PH LOX—Flame Flower; Wild Sweet William 
Flox, a flame 
Various colors 12 to 36 inches April to Sept. 
CULTURE. They need plenty of moisture and should be watered regularly 
in dry weather. The soil should be prepared deeply and away from the grass, 
as they are gross feeders. If planted too near the grass, the grass will rob the 
plant of its food and water. Set them about 18 inches apart in full sun or 
semi-shade. When they are through blooming do not let them go to seed, 
but cut them back and they will bloom again later on. 
PROPAGATION. Same as for Phlox Subulata. 
USES. The fragrance and the lasting quality makes it a sn'endid cut flower. 
Plant them in front of shrubbery or alongside of Dianthus. They combine well 
with most perennials. A succession of blooms may be carried throughout the 
summer by planting the different varieties. Phlox have become a flower un- 
surpassed as they are in a class by themselves for their size and gorgeous 
blooms. They are best planted in masses of each color together; by so doing 
it gives a wonderful effect. 
DISEASES. Same as for Phlox Subulata.
