PHLOX PANICULATA — Hardy Phlox 
Phlox are the most showy plants in the garden. They are perfectly 
hardy and flower throughout the summer when perennial blossoms are 
needed most. Many of the varieties we list are new, some are old 
favorites, but they are all leaders among the many kinds of this valu- 
able plant. You can make your garden gayer and brighter by plant- 
ing some of these really beautiful Phlox to replace older non-descript 
sorts or some of the horrid magenta-colored seedlings that have 
sprung up. 
The best effects are obtained by planting masses of each color, 
preferrably not less than five of one kind and a greater quantity is 
even better. 
Never let Phlox plants go to seed. Never water Phlox overhead. 
Let hose run slowly along the ground and you can prevent mildew.
