PHLOX 
Phlox are generally conceded to be among 
the ‘‘Best Ten Perennials,’ and there is no 
question about their being one of the very 
best Summer-blooming perennials. Phlox cul- 
ture requirements are few, but vitally essential 
for good results—and good Phlox results will 
lift any garden out of the general Summer 
bleakness too often noticed.

growing plant 2% ft. high when fully grown. 
Has rich bronzy green foliage and stems.

more intense and sparkling. Unlike most 
Phlox of this color, it does not discolor or 
bleach in the sun. The Augusta is a beauti- 
ful, vivid-colored variety of exceptional 
erowth and qualities. It 1s one of the few 
Phlox to be honored with a United States 
Plant Patent.

growing this variety, you will agree with 
every person that has seen it, that it is the 
greatest Phlox ever introduced. Its strength 
and vigor is something rarely seen in plants.

duce from 6 to 15 flower spikes. The foliage 
is rich dark green, leaves covering the stems 
down to the ground. Mildew is unknown to 
this variety. The flower stalks are about 
21% ft. high, stiff and erect. The flowers 
when cut last over a week in water. A soft 
pink with an eye of light blue. Blooms all 
Summer. See page 36.

Miss Lingard but a taller grower and much 
later. Pure white. Strong grower, free of
