HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX

Among hardy herbaceous plants, none are more showy or more
easily grown than the Phlox. They are very desirable planted in
groups. Individual clumps throughout perennial beds make a very
satisfactory display, while mass plantings of one color make the
most effective showing.

They produce magnificent trusses of flowers, commencing to
bloom in July, and lasting for weeks, making them always favorites
of the garden. Their flowers have a very agreeable odor, and are
produced in abundance. The plants are perfectly hardy and will
grow year after year with but little care. I recommend frequent
cultivation, however, as they quickly respond to it, producing much
larger trusses, and larger and more beautiful individual flowers.
Simply keep the ground clear of weeds and well hoed. They will
grow and do well in any soil; but prefer a good rich well-drained
loam. They may be planted in the Fall during August, September
and October; and in the Spring during April, May, and until the
plants are too far advanced in June. In planting be sure that
the crown of the root, that is, the part where the new shoots start,
is two inches below the surface of the ground.
