PHLOX 
Phlox are generally conceded to be among the 
“Best Ten Perennials,” and there is no ques¬ 
tion about their being one of the very best 
Summer blooming perennials. Phlox cultural 
requirements are few but vitally essential for 
good results, and good Phlox results will lift any 
garden out of the general Summer bleakness 
too often noticed. 
♦Columbia (U. S. Plant Patent No. 118). After 
growing this variety, you will agree with 
every person that has seen it, that it is the 
greatest Phlox ever introduced. Its strength 
and vigor is something rarely seen in plants. 
A well grown, two-year-old plant will produce 
from 6 to 15 flower spikes. The foliage is rich 
dark green, leaves covering the stems down 
to the ground. Mildew is unknown to this 
variety. The flower stalks are about 2J^ ft. 
high, stiff and erect. The flowers when cut, 
last over a week in water. Mrs. Francis King, 
America’s great garden authority, writes of 
this Phlox as follows: "Columbia, the new 
cameo pink Phlox which has just risen on 
the garden horizon is of most exquisite 
beauty. A soft pink recalling that of Eliza¬ 
beth Campbell but lighter, more delicate, 
and with an eye of light blue which has a 
charming effect upon the general color of the 
flower, this Phlox grows to 2 or 2 ft., very 
bushy, and, a fact most marvelous, it has no 
enemies. Red spider does not visit it, mildew 
does not cover it, it is entirely pest-free 
and flourishes after the coldest Winter and 
in the hottest, driest Summer. Altogether, 
an amazingly good addition to the list of 
plants which give color and richness to the 
Midsummer border.”

ROCK GARDENS ARE IMMENSELY 
POPULAR—AND EASY TO BUILD 
It is indeed amazing to see how rapidly this 
intense interest in rock gardens has spread from 
coast to coast ! Yet it is not strange when we 
stop to think how ideal they are for either large 
or small plots. A delightful rock garden can 
often be built in a spot inconvenient for mowing 
lawn, or where ordinary garden arrangement 
is awkward or impracticable. Even narrow 
spaces next to driveways or walks can be made 
mighty attractive. 
How interesting it is, first to collect the rocks 
and arrange them simply in a realistic, natural 
appearance, then to watch the development of 
the many rare and charming little plants that 
nestle in the crevices and alcoves, spreading 
out to cover the ground, creeping here and 
there, others climbing up over to partly hide 
the rocks. Then the dainty, delightfully unique 
and sweetly fragrant little blooms. There 
are so many plants with blooming periods 
at various seasons from early Spring to latest 
Fall, that your rock garden may be always 
in bloom. Every rock garden is individual, 
different, reflecting the floral instincts and 
tastes of the garden lover who created it.
