America’s Most 
Popular Perennial 
Phlox are the most effective 
and useful garden plants 
during late July, August, 
and September. They de¬ 
serve 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,. In water¬ 
ing, keep in mind that the 
foliage should be dry before 
night so as to help prevent 
mildew. 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 noe and extreme 
care is, used in making our color descriptions accurate.
