HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
- 1 HIS is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties 
now offered makes it especially desirable. These noble flowers are not only beautiful as indi¬ 
viduals, but the cheerful appearance of our gardens during the summer and autumn months is 
much indebted to them. They succeed in any position or soil, and can be used to advantage 
either as single specimens in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. To pro- 
- duce the best results, however, they should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let each 
clump have a space of from two to three feet in which to develop. They will continue to thrive for several 
years with little attention, as is attested by the fine clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which 
they are cultivated, their entire hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined, with the varied 
and beautiful coloring, make them especially valuable for garden planting. The Perennial Phlox usually 
commence to bloom in early summer, and are brilliant with color until after several frosts have come. 
They are admirably adapted for cemetery planting, also for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and 
unsightly objects. Do not fail to plant Phlox in the fall, any time from September until the ground is 
frozen. We grow each year upwards of five hundred thousand Phlox. Price, 10 cents each, three for 25 
cents, seven for 50 cents, fifteen for $1.00. We can supply Phlox in either the spring or fall time.
