PHLOX 
T HIS late summer and fall-blooming perennial is indispensable for mass 
effects of brilliant color in the garden. No other perennial extends its 
bloom over a longer period, especially if the old flowers are clipped off so 
that the plants will continue blooming. Certain varieties can be combined very 
effectively, and attractive combinations of Phlox with other perennials can be 
arranged as suggested in the descriptions below. Care should be taken that Phlox 
is not allowed to form seed, as the self-sown seedlings often come up in the center 
of the clumps, eventually choking out the original plants, and the seedlings are 
often of poor color. 
All varieties not priced differently are 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $16 per 100. 
Varieties priced at 30 cts. each are $2.50 for 10; at 35 cts. each are $3.00 
for 10; at 40 cts. each are $3.50 for 10; at 50 cts. each are $4 for 10.
