NEW HARDY PHLOX ARENDSI 



A New Race of Phloxes 

 Phlox Arendsi. 



At the great international exhibition held in London in 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 atten- 

 tion. This new type originated through the successful crossing of 

 the early-flowering popular Phlox Divaricata Canadensis with the 

 showy hardy herbaceous varieties of Phlox Decussata. The plants 

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

 from twelve to twenty-four inches high. Coming into flower dur- 

 ing the latter part of May, they continue in good condition for 

 nearly two months. 



From a large number of varieties, the introducer has selected for 

 us six of the most distinct sorts. 

 Amanda. The dwartest of the collection growing but 12 inches 



high, very bushy, flowers delicate lilac with deeper centre. 

 Charlotte. Grows eighteen to twenty-four inches high, flowers 

 very large, pale lilac shaded pink, with a prominent dark eye; 

 one of the best. 

 Qrete. Plant of very branching habit, twenty inches high, pro- 

 ducing great masses of medium-sized white flowers. 

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



Canadensis. Shapely plant, fifteen to eighteen inches high. 

 Kathe. Stems loosely branched, about twenty inches high, flow- 

 ers purplish-rose, with a dark eye, surrounded by a lighter halo. 

 Lulse. A strong-growing variety, about two feet high, light lilac 

 flowers with a carmine eye. 



Price. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per dozen; $20.00 per 100. 



Phlox Maculata tlybrida Alpha 



A cross between our native species Maculata and some of the 

 showier types of Decussata. and though its color is not rich, it 

 being a soft amaranth-pink, it is so remarkably free flowering that 

 it should find a place in every collection. It will be found espec- 

 ially useful in the Shrub border. Its habit of growth is very 

 vigorous, forming bushy specimens from 2 to 2>-2-feet high, each 

 shoot being terminated by a spike of flowers fully 10 inches long. 

 These are produced continuously from early in June until freezing 

 weather. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.
