PHLOX 
Following the Irises and Peonies in time of 
bloom, but in no way behind them in popu¬ 
larity, are the Hardy Perennial Phloxes. We 
have weeded out all the magentas and purples, 
and believe that our list is as select as that 
offered by any firm. 
Phloxes are shallow-rooted plants and 
should, therefore, be planted a little deeper 
than most plants and kept well tilled to con¬ 
serve the moisture, as they cannot stand dry, 
packed soil like Peonies and Irises. No fer¬ 
tilizer should be near the roots. A little bone- 
meal sprinkled on the surface of the ground 
before hoeing gives good results, but be careful 
not to use too much.

ROSEDALE SOIL 
Not the least factor in the success of Rosedale Nurs¬ 
eries has been its perfect soil. Did it ever occur to you 
that the most important requisite for good trees is good 
soil—soil in which they find just the ingredients that 
make them grow clean and thrifty ? Rosedale soil seems 
to have been made on purpose for a nursery. At a bend 
in the Saw Mill River, where the valley is considerably 
widened, this old river-bottom has been greatly en¬ 
riched, not only by the sediment brought down the 
stream at flood-tide, but by the washing down of the 
good soil and leafmold from the surrounding hills. We 
thus have a gravelly loam, superimposed on a clay sub¬ 
soil. This not only tends to grow masses of fibrous roots 
but also to form a solid ball of earth for handling of 
evergreens. Owing to this soil being naturally rich in 
tree ingredients, the trees do not have to be forced by in¬ 
tensive fertilizing which tends to make hothouse growth.
