Phlox 
The perennial garden phlox that we are offering to our cus¬ 
tomers in 1936 has been augmented by a few choice varieties 
so that our collection this year is even better than before. 
Some of the older varieties we have only in small lots and, 
therefore, are discontinuing them and supplanting them with 
others, which in our opinion, are far better. 
If you do not see any varieties listed that you would like, 
please write us for many times we have just a few but not 
enough to warrant placing them in our catalog. 
The number of Phlox in our gardens is very large and 
where they have been mixed through any oversight on our 
part, we are simply selling them to color at about one-half 
price. This will mean that you will get a great many of the 
higher priced ones sometimes at very reasonable cost, indeed. 
(Our price is $1.00 and $1.25 per dozen when sold to 
color only.) 
Do not allow the seed to ripen but clip off the old blooms 
as soon as they wither. This induces a second flowering and 
also keeps seedlings from choking out the parent plant. These 
seedlings will, for the most part, show magenta shades and 
will spoil the color effect. If phlox are taken care of in this 
manner they will continue to grow and bloom for many years. 
The best fungicide which we have found is dry sulphur 
dusted on the leaves. This will prevent red spider and mildew 
which sometimes make the leaves rusty. A small hand-duster 
and specially prepared fine sulphur will be found very effec¬ 
tive. This treatment will also help delphiniums and other 
perennials suffering from fungi. 
SERIES A 
20 cents each; $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 
Six plants of one variety will be furnished at the 
dozen rate, twenty-five or more at the hundred rate. 
Double sized plants for immediate effect at double 
price. 
The following will be found to be very satisfactory as they 
are all clear distinct colors and strong growers. 
Hanny Pfleiderer, a beautiful velvety white overlaid with 
light rose-pink, with carmine eye, flowers large, medium 
height. Midseason. 
Miss Lingard, one of the earliest flowering tall varieties. 
Medium sized white flower and dark green foliage. A con¬ 
tinual bloomer. 
Stella’s Choice, a tall vigorous grower. Trusses very large 
and snow-white. Extra nice. Late. 
Most people consult their physician when unwell. Home 
lovers should consult a nurseryman or Landscape 
architect for advice.
