HLOX is one of the very few 
perennial flowers where you 
ean get almost any color you 
want, including shades of blue, 
plus some in which the indivi- 
dual blossoms have two colors. 
Therefore, with Phlox you can 
get some very beautiful, and 
striking, color effects in both 
borders and beds. And all of 
Gurney’s Phlox are the new, 
larger-flowered varieties — much 
more beautiful than any you may 
have seen several years ago. 
Phlox like full sun, but you 
will find they will do well in par- 
tial shade also. In fact, the pastel 
pink and blues look better in 
partial shade where they hold 
their color better. Phlox grow 
from 18 to 36” high, depending 
upon the soil, and bloom in be 
and Sept. They are hardy, and do 
well in any ordinary garden soil. 
It is well to cut the flowers be- 
fore they go to seed because the 
seed will come up the following 
spring in muddy magenta color, 
and grow vigorously enough to 
crowd out. your pretty ones.
