Culture of Phlox. A garden loam, neutral to slightly acid, easily 
workable and of modern richness, with no lack of moisture during 
the flowering season, spells success with phlox. Full sun is advised, 
but light shade is permissable. To avoid damage from red spider 
which sometimes blights the lower leaves, dust with powdered sulphur, 
applying when plants are dry, early in the season and once or twice 
later. Do not wait until damage is evident, but begin early. Sulphur is 
beneficial also, because it builds up soil acidity, a requirement for best 
results. 
Lovelier Lilacs 
The improved varieties of Lilac are popularly called French Hy¬ 
brids, because many have been originated by French breeders. The 
long continued popularity of the Lilac gains headway each season. This 
is not difficult to appreciate when beauty, fragrance, long life and free¬ 
dom from disease and pests are combined with hardiness and certainty 
of performance. 
Our Lovelier Lilacs are hardier, more vigorous, bloom sooner after 
planting, and with more certainty each season than the common lilac, 
either white or purple. Every plant we send out is grown from the be¬ 
ginning on its “own roots.” This permits no possibility of sprouting 
from an understock as with grafted plants; it insures a healthy plant 
of utmost vigor and long life from a natural root-system.
