Mrs. Ely says: 'The best effects to be had with Phlox are produced by planting masses of each color, not less than six and even as many as two dozen or more plants of one color together. For example, a border of Phlox may be planted, beginning with palest pink and shading up to dark cherry, then pure white, and white with a red eye, and more white, then a quantity of red and again white at the end. If in another border the shades of purple are planted with occasional bunches of white, the Phlox will be the pride of the garden.' Albion. Pure white, with a faint red eye. Australia.
