HARDY PERENNIAL PbANTi 



207 



A NE>V RACE OF 



HARDV PIII.OXES. 



'Phlox Arendsij 



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 latter part of May, they continue in good con- 

 dition for nearly two months, producing a mass of flowers unknown 

 in other types of Phlox. 



From a large number of varieties we have selected six of the most 

 distinct sorts. (See cut.) 

 Amanda. The dwart'est 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. 

 Crete. Plant of very branching habit, 20 inches high, producing 



great masses of medium-sized white flowers. 

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



Canadensis; shapely plant; 15 to 18 inches high. 

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



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, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. One each of the 6 varieties for 



$2.50. 



PHLOX SUBUtrATA (Moss,or Mountain Pink). 



An early spring-flowering type, with pretty moss-like evergreen 

 foliage, whicii, during the flowering season, is hidden under the 

 masses of bloom. An excellent plant for the rockery, the border, 

 and invaluable for carpeting the ground or covering graves. 

 Alba. Pure white. I Lilacina. Light lilac. 



New Hardy Phlox Arendsi. 



Atropurpurea. Purplish-rose. I Nelsoni. Pure white. 



Rosea. Bright rose. 

 10 cti. each; $1.00 per doz.; $G 00 per 100 



Phlox Divaricata Alba Grandiflora 



Early Flo^veriiig Hardy Phloxes. 



(Phlox Suffruiticosa.) 



While this type does not contain the rich colors which are a 

 feature of the other well known sorts, it is invaluable on account of coming 

 into bloom in May, or fully six weeks earlier than the others, and continu- 

 ing throughout the season. (See illustration on page 206.) 

 Hercules. Bright rosy-lilac. 



Mrs. Dalrymple. White, shaded rose; scarlet eye. 



Miss Lingard. A grand white variety; lilac eye; large individual florets. 

 Ninon. Deep rosy-lilac. 



Price, 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



VARIOUS PHI.OXES. 



Amcena. This 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. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 

 per 100. 



Divaricata Canadensis. One of our native species, which is worthy 

 of extensive planting, commencing to bloom early in April, and con- 

 tinuing 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 plant being more robust, the flowers considerably larger and of a 

 more intense shade of lavender-blue. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



— Alba Qrandiflora. 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. 



Ovata Carolina (Mountain Phlox). Grows 12 to 15 inches high, and 

 bears masses of reddish-pink flowers in May and June. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Pilosa Splendens. A splendid companion to Phlox Divaricata Cana- 

 densis, growing from 12 to 15 inches high and flowering at the same 

 time, but producing great masses of brilliant rosy-carmine flowers. An 

 excellent border plant. 35 cts. each; $0.50 per doz.
