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 
Brees on. Their large heads of bloom are excellent for cutting 
as well. 
The immense size and perfect form of the new varieties will 
be a revelation to those who know only the old-fashioned 
kinds. We offer the good old and outstanding new varieties, all 
of which have been tried and tested for desirability and true- 
ness 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 anywhere; 
however, they are gross feeders and if given rich soil and plenty 
of moisture, best results can be obtained. To grow Phlox really 
well, the soil should be well 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 flow- 
ers. 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, letting hose run slowly on the ground. This 
method of watering prevents mildew. 
Unless otherwise noted, all plants on this page are 35c. 
each; $1.00 per 3 of one variety; $3.50 per doz. of one 
variety. (Six or more plants of one variety at dozen rate.)
