EARLY BLOOMING PHLOX. 



PHiOX SUFFRUXICOHA. 



Instead oi "he heavy, broad heads oi bloom pro- 

 duced by the varieties of P. decussata, these have long, 

 graceful spikes of flowers. Although the range of color 

 is limited and in some varieties not verj' bright and 

 clear, yet these early Phloxes are of great value by 

 reason of coming into flower some weeks in advance 

 of the other varieties, and continuing in bloom the entire 

 season until late auturr.n.

 carmine rays at center.

MACULATA— A distinct species but resembles P. 

 suffruticosa in habit. A tall robust grower and produces 

 a veritable blaze of bright color for a long period. Prow- 

 ers pure magenta, in large, dense panicles — foliage al- 

 ways bright and fresh. Very valuable for massing in 

 landscape work.

 est of the class and perhaps the best of all the Phloxes.
