Moonlight Dream

No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range 
is so Jarge, the colors so bright, and the period of blooming so long 
that every garden should contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment, 
continuous bloom may be expected until frost comes. 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers should not be 
allowed to go to seed. Cut the first flower spikes when they are 
in full bloom and use for home decoration. Or, if left longer on 
the plant, they should be cut as soon as the blooms fade. In this 
way a second setting of bloom will come on and thus the season 
will be prolonged. This plant likes a well enriched soil and a 
sunny, well drained location. 
HOW TO PLANT ; 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the surface and use 
plenty of water when planting if the ground is at all dry. If the 
soil is dry as winter approaches, stir the ground well about the 
plants and cover with a good coarse mulch, but do not use 
leaves as they often smother the plants. 

AFRICA. Brilliant carmine-red with deep blood-red eye. The large, 
nicely formed florets are gathered into a large shapely truss of 
intense richness. Almost a black-red. 
APOLLO. A tall, sturdy growing Phlox in a soft shade of rich red, 
covered with a bright scarlet sheen. 
BETTY LOU. Bright orange-scarlet with claret center; medium 
height, with many lateral branches affording a long season of 
bloom. A beautiful soft pink with very large beautifully formed 
florets. 
CAROLINE VANDENBURG. This Phlox and Ethel Pritchard look 
very much alike in the field as they are both of an attractive 
shade of lavender. The individual florets are unusually large. 
CHIEFTAIN. The color is deep red without violet or purple shad- 
ings and holds its color under adverse weather conditions. A 
strong grower of medium height. A Phlox that everybody likes. 
The color is very intense and still very pleasing. 
COMUS. Clear pink, overlaid bright orange-scarlet; florets large; 
medium height, the plant being well branched from the ground. 
This new variety is similar in habit to Jules Sandeau, blooming 
somewhat later in season and more attractive in color.
