which during the months of April and 
May is hidden under the masses of bloom. 
Fine plant for the rockery, border, and 
invaluable for covering graves or where

Hardy Named Phlox 
Perennial Phlox succeeds in almost any 
soil, but of course extra care in preparing 
and enriching the soil and watering 
plants in dry weather will result in better 
plants and flowers. If the first spikes of 
bloom, which usually appear in July and 
August, are removed as soon as over, the 
plants will produce a second supply of 
flowers, continuing the display until late 
in the autumn. Perfectly hardy. 
We offer only hardy field grown plants 
that will give satisfaction wherever 
planted. 
Price—Named Phlox, all varieties, 25c 
each; three for 70c; dozen, $2.50. Either
