Greenings PHLOX—One of the Most 
Lasting Perennials 
Perennial species of Phlox are among the best and 
most popular of garden plants. Species and varieties 
are well adapted for bedding purposes and for the rear 
of mixed border plantings. Phlox are easily cultivated, 
the tall growing varieties succeeding best in rather 
heavy soils and good beds. The secret of the success 
with Phlox is giving the plants plenty of water especially 
before and during the blossoming period, the plants are 
thus kept green and the flowers large and bright. The 
blossoming season is prolonged from July until Fall. 
Phlox is a heavy feeder and needs rich soil to do its 
best. It may be planted in the Spring or Fall. Plants 
grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet and is one of the best 
perennials for cut flowers. Plant is improved and the 
season prolonged by cutting the blossoms as they open. 
While there are many new introductions of Phlox 
each year, we have chosen for our customers a list of 
varieties of outstanding merit.
