Phlox and Lilacs were among the first choices of 
the Pilgrims to plant at the doorstep. About the 
only thing these giant florets and huge flowerheads 
have in common with our forefathers’ Phlox is 
their ancestral hardiness. In New England even 
today one can find them still growing about 
crumbled walls, where they have conquered 
weeds and grass for over a century. Phlox is an 
old-fashioned flower that has kept pace with the 
times! 
























Progress 
Most Obliging of Midsummer Perennials 
with Great Mounds of Color that Show 
Their Beauty from Afar. Very Easy to Grow 
O FLOWERS are more opportune and none could be more welcome when 
your garden cries out for color after the wealth of June’s bloom is gone. 
There’s no midsummer lull with these glorious flowers staging their an- 
nual fiesta. Every one is capable of great garden showmanship. Each is superb 
by itself, yet all cheerfully co6perate with any ‘‘outsider’’ in the border or other 
garden locations. It is in mass plantings, however, that Phlox really come into 
their own, with billowy waves of brilliant color for the summer garden’s Grand 
a Finale. Enjoy the greater garden glory of the new, improved Phlox decussata 
introduced by Jackson & Perkins. Pleasing spicy fragrance. Giant flower-heads 
with individual florets often up to 2 in. across, larger than a silver dollar!
