New Hardy Phlox Arendsi 



A NEW RACE OF 



HARDY PHLOXES. 



(Phlox Arendsi.) 



At the great International Exhibition held in London, May, 

 1912, where this new type of Phlox received an Award of Merit 

 no other new plant in the Hardy Perennial class attracted such 

 great attention. It originated through the successful crossing of 

 the early flowering popular Phlox Divaricata Canadensis with 

 the showy hardy varieties of Phlox Decussata. The plants are 

 of vigorous, branching habit, growing, according to the variety, 

 from 12 to 24 inches high. Coming into flower during the lat- 

 ter part of May, they continue in good condition for nearly two 

 months, producing a mass of flowers unknown in other types of 

 Phlox. 



Amanda. The dwarfest of the collection, growing but 12 

 inches high, very bushy, flowers delicate lilac with deeper 

 centre. 

 Charlotte. Grows 18 to 24 inches high, flowers very large, 

 pale lilac shaded pink with a prominent dark eye; one of the 

 best. 

 Grete. Plant of very branching habit, 20 inches high, pro- 

 ducing great masses of medium-sized white flowers. 

 Helene. Of a beautiful lavender-blue color; similar to Divari- 

 cata Canadensis; shapely plant; 15 to 18 inches high. 

 Kathe. Stems loosely branched, about 20 inches high; flowers 

 purplish-rose with a dark eye surrounded by a lighter 

 halo. , 



Louise. A strong-growing variety about 2 feet high; light 



lilac flowers with a carmine eye. 

 Price, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. One each of the 6 varie- 

 ties for $1.25.
