Majestic 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 va- 
rieties will be a revelation to those who know only the 
old-fashioned kinds. We offer the good old and outstand- 
ign new varieties, all of which have been tried and test- 
ed for desirability 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 ob- 
tained, To grow Phlox really well, the soil should be well 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
Columbia. (Plant Patent No. 118.) Delicate 
cameo-pink with faint blue shading at center. 
As flower ages, the blooms retain their deli- 
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, let- 
ting 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 BENEATH as well as above 
the foliage. Repeat every 2 weeks if needed.
