Hardy Perennial Phlox 



This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties now offered make it especially 

 desirable. These noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals, but the cheerful appearance of our gardens during the summer and 

 autumn months is much indebted to them. Tney succeed in any position or soil, and can be used to advantage either as single specimens 

 in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. To produce the best results, however, they should have a rich, deep and 

 rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of from two to three feet in which to develop. They will continue to thrive for several 

 years with little attention, as is attested by the fine clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which they are cultivated; their entire 

 hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful coloring, make them especially valuable for garden 

 panting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence to bloom in early summer, and are brilliant with color until after several frosts have 

 come. They are admirably adapted for cemetery planting, also for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and unsightly objects.

Abelia Grandiflora 



Fine for Hedges or Around Foundations and Porches. 



This is one of the prettiest of all shrubs. Has small shiny leaves 

 like they were glazed. Bears its bell-shaped pure white flowers in 

 the greatest profusion all summer long, deliciously fragrant. This 

 shrub is perfectly hardy south of Kentucky, but should be planted 

 in a protected location in the northern states. Much sought after 

 where it is known. We would advise our customers in tne South 

 to plant this shrub for hedges. 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 12 

 for $1.80; $15.00 per hundred.

 vantage of being much more graceful — its foliage being finer than

 ing cut, the whole plant being of a bright, cheerful green. Excellent 

 house plants, succeeding under almost any conditions; by pinching 

 back may be grown as a plant. 15 cents each; 3 for 40 cents;

 for decorative purposes or for planting in baskets or vases. Fronds 

 are frequently four feet long, of a rich shade of green, and most 

 useful for cutting, retaining their freshness for weeks after being 

 cut. It will make an excellent house plant, as it withstands dry 

 atmosphere and will succeed in almost any situation. 15 cents
