Phlox 
These interesting varieties of phlox that we are offer¬ 
ing in our 1937 catalog, have been selected from what 
we call the cream of all varieties and such as we think 
will give our customers the utmost satisfaction, either 
when planted out singly—as a border—or in groups. 
We are discontinuing some of the older varieties that 
we have had growing here and are selling them to color 
at the price of $1.00 and $1.25 a dozen, $6.00 and $7.00 
per hundred. 
In planting out these phlox we would say to those who 
have not had the experience in taking care of these, 
that it is always best to clip off the old blossoms just as 
soon as they are through blooming, for when the seeds 
are allowed to form and drop off, these same seeds ger¬ 
minate into little, tiny plants which come up almost un¬ 
noticed ampng the larger plants and when they bloom 
they have a wide variety of coloring, thus giving the 
planter the thought that the original plants are revert¬ 
ing to former colors. 
Phlox should be planted on a well-drained soil and 
they will then give the utmost satisfaction both in 
growth and in coloring. 
Many times the phlox are subject to a fungus which is 
of a dirty, dark gray color and which discolors practi¬ 
cally all of the foliage. The best fungicide that we know 
of is dry sulphur dusted on the underside of the leaves. 
This will also take care of mildew and the red spider.
