PERKINS’ PERENNIALS 
Phlox for Summer Color 
Just when your garden needs a lift, the showy, color- 
ful summer Phlox comes into bloom. It thrives in hot 
weather. Use it freely for a brilliant color effect. It 
makes the best showing when planted in groups of 3 or 
more of a kind. 
Phlox likes a rich soil with plenty of moisture. Dust- 
ing with fine sulphur will help to keep the plants 
healthy. Do not allow the seeds to ripen and fall in the 
garden, as the resulting plants will not be true to color.
