PagEg RA RIT

Phlox alyssifolia In a creeping Phlox character
in blossom form and pleasing color are desired. P.
alyssifolia has both, in good selections. The
color ranges from pale to deep lilac-pink. Prob-
ably the most delightful carry stronger suffu-
sions of rose or carmine but an occasional plant
will show a warming tinge of salmon or even
a cool bluish mauve.

Garden care, freedom from competition, the right
soil, bring forth glorious bloom for four to six
weeks. Its gentle fragrance carries across the
garden.

This Phlox likes a substantial firmness, always
with drainage, at least for the deeper reaches of
its deep searching roots, doubtless a taste of clay
and lime. Young active roots establish readily.

FOREWORD: To grow the Great Plains plants it
is important to recognize native factors of adapt-
ation and environment. Character and faculty
have been moided in these plants by untold
ages of existence where periods of moisture
shortage are long and of moisture excess mostly
brief.

Moisture retention devices in the plant struc-
ture have been developed to an outstanding de-
gree to withstand shortage; to escape excesses
the wise plants select high places and slopes,
rocky, gravelly and porous soils from which ex-
cess water readily drains away or down, thus
quickly restoring aeration. In general moistness
is sought, wetness avoided.

A recommended scree for replacing soils that

are close textured and impervious, or too rich
and moisture retentive, or to counteract inescap-
able shade from remote trees or other objects, is
mixed from equal parts of ordinary soil, coarse
sand and fine gravel or rock chips, including
some lime. This provides an excellent base for
all Great Plains plants. The needs of certain
subjects for portious of richer soil may be met by
adding leafmold or other humus, locally, in
planting or in top-dressing.
