HARDY PERENNIALS 
PHLOX 
Following the Irises and Peonies in time of 
bloom, but in no way behind them in popu¬ 
larity, are the Hardy Perennial Phloxes. We 
have weeded out all the magentas and pur¬ 
ples, and believe that our list is as select as 
that offered by any firm. 
Phloxes are shallow-rooted plants and 
should, therefore, be planted a little deeper 
than most plants and kept well tilled to con¬ 
serve the moisture as they cannot stand dry, 
packed s fil like Peonies and Irises. No fer¬ 
tilizer should be near the roots. A little bone- 
meal sprinkled on the surface of the ground 
before hoeing gives good results.
