HARDY PERENNIAL. PHLOX 
This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties now offered makes 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. They 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 havea rich, 
deep and rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of from two to ‘Shree 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’ culti- 
vated, their entire hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful coloring, make them 
especially valuable for garden planting. 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. Plant Phlox; they take care of themselves and get better each year. 10 cents each, six for 50 
cents, fourteen for $1.00.

HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
Beautiful | Flowering Cannas 
Cannas are called the poor man’s orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard or garden for the minimum 
of both outlay and labor. They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly throughout a long season, requiring merely ordinary hoeing and 
weeding, and they always respond to plenty of water. Soak the ground thoroughly. Planted in beds of any formal shape, in 
rows or in front of porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and gaudy bloom well repay their care and the insignifi- 
cant trouble of winter storage. 
GUSTAV GUMPFER—An ideal bedder, possessing the prac- 
Green=Leaved, Truss=Flowering Cannas 
In the Truss Cannas, the individual flowers are smaller than 
in the orchid Cannas, but more of them open at a time,thus mak- 
ing a truss of bloom of great effectiveness. 
Novelties in Green=Leaved Truss=Flow= 
ering Cannas 
BRILLIANT—One of the most striking yellow variegated Cannas 
ever offered. The yellow is a peculiarly bright waxy shade 
with two curling tongue-like petals of fiery-red that appear to 
dart from the center. Three and one-half feet, 20 cents. 
_ DUKE OF YORK—Not-the newest Canna, but the best pink. 
It blooms prodigiously. Immense heads of large individual 
florets. A clear, even pink, with throat of cream and broadly 
edged with a border‘of gold. Extremely beautiful and fas- 
cinating. Four and one-half feet, 25 cents. 
GLADIOFLORA—Remarkable for the unusual shape of the flow- 
ers, which look like large Gladioli. Petals are rounded and 
so wide they overlap each other. Color is carmine-rose, edged 
with gold; beautiful. Three aud one-half feet, 25 cents. 
tical qualities of compact growth, free and continuous-bloom- 
ing, and self-cleaning habit; uniform flower; heads well above 
the foliage. Color, the richest kind of orange-yellow; extra. 
Three and one-half feet, 20 cents. 
HALLEY’S COMET-—A striking addition to the galaxy of Star 
Cannas. Flowers large, of blazing scarlet. The throat is 
pure yellow, and with a narrow thread of pure yellow areund 
each wavy edged petal. Three and one-half feet, 25 cents. 
HUNGARIA—This Canna catches the eye insistently and de- 
mands attention. The petals are round and waxy made up 
into big round trusses. Its color forcibly suggests the well 
known “Paul Neyron’’ Rose, and is unquestionably the most 
attractive and fascinating pink Canna ever produced. Three 
and one-half feet, 25 cents. 
KATE F. DEEMER—tThe grand flowers open a rich oriole- 
yellow, which gradually gives place to turkey-red in throat of 
the flower, this in striking contrast with the rest of the blossom, 
which turns almost white. Thus two colors of flowers will be 
on the same stalk at one time. This makes a fascinating com- 
bination, and is the most unusual of all Cannas. Four feet, 
50 cents.
