HARDY PHLOX 
The hardy perennial Phlox deserves 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 
other family is capable of producing such fine displays of dazzling 
color at a time when there is little else to depend on. Their large 
heads of biccm are excellent for cutting, as well. 
The immense size and perfect form of the 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 of 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 blocm 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 w'ell, 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 to 15 inches apart. Lift 
and divide every three or four y'ears or they w'ill become crowded, 
which results in poor, small flowers. Be sure to REMOVE all flower- 
heads before they go to seed. Phlox rccjuire 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 pota.ssium, 
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, using a 
duster to insure a coating BENEATH as well as above the foliage. 
Repeat every two weeks if needed.
