PHLOX 
47 
Tlie Phlox is a native of our western prairies. There were thousands of acres 
of wild Phlox in this country before tl e w hite n an ever saw it. They are used to 
the winds and heat of summer and the blizzards of winter. • The improved, culti- 
vated varieties show how much the gardener can do to assist Nature in developing 
more radiant and graceful forms. Phlox means "flame" — and where else will you 
find the glowing brilliancy of a cluster of these charming flowers? And where is 
there a flower that will yield such a wealth of continuous bloom, regardless of 
storms, heat, or drouth all through the middle of the hot sumrcer? 
COQUELICOT Red, medium height. An orange-scarlet or vermilion, with a sirall 
purple eye. The finest, brightest, and most noticeable red. It stands cut in the 
garden like a flame of fire. 
FRAU VON LASSBURG White, medium to tall. A pure snow white, the largest 
and Ijest of that color. Especially good for cut flowers. 
LE MAHDI Blue; medium height. A deep pure violet-blue. The best of this 
color. Very large flowers. 
MISS LINGARD White, with a light pink center; tall. A creamy white, with 
faint pink at the center; a very attractive flower; especially valuable for cutting. 
Grown largely by florists. While it can not be classed as an ever-bloon er, it will 
produce several crops in a season. A great favorite with everyone. 
RICHARD WALLACE White, with a crimson eye. Tall. The large white petals 
are tinted with lavender, which gives it a very striking appearance. Hardy and 
almost a continuous bloomer. One of the best for cut flowers. 
MlBB Lingud. White with pink center. Frau Von Lassburg. Pure white.
