WEST NEWBURY, MASS. 59 
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 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. 
40 cents each; $3.50 per ten except as noted. 
Five plants of one variety will be furnished 
at the ten rate.

salmon.
