Rat'd)? V (Paniculata Rybrtds.) 
Phloxes in good generous masses can be effectively 
placed in the foreground of shrub plantings as well as in 
the flower garden border. 
E have in this useful pl ant 
one that is p erfec% 
hardy, of the easiest 
culture and will thrive i n an 
garden soil and at the same time 
produce in greatest profusion 
quantities of showy, hydrangea¬ 
like plumes on upright stems 
with a great range of colors 
from the purest white through 
pinks to the deepest fiery crim¬ 
son. For producing brilliant 
color effects during July, Aug¬ 
ust and September nothing is 
more useful. Those who are fa¬ 
miliar only with the magenta 
.variety of the old gardens will 
hardly recognize the splendid 
colors now offered, in many in¬ 
stances with florets larger than 
a silver dollar, and panicles of 
blooms like great clusters of 
hydrangeas.

submitted without taking advantage of back-ground groups of trees and

best advantage.
