HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
One of the most valuable of flowers for summer bloom, 
giving unsurpassed mass effects in fine colors. 
Give a well prepared and enriched soil and plenty of water 
and where there is much summer heat, a mulch of manure or 
peat moss is invaluable to protect their sensitive surface 
roots, Plant 16 inches apart. 
There are fine old varieties which are still among the best 
and late years have brought unusually fine new ones. This is 
a fine selection of both old and new.
