Magmlicent HardyPhlox 
At Last Lapark Is Ready To Supply Perennial Phlox Li Quantity 
After Pfeonies and Iria the most gorgeous and indispensable Hardy blooming plant is Phlox. and without its bold 
brilliant effects in masses our gardens would be quite empty during July and August, the long gup between the Spring 
and Fall bloomers. During late years the improvement in Phlox has been very important,the colors are more varied and 
the trusses markedly larger in size. 
WIIEUF, rn IM.ANT T. —Hardy 
Phlox may be planted In large masses 
of one solid color and the effect is 
nothing short of miraculous in land¬ 
scape work. Or small groups can be 
set out here and there in the hardy 
border, especially among Pieonies, 
Poppies, etc., because the Phlox will 
stand the early crowding of such plants 
and later shoot up their tall stalks of 
blaom. Single specimens are splen¬ 
did in certain spots in every well- 
planned garded. Indeed, those of us 
who have grown and know the valuq'of 
Perennial Phlox would find it very dif¬ 
ficult to get along without it. 
cri/ruRE.— phlox will 
grow and bloom practically 
anywhere, but they are gross 
feeders and-the most satisfy¬ 
ing and perfect results can he 
had only by making the soil in 
which they are planted very 
rich and keeping it thoroughly 
moist in dry seasons. They 
thrive in partial shade and 
the colors will be brighter and 
the bloom will last longer. The 
regular flowering season is 
July and August, but by pinch¬ 
ing out tops of part of the 
plants before the buds have 
formed, they will bloom much 
later, forming many more 
branches. This process may 
be repeated several times, if 
desired, and it will throw the 
season of bloom well over into 
the late Fall. 
Phlox should be divided and 
re set about every third year, 
as it will become too crowded, 
with a tendency towards infe¬ 
rior trusses of bloom. Set the 
Phlox we offer 18 inches apart 
for immediate effect. In rich, 
highly cultivated soil where 
they are to remain to form 
large clumps, give them 2 to 
2ii feet of space. 
In wet seasons sometimes 
Die foliage is attacked by mil¬ 
dew, which can be checked by 
prompt and thorough dusting 
with powdered sulphur. For 
red spider, which sometimes 
appears in dry seasons, and Is detected by the 
lower leaves becoming rusty brown color, 
apply full force of garden hose, or hand 
pump, to the under part of the leaves,or dust 
the ground under the plants, during full sun¬ 
shine, with powdered sulphur. If attack it very severe cut the plants down within a few inches of the ground and let 
them grow up again. Phlox can be set out any time during the Fail, or Irom end ot March to Decoration Day.
