PHLOX 
CREEPING PHLOX (Phlox subulata) 
One of the most popular low growing perennials 
blooming in early spring with tulips and other 
spring bulbs. Colors of the new varieties are a 
great improvement over the vivid magenta 
from which they were bred. Very effective as 
borders, at the front of perennial beds or in 
rock gardens and stone walls. The foliage re- 
mains green all winter. 6 in. 
Subulata alba. This variety spreads into shining 
evergreen mats which are completely covered 
with white blooms in early spring. A perfect 
foil for bright colored, low growing perennials. 
Blue Hill. Lovely soft ‘‘blue’’ which is especially 
effective when planted with the more vivid col- 
ors of creeping phlox. Blooms in the early 
spring and often produces some flowers again 
in the fall. 
Either of the two creeping phlox: 
60c each; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.30. 
TALL VARIETIES 
The one perennial that can be depended upon 
to provide lots of color in August. No flower 
has ever taken its place. Plant the tall phlox 
in any airy place in good garden soil and keep 
them well watered in late summer. Cut off 
flower heads before they go to seed. 
We are sorry that, due to adverse growing conditions, 
we are unable to offer any tall growing, August 
blooming phlox this year.
