Hardy Plants 
Phlox 
No flower has been more wonderfully improved of late years than 
the Hardy Phlox. The large size and perfect form of the new varieties 
will be a revelation to those who know only the old-fashioned kinds 
with their dull colors and small flowers. Our list includes the newest 
and finest productions of Europe and America. We have discarded 
the tall varieties and undesirable colors, and have retained nothing 
but the very best. 
Culture .—Phlox may be planted in the spring or fall, but the best 
time lor planting is during the month of October. The ground should 
be well dug to a depth of about 2 feet. Rich soil and plenty of moisture 
in dry seasons are necessary if the best results are desired. Plant at 
least a foot apart. Mulch with well-rotted manure for the winter. 
Divide and transplant every third year. In warm, moist summers, 
Phlox is occasionally attacked by mildew. If the leaves are sprinkled 
with water and afterward dusted with sulphur, the disease will be 
arrested.
