EARLY BLOOMING PHLOX. 
Phlox Suffruticosa. 
Instead of the heavy, broad heads of bloom produced 
by the varieties of P. decussata, these have long, graceful 
spikes of flowers. Although the range of color is limited 
and in some varieties not very bright and clear, yet these 
early Phloxes are of great value by reason of coming into 
flower some weeks in advance of the other varieties, and 
continuing in bloom the entire season, until late autumn.

mine rays at center.
