How To Ostain Best RESULTS WITH PHLOX—For vigorous plants with 
most generous bloom, plant all Phlox 15 inches apart, spring or fall. 
Plant in any ordinary, well-drained, deeply spaded soil and in full 
sun. Wards plants are field grown for one year—they will bloom the 
first season. To prolong blooming season, remove all flowerheads 
before they fade. Water well about roots—never on foliage and 
flowers. Lift plants and divide every fourth fall after blooming.
