<Jlci/idLf, Qa/uSten Phlox, 
No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range is so large, 
the colors so bright, and the period of blooming so long that every garden should 
contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment continuous bloom 
may be expected until frost comes. 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers should not be allowed to go to 
seed. Cut the first flower spikes when they are in full bloom and use for home 
decoration. Or, if left longer on the plant, they should be cut as soon as the blooms 
fade. In this way a second setting of bloom will come on and thus the season will 
be prolonged. 
This plant likes a well-enriched soil and a sunny well-drained location. Fall 
planting can be made from the first of September until the ground freezes. Phlox 
can also be planted in the spring. 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the surface and use plenty of water if 
the ground is at all dry. If the soil is dry as winter approaches, stir the ground 
well about the plants and cover with a good mulch.
