PERENNIAL PHLOX 
OUTSTANDING VARIETIES 
Perennial phlox is easy to grow and will give abundant 
bloom throughout the summer months. Set the plants about 
1 ft. apart each way in well enriched soil and water by irri- 
gation rather than by overhead sprinkling. They prefer 
more sun than shade and a moist cool soil which may be 
obtained by a heavy mulch of peat moss or well rotted 
manure. Lift and divide every 3 or 4 years.
