PHLOX DECUSSATA (Perennial Phlox): 
These beautiful, hardy perennials are one 
of the most brilliant of summer flowers. 
To grow phlox really well, have the soil 
well drained, deeply spaded, and enriched 
with well-rotted manure or bone meal. 
Set the plants 1 foot apart. Lift and div- 
ide every 3 or 4 years. Never water 
overhead. Keep the foliage and bloom 
dry, always letting the water run slowly 
from the hose to soak in the ground. Do 
not cultivate or disturb the surface soil 
as the roots are near the top. Mulch the 
plants with one inch of well-rotted cow 
manure in January, and again with one 
inch of leaf-mold in June. Keep seed 
pods removed to prolong blooming season.
