For twelve varieties of Hybrid Garden Phloxes raised from our plants. 
Every purchaser of -stock to the value oi $5.00 or more from our catalogue at 
one time during the spring of 1903, can try for these cash awards without cost, as 
we make no charge for the plants. 
The raising of Choice Hardy Garden Phloxes has been a specialty with us at 
the nursery for years, and we have carefully tested about all the European and 
American varieties, We have carried on a very systematic series of experiments 
with cross fertilizing and hybridizing and have succeeded in producing some very 
striking new varieties. From these new varieties we have raised a very promising 
lot of seedlings (about 2,000) which will bloom for the first time the coming sum- 
mer. No two will be alike and while there will surely be some very inferior ones 
among them, as is always the case, on the other hand some splendid new varieties 
can be confidently expected. We have decided to distribute these plants among 
our customers, preferring to have no customer grow more than a single plant. To 
add a practical side to the interest of growing on to maturity these plants whose 
unknown possibilities may be so great, we offer the following cash awards : 
first Award, $15.00. Second Award, $10.00. 
Ccn Awards of $2.00 €acb. 
We reserve the privilege of purchasing for $1.00 each, any plants which do 
not get a cash award. 
These awards will be announced October 20th, 1903, any candidates reaching 
us after October 1 5th being too late. 
The awards will be determined on the following points: 
CHARACTER OF BLOOM. Size, Color and Texture. 
CHARACTER OF PANICLE. General Form. 
CHARACTER OF GROWTH. Vigor, Foliage, etc. 
Any decided variation of merit from existing forms will be given careful 
consideration. 
Tear out along the dotted line.
