Majeiiic HARDY GARDEN PHLOX 
Blooms July, August, September. 
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 bloom 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-fash¬ 
ioned kinds. We offer the good old and outstanding new 
varieties, all of which have been tried and tested for de¬ 
sirability 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 bloom almost any¬ 
where ; however, they are gross feeders and if given rich 
soil and plenty of moisture, best results can be obtained. 
To grow Phlox really well, 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 years or they 
will become crowded, which results in poor, small flowers. 
Be sure to REMOVE all flower heads before they go to 
seed. Phlox require 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 sub¬ 
stance on the leaves during changeable weather, spray 
with sulphide of potassium 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 of BENEATH as well as above the 
foliage. Repeat every 2 weeks if needed.
