Phlox Thor 
HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
One of the most valuable of flowers for summer bloom, 
giving unsurpassed mass effects in fine colors. 
Give a well prepared and enriched soil and plenty of water 
and where there is much summer heat, a mulch of manure or 
peat moss is invaluable to protect their sensitive surface 
roots. Plant 16 in. apart. Here are unsurpassed old varieties 
and some of the finest new ones.

in April and here continuing into summer, the 10-inch

blue flowers, Tor some unknown reason we never grew 
this until a year ago and we find it one of the most charm- 
ing subjects as do all visitors. Sun, or best light shade 
and here a well drained but moistened soil rich in humus 
suits it best. Each 40 cts.; 3 for $1.10.
