OR a brilliant, bold color effect in mass during the late sum- 
mer and autumn, the Hardy Phloxes (decussata types) are 


indispensable. Without them it would be difficult to maintain 
the display of color during July and August when sometimes there 
is little else in bloom in the perennial border. The low-growing 
or trailing subulata and certain species of Phlox blooming in April, 
May and June may be considered a preview to the taller and more 
showy Phlox:to come in later summer. 
Simple of culture, they require only a fairly rich soil and water. 
The removal of flower-heads after blooms are faded will encourage 
new flowers from side shoots to lengthen the blooming period.
