Hardy Phlox 
This glorious family of hardy perennials is, per- 
haps, the most widely known and popular of all the 
various plants which we have in our gardens. Cer- 
tainly no perennial is more worthy of culture, more 
satisfactory in every situation, or more effective, 
either as individual plants or grouped in masses. 
All the Phloxes are well adapted for cutting, with the 
exception of the dwarf form, and are excessively 
floriferous. The early dwarf sorts are unequaled for 
carpeting bare spots, which are soon covered by their 
rapid growth. We have grouped together a very 
large collection of the most distinct and really valu- 
able kinds, which we offer under their respective 
heads. 
DWARF PHLOX 
Everyone of these is worthy of cultivation. They 
grow close to the ground, forming a carpet of foli- 
age, which in early spring is entirely hidden from 
view by the flowers. 
Phlox amoena. April and June. The most beau- 
tiful of this lovely group, somewhat in the way of 
P. procumbens, but more vigorous in growth, pro- 
ducing far more flowers and of a bright, lovely pink. 
10 cts. each, 85 cts. for 10. 
P. Caroliniana ovata. 1 to 2$ ft. A strong-grow- 
ing variety, producing corymbs of large, bright, pur- 
plish red flowers in late spring. One of the best. Is 
very useful for cutting. 15 cts. each, $1.20 for 10. 
P. divaricata. 10 to 18 in. Fragrant, bright lilac 
flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.20 for 10, $10 per 100. 
P. procumbens. 4 in. April and May. Narrow, 
glossy leaves and violet flowers. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10. 
Perennial Phlox 
HARDY PHLOX, continued 
P. reptans. 4 to 8 in. Rose-purple flowers in showy 
clusters. 20 cts. each, $1.50 for 10. 
P. Stellaria. 5 to 6 in. April and May. Handsome 
pale lilac flowers above narrow foliage. Forms' a 
broad, dense bush. 20 cts. each, Si. 50 for 10. 
P. subulata (Moss Pink). 4 to 6 in. One of the 
best to form a carpet of moss-like foliage, entirely 
hidden in spring by the myriads of purple-pink flow- 
ers, with a dark center. 10 cts. each, 85 cts. for 10. 
P., var. alba. A snowy white form of Subulata. 10 
cts. each, 85 cts. for 10. 
P., var. The Bride. White, with red center. Very 
fine. 10 cts. each, 85 cts. for 10. 
P., var. frondosa. 4 to 6 in. April and May. Sheets 
of bright rose-colored flowers. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10. 
TALL, LATE-BLOOMING PHLOX 
DECUSSATA 
The showiest and most vigorous of the group. 
They bloom from July until October, the immense 
heads of flowers measuring from 6 to 9 inches across. 
They are remarkable for their exceedingly bright and 
varied colors, which include all shades from vermil- 
ion to pure white, some also being beautifully striped. 
Our collection embraces the newest and finest nov- 
elties, as well as the older sorts. 2 to 3^ ft.
