PLANTING 
Phlox- 
Summer’s 
Brightest 
Flower 
I’hlo>; arc tho most effective and useful garden plants dur¬ 
ing .July, .\ugust and September. No plants can equal their 
vivid display of color, q-heir panicles of crimson and 
scarlet, glistening i)ink and salmons, pure shining whites, 
and pnrple-blue create a garden of brilliance. We have dis¬ 
continued growing all poorer and antitiuated varieties and 
offer you only those varieties that have l)etter colors, more 
freedom of bloom, stronger habit, and greater freedom 
from disease. Plant 18 inches apart in soil that has been 
deeply enriched with rotted manure and they will look 
so much better if you will plant 3 or moi-e plants of a 
kind in a group. Come to see our young Phlox plants which 
are in bloom from now until frost. ^

each; 3 of one kind for 60c; or $2.00 per dozen of a
