Hardy Phlox 



Any good garden soil will produce large showy plants of hardy 

 Phlox, crowned by immense heads of brilliant blooms. Yet, a 

 little extra care in preparing the soil will greatly repay with 

 still larger and more numerous flower trusses. If the weather is 

 dry, an occasional thorough soaking of the planting is recom- 

 mended. Cut the first spikes as soon as over to secure a second 

 set of flowers. Phlox is most showy if planted in masses 

 grouping together not less than three plants of a color. It makes 

 Its best show if planted in special beds by itself. 



Brilliant cherry-red flowers of large 

 size combining into magnificent huge 

 flower-trusses carried on strong and substantial stems. This 

 variety is outstanding for the brilliance of its rich color. 

 25fi each; 3 for 65^; 6 for $1.20; 12 for $2.10. 



The flowers are a flaming 

 deep crimson-red, with a 

 somewhat darker eye, producing a striking efl"cct. The large 

 flower trusses are produced with great profusion throughout 

 the season. 30^ each; 3 for 80^; 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.70.
