VARIOUS PHLOXES. 
The following species and varieties are quite unlike the large-flowering 
Phloxes offered on pages 231 and 232, but are very pretty and useful plants 
in the hardy garden. 
Ameena. ‘his is one of the best varieties for carpeting the ground, the 
rockery or the border; it grows but 4 inches high, and in spring is a 
sheet of rich, bright pink flowers. 15 cts, each; $1.50 per doz.; $10 00 
per 100. 
Carolina Ovata (Mountain Phlox). Grows 12 inches high and bears 
masses of reddish-pink flowers in May and June. 20 cts. each; $2.00 
per doz. $12.00 per 100. 
Divaricata Canadensis. One of our native species, which is worthy 
of extensive planting, commencing to bloom early in April, and continu- 
ing through May, with large, fragrant lavender flowers on stems 10 inches 
high. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
— Laphami Perry’s Variety. In this we have a great improvement; 
the piant being more robust, the flowers 
considerably larger and of a more intense 
shade of lavender blue. 25 cts. each, 
$2.50 per doz. 
— Alba Grandiflora. A grand white 
flowering form, and should prove equally 
valuable and as great a favorite as the 
blue-flowered form. 25 cts. each; $2.50 
per doz. 
— Violet Queen. Deep violet-colored 
flowers; very free. 25 cts. each; $2.50 
per doz. 
Pilosa Splendens. A splendid compan- 
ion to Phlox Divaricata Canadensis, grow- 
ing from 12 to 15 inches high and flower- 
ing at the same time but producing great 
masses of brilliant rosy-carmine flowers. 
An excellent border plant. 25 cts. each; 
$2.50 per doz.

Mixed Hardy Garden Pinks. We offer a fine lot of seeedlings grown from a 
very select strain, which should produce a good percentage of double flowers. 
Those that come single are very pretty, and are preferred by some to the full, 
double sorts. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
PLATYCODON. 
(Balloon Flower or Japanese Bell flower.) 
The Platycodons are closely allied to the Campanulas, and form neat, branched 
bushes of upright habit. __ 
Mrs. Ely says of them: ‘Do best if planted in early spring. They grow from 2 
to 2} feet high, and after the third season each plant will have from ten to twelve 
stalks covered with the lovely blue or white blossoms for nearly a month, beginning 
about July 10th. They are also free from attacks of insects, and if planted in good 
soil and well covered in late autumn with a litter of leaves or stable manure, will 
be found to be quite hardy.’’ 
Grandiflorum. Deep blue cupped, star-shaped flowers. 
— Album. A white-flowered form of the above. 
15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. - Harpy GARDEN PINKS
