WEST NEWBURY, MASS. 57 
Phlon 
For masses of color in the garden or border in summer and 
early fall, there is nothing more satisfactory than Phlox. The 
newer varieties have been selected for their clear coloring— 
bright scarlet reds, clear pinks and soft lavenders and purples 
avoiding magenta. These with white give pleasing color 
combinations. 
Phlox should be planted in well-drained, fertile soil and 
thinned every three or four years. This allows more air 
drainage and overcomes the tendency for the lower leaves to 
mildew. Dusting the foliage with sulphur is also one of the 
best methods of prevention. Pick off the faded blooms before 
the seed ripens. This allows the plant to make a second 
flowering and prevents seedlings springing up and choking the 
parent plants. Seedlings are usually inferior in color and 
cause much confusion.
