HARDY GARDEN PHLOX 
We have tried for many years to grow phlox successfully here, but 
the better varieties “run out” and freeze to the ground and in a year or 
two there are just a few stragglings left. Evidently our soil is not “just 
right” for phlox. We have made arrangements with the people who grow. 
strawberry plants for us this year, listed further back in catalog, to supply 
us with several varieties of garden phlox. The list includes a wide range 
of colors. They are No. 1 plants and can be shipped safely up to May l.
