Hardy Phlox 
Without the Hardy Phlox our perennial 
gardens would certainly be barren of 
bloom during July, August, and Sep- 
tember. During their long season of 
bloom they over-shadow all other per- 
ennials with their bright and brilliant 
colors. A well maintained garden of 
the new varieties of Phlox is a picture 
not soon forgotten.
