Phiox Uecussata 
HARDY SUMMER PHLOX 
Full Sun 
Their dazzling colors have stopped many a car on the Washington-Baltimore 
Boulevard and drawn them in for a closer view—and this in July and August, too. 
People from all over the country come and proclaim that they have never seen the 
like in brilliant bright red, pink, purple, snow white, watermelon pink, etc. They usu- 
ally end up by taking home one or more plants to brighten up their own gardens during 
those hot months when it is more difficult to keep Perennials blooming. 
Why not try a few yourself? Plant them and you'll have a magnificent show.
