AFRICA. Brilliant carmine-red with deep blood-red eye. The large nicely 
formed florets are gathered into a large shapely truss of intense rich¬ 
ness. 
BEACON. A bright cherry-red with strong tall stems. A very distinct 
and pleasing color. 
B. COMTE. One of the richest of all the dark colored Phlox. A rich 
satiny deep red-purple. 
BETTY LOU. Bright orange-scarlet with claret center; medium height, 
with many lateral branches, affording a long season of bloom. 
BRIDESMAID. A medium tall very strong growing Phlox producing 
great nicely shaped panicles. A good white with a large well defined 
rose-crimson eye. 
CAROLINE VANDENBERG. Lavender bloom; the nearest to a blue of 
all Phlox. Large individual flowers. Splendid variety. 
CHAMPS ELYSEE. A very pleasing deep velvety purple, so deep as to 
have a blue effect. 
COMUS. A splendid blooming Phlox of medium height that is literally 
covered all summer with bloom. A deep bright uniform rose. 
COQUELICOT. One of the brightest of all Phlox. An intensely bright, 
almost scarlet, red. Medium height. 
COUNT ZEPPELIN. A tall, nicely formed plant. Large white with a 
vermilion-red eye. A very neat clean-looking variety. Very different 
from Bridesmaid in appearance. 
DR. CHARLES MAYO. Another Phlox somewhat after, the type of 
Bridesmaid and Count Zeppelin and yet entirely distinct. A very 
strong grower. 
ENCHANTRESS. A bright salmon-pink with darker eye. Resembles 
Elizabeth Campbell very much in color, but is a much stronger plant. 
FEUERBRAND. A splendid red Phlox. Good plant and a very profuse 
bloomer. Very bright dark red-crimson. One of the most brilliant of 
all reds. 
No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range is so 
large, the colors so bright, and the period of blooming so long that everv 
garden should contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment con¬ 
tinuous bloom may be expected until frost comes. 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers should not be allowed 
to go to seed. Cut the first flower spikes when they are in full bloom and 
use for home decoration. Or, if left longer on the plant, they should be 
cut as soon as the blooms fade. In this way a second setting of bloom 
will come on and thus the season will be prolonged. 
This plant likes a well-enriched soil and a sunny well-drained location. 
Fall planting can be made from the first of September until the ground 
freezes. Phlox can also be planted in the spring. 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the surface and use plenty of 
water when planting if the ground is at all dry. If the soil is dry as 
wnter approaches, stir the ground well about the plants and cover with 
a good mulch.
