A Note From “The Hoe.” Flaming Colours
For brilliancy and flaming colours no plants can surpass the perennial phlox, xvhich are now to be seen at the height of their beauty. They appear to best advantage when massed in front of the shrubbery, where their strikingly vivid colours make a remarkable contrast. The pink and red shades of perennial phlox are unique—I know of no other flowers which produce such rich and charming blooms. A soil rich In humus, but still drained, is the desirable medium. Perennial phlox cannot stand dry conditions, anil frequent waterings are essential where the necessary humus is not in the soil. Phlox is a gross feeder and appreciates frequent applications of liquid manure, but when well treated, it more than repays its owner.
