Fair's Hardy Phloxes 



The Late Summer Messengers of Cheer 



At this season nothing can take the place of the Phloxes, with their 

 great, hydrangea-like clusters of starry flowers — beautiful wherever you put 

 them. You have room for some of my Phloxes — if crowded, plant them 

 among Peonies or Oriental Poppies ; the Phloxes will not be ready until the 

 other things are gone. They bloom naturally in July and August, but can 

 be kept back as long as desired by keeping the buds, pinched off. 



I have made the Phlox a leading specialty and offer a wonderful group of 

 standards and novelties numbering about 200 kinds, both tall and dwarf- 

 growing. The colors are quite beyond description — solid crimson, violet and 

 white ; dainty tints of mauve, lavender and flesh-pink, touching every hue 



save yellow. Phloxes become dormant in 

 late October, and should be planted then. 



Irises, Peonies, Delphiniums, Poppies 



— these and many other members of the noble peren- 

 nial group are included in the great collections for 

 which \V yomissing Nurseries have become famous. I 

 pride myself, not on the great number of groups of 

 plants that I produce here, but on the completeness of 

 each group — practically nowhere elsecan you find such 

 a wide range of varieties and colors to choose from. 

 To you who plan gardens with individualities of their 

 own, such opportunity for selecting means much. 



Fair's Book of 



Hardy Plant Specialties 



describing accurately my Phloxes and other hardy 

 plants, is a practical and beautiful work. Illustrated 

 from photographs made at Wyomissing — many of them 

 in the full natural colors, cultural directions — in 

 many cases made while the plants were in bloom — 

 make it simply invaluable as a reference work. Your 

 request will bring it free, if you have a hardy garden 

 or expect to plant one.
