early. ,

Hardy Phlox 
Given good soil and divided every two or 
three years, these splendid Hardy Phlox will 
not deteriorate. Their gorgeous colors are 
invaluable to the garden from midsummer 
until late in the season. During dry periods 
water should be applied copiously. If mildew 
appears, indicated by a white powdery sub¬ 
stance on the leaves, during changeable 
weather, spray with liver of sulphur (sulphide 
of potassium), 1 ounce to 3 gallons of water to 
which a little soap should be added, or apply 
a good brand of fine dusting sulphur in early 
June, us ng a duster to insure a coating 
beneath as well as above the foliage. Repeat 
every two weeks if needed. Plant 1J£ to 2 
feet apart. 
Important. Water should be applied freely 
just before flowering if soil is dry; also 
throughout the summer. To be effective the 
moisture must penetrate to a depth of 9 to 12 
inches.
