Phlox. 
Hardy Perennial Phlox 
Phlox is one of the most easily grown hardy 
perennials, and the large number of beautiful va¬ 
rieties 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. 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 bril¬ 
liant with color until after several frosts have come.
