloring of mass-planting will be lost—a 
continuity of bloom can be had from early June 
until late fall. 2 to 3 ft.

grower. Tall.
