BETTER PLANTS FOR BETTER GARDENS 
Phlox— 
America’s 
Most 
Popular 
Perennial 
Come to see our young Phlox plants which are in bloom from 
now until frost. Our collection is the finest obtainable. Phlox 
are the most effective and useful garden plants during late 
July, August, and September. They deserve a prominent place 
in every hardy flower garden as they give more display and 
satisfaction than any other flower. They prefer a soil that 
has been deeply enriched and should have plenty of water 
during the summer months. Plant about a foot apart, and 
they will look so much better if you will plant 3 or more 
plants of a kind in a group. Our collection is a choice one 
and extreme care is used in making our color descriptions 
accurate. 
PHLOX PRICES: Unless otherwise stated, plants are 25c 
each; 3 of a kind for 60c, or $2.00 per dozen of a kind; 35c 
plants are 3 for $1.00, or $3.00 per dozen.
