54 CHERRY HILL NURSERIES 
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 
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. 
50 cents each; $4.00 per ten.
