Garden Phlox 
Wherever there is a vacant spot that needs a plant, 
put in Phlox. It is a tidy, compact plant and the blossoms 
are conspicuous in all colors. It will grow anywhere in 
almost any soil and in all parts of our country. The secret 
of success with Phlox is giving it plenty of water, espe¬ 
cially before and during the blossoming period, keeping 
the plant green and the flower large and bright. This pro¬ 
longs the blossoming season from July till fall. Phlox is 
a heavy feeder and needs rich soil to do its best. They 
may be planted spring or fall. Plants grow to a height of 
2 to 3 feet. Phlox is one of the best flowers for cutting 
and the plant is improved and the season prolonged by 
cutting the blossom stems as they open.
