PERENNIAL PHLOX 
Hardy Named Phlox 
Perennial Phlox succeeds in almost any soil, 
but of course extra care in preparing and 
enriching the soil and watering plants in dry 
weather will result in better plants and 
flowers. If the first spikes of bloom, which 
usually appear in July and August, are re- 
moved as soon as over, the plants will pro- 
duce a second supply of flowers.
