Phlox of Various Types 
*PhIox amoena. Bright pink flowers in 
dense heads. 4 to 6 inches. April and 
May. 
Phlox Decussata 
Phlox are very showy and extremely use¬ 
ful hardy plants. They deserve a prominent 
position in every garden, since they thrive 
in most soils. A rich loam is most desir¬ 
able. The flower-bed should be deeply 
spaded and manured previous to planting. 
By growing a complete collection of Phlox 
— do not plant less than 5 of each variety, 
otherwise the effective coloring of mass¬ 
planting will be lost—a continuity of bloom 
can be had from early June until late fall.

red eye. Well shaped flower heads com¬ 
posed of large florets. Good strong stem

ers. Very brilliant. Looks well planted

until October with large heads of white 
flowers with faint pink shading in center. 
It is the best early White Phlox known.
