The hardy perennial Phlox deserve a prominent place in all hardy flower borders, or where breaks of 
brilliant colors are required during July, August, and September. For general border decoration, no 
ether family is capable of producing such gorgeous displays. They produce dazzling color at a time 
when there is little else to depend on. Their large heads of blooms are excellent as cut flowers and flo¬ 
ral decorations. 
The immense size and perfect form of new varieties will be a revelation to those who know only the 
old-fashioned kinds. We offer the good OLD and outstanding NEW varieties, all cf which have been 
tried and tested for desirability and trueness to name. Our collection is the result of careful selection over 
a period of many years and we confidently recommend it as consisting of the best available varieties. 
CULTURE: Phlox will grow and bloom almost anywhere; however, they are gross feeders and if given 
rich soil and plenty of moisture, best results can be obtained. To grow Phlox really well, the soil should 
be well drained, deeply spaded, enriched with rotted manure or bonemeal, and well cultivated. Planting 
may be done in fall or spring in a sunny border. Set the plants 12-15 inches apart. Lift and divide every 
three or four years or they will become crowded, which results in poor, small flowers. Be sure and 
REMOVE all flower heads before they go to seed. Phlox require considerable WATER during the 
blooming period. NEVER WATER OVERHEAD, always keep blooms and foliage dry, letting hose 
run slowly on the ground. This method of watering prevents mildew. 
If mildew appears, indicated by a white powdery substance on the leaves, during changeable weather, 
spray with sulphide of potassium, 1 oz. 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, using a duster to insure a coating BENEATH 
as well as above the foliage. Repeat every two weeks if needed.
