Nephrolepis Superbissima, ar 
Fluffy Ruffles F e r n.” (See 
illustration from photograph 
showing one of my average- 
sized plants.) The leaves are 
wonderfully “fluffed” and cut, 
curled and fluted. 
They are dark green 
and exceedingly 
handsome, and the 
plant is of clean, vig- 
orous growth. The 
leaves are unusually 
stiff and rigid — note 
this in the illustra- 
tion — enabling the 
plant to 
stand much 
rough hand- 
ling. I feel 
that it can- 
not be rec- 
ommended 
too highly. 
Price, strong 
young plants 
2 5 c., 5 0 c., 
75c. and $1. 
PHLOX (Hardy) 
The improved varieties of Hardy Perennial Phlox, which we offer below, are 
among the handsomest and most useful of our hardy harbaceous plants. The 
flowers are very large, and borne in grand, massive heads of most brilliant colors. 
'Phe plants are perfectly hardy, and when established will bloom on year after 
year, with little or no attention. 
Beranger. Ground color white, delicately 
suffused with rosy-pink, and distinct eye 
of same color ; exquisitely marked. 
Henry Marcel (Medium). Pure red, with 
1)right salmon shadings. 
Mrs. Jenkins. The best tall early white for 
massing. 
R. P. Struthers. In our estimation, the very 
best Phlox grown to-day — it has no faults. 
Color clear cherry-red, suffused with sal- 
mon shades ; deep red eye ; fine large truss. 
The color is so clear and clean that each 
individual floret stands out as distinct as 
a cameo. 
Rosenburg. Bright reddish-violet, with 
blood-red eye ; large truss. Individual 
florets as large as a silver dollar. 
Widar. In color a light reddish-violet, with 
very large white center, which intensifies 
the color. 
Price of all Phlox, 30 cts. each ; $3.00 
per dozen.
