WEST NEWBURY, MASS. 71 
Disa 
For color in the garden or border in late summer and fall, 
there is nothing more satisfactory than Phlox. The newer 
varieties, which have been introduced in the past few years, 
have been selected for their clear coloring—bright scarlet 
reds, clear pinks and soft lavender and deeper shades, avoid- 
ing magenta. ‘These, with white, give materials for many 
pleasing color combinations in the garden picture. 
Phlox should be planted in well drained, fertile soil and 
separated or thinned every three or four years. This allows 
more air around the foliage and overcomes a tendency to 
mildew of the lower leaves. We have found that dusting the 
foliage with sulphur is also one of the best methods of preven- 
tion. As soon as the flowers have faded, pick off the heads 
before the seed ripens. This allows the plant to make a second 
flowering and prevents seedlings springing up and choking 
the parent plants. These seedlings are usually much inferior 
in color and cause much confusion.
