 lias, having the same round, ball-like form, but much smaller 

 in size. The plants are also smaller. Of branching habit, 

 producing the flowers in endless profusion. As they can be 

 cut in sprays, they are valuable for bouquets and for small 

 grounds ; also useful as borders to beds of tall growing plants. 

 Everybody loves them. Price, 15 cents eJich, four for 50 cents,

Dahlias 



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 have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let etich 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 planting. The Perennial Phlox usually com- 

 mence 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. Price, 10 cents each, three for 25 cents, seven for 50 cents, fifteen for $1.00
