(Phlox 
These beautiful hardy border plants are the most effective and useful 
plants in the garden during the late summer and early fall. Their bri I - 
lianl colors are loved by all. The great many varieties now offered are 
quite likely to be confusing; we have, therefore, discontinued growing 
any but the better and newest varieties noted for their clear colors, 
freedom of bloom, and strong habit. 
Culture. To grow Phlox really well the soil should be well drained, deeply

spaded, and enriched with rotted manure or bone meal. Planting may 
be done in fall or spring in a sunny border. Set the plants 10 inches 
apart. Lift and divide every three or four years or they will become 
crowded, which results in poor, small flowers. Never let the plants go 
to seed, never water overhead, always keep blooms and foliage dry, 
lefting hose run slowly on the ground, this method of watering prevents 
mildew.

spider. 
Leo Schlageter Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00
