Phlox (Subulata) Rock 
Garden Varieties 
An early spring-flowering type with the 
beautiful moss-like evergreen foliage, 
which during the months of April and 
May is hidden under the masses of bloom. 
Fine plant for the rockery, border, and 
invaluable for covering graves or where 
a carpet of flowers is wanted. Because of 
its earliness to flower, it needs to be in 
every rock garden. 
We supply these charming rock plants 
in Pink, Lavender and White. 
Price, each 45c; three, $1.25. 
Hardy Named Phlox 
Perennial Phlox succeeds in almost any 
soil, but of course extra care in preparing 
and enriching the soil and watering 
plants in dry weather will result in better 
plants and flowers. If the first spikes of 
bloom, which usually appear in July and 
August, are removed as soon as over, the 
plants will produce a second supply of 
flowers, continuing the display until late 
in the autumn. Perfectly hardy. 
Price—Named Phlox, all varieties, 40c; 
each; three for $1.10; dozen, $4.00—Either 
all alike or assorted colors. All postpaid.

Cultural Suggestions for 
Chrysanthemums 
Plant in a sunny location, in any good 
zarden soil with good drainage. If soil is 
too heavy, mix coarse sand, leaf mold, peat 
moss or well-rotted manure to a depth of 
12 to 18 inches. Plant firmly at same level 
as growing before. Do not plant too deeply. 
It is a good idea to sprinkle a little coarse 
sand or peat moss on surface after plant- 
ing. 
May and early June are the Fest months 
for planting. Space the plants about 18 
neches apart and water well. Do not let 
olants suffer for lack of water. When the 
foliage shows any sign of drooping or get- 
cing hard, it is a sure sign that the plant 
‘s thirsty. Water at the root and do not 
wet the foliage if it can be avoided. The 
vest time to water is in the early morning 
or evening. Water thoroughly so that the 
water will penerate to the root where it 
is needed. If the soil dried up too fast, it 
may indicate a lack of humus; in which 
case a top dressing of peat moss or well- 
rotted manure should be given.
