HOW TO PLANT 
For Spring or Fall planting. In the north we do not 
recommend planting in the fall. 
Plant so that the crown is 
just beneath the surface and 
use plenty of water when 
planting if the ground is at 
all dry. If the soil is dry as 
winter approaches, stir the 
ground well about the plants 
and cover with a good coarse 
mulch, but do not use leaves 
as they often smother the 
plants. 
CARE OF PHLOX 
Water heavily during dry spells. 
The flowers should not be allowed 
to go to seed. Cut the first flower 
spikes when they are in full bloom 
and use for home decoration. Or, 
if left longer on the plant, they 
should be cut as soon as the blooms 
fade. In this way, a second setting 
of bloom will come on and thus 
the season will be prolonged. This 
plant likes a well-enriched soil and 
a sunny, well-drained position. 
Spray Your Phlox 
for Rust 
We have inquiries ask- 
ing what to do for rust on 
the lower leaves of Phlox. 
Some advise a _ forced 
spray from underneath 
with Bordeaux. Others 
claim a heavy drenching 
with clear water is suffi- 
cient.
