Plant Phlox for August bloom. 
“Two weeks from the time I received the Sir 
Galahad delphinium, despite an unseasonal snow- 
fall, it was budded and growing as though it had 
never been out of the ground. The other items in my 
order are doing equally well. I shall certainly order 
all my perennials from your firm in the future.”
