ASSORTED COLLECTIONS

names, we can furnish a good assortment in two 
grades— $4.00 and $6.00 per dozen. They are all 
good varieties and would be worth much more if 
sold to name.

and $7.50 per dozen. 

Phlox 
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, soft lavenders and purples 
avoiding magenta. These with white give pleasing color com- 
binations. 
Phlox should be planted in well-drained, fertile soil and 
thinned every three or four years. This allows more air drain- 
age 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 flower- 
ing and prevents seedlings springing up and choking the 
parent plants. Seedlings are usually inferior in color and 
cause much confusion. 
40 cents each; $3.50 per ten except as noted. 
Five plants of one variety will be furnished at the 
ten rate. 
Blue Boy, medium height, midseason. A newer variety 
which is one of the best “‘blue” phlox. 50 cents each, 
$4.50 per ten. 
Border Queen, dwarf, midseason. Large heads with un- 
usually large florets of watermelon-pink. 
Charles Curtis, medium height, midseason. Large heads of 
brilliant crimson-red. Effective color note in the border. 
50 cents each, $4.50 per ten.
