TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR THE HOME 
Garden Phlox 
Wherever there is a vacant spot that needs a plant, 
put in Phlox. It is a tidy, compact plant and the blossoms 
are conspicuous in all colors. It will grow anywhere in 
almost any soil and in all parts of our country. The secret 
of success with Phlox is giving it plenty of water, espe- 
cially before and during the blooming period, keeping 
the plant green and the flower large and bright. This 
prolongs the blossoming season from July till fall. Phlox 
is a heavy feeder and needs rich soil to do its best. They 
may be planted spring or fall. Plants grow to a height 
of 2 to 3 feet. Phlox is one of the best flowers for cut- 
ting and the plant is improved and the season prolonged 
by cutting the blossom stems as they open.
