ASSORTED COLLECTIONS 
For those who wish a collection without names, we 
can furnish a very good assortment in our selection of 
colors in two grades — $4.00 and $6.00 per dozen. If 
marked to color such as red, pink or white, in any assort- 
ment you select, at $7.50 per dozen. They are all good

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 flowering and 
prevents seedlings springing up and choking the parent plants. 
Seedlings are usually inferior in color and cause much con- 
fusion. 
40 cents each; $3.50 per ten except as noted.
