HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX p 0 # t l pa,d 
Phlox Decussata. This class of Hardy Perennials is of special importance in every 
flower garden. Succeeds in almost any soil and blooms through a long season. This new 
list covers colors which are sure to please. 
Plants from seed do not come true to color. You should depend on these root 
divisions. 
The best effects to be had with Phlox are produced by planting masses of each color, not 
less than six and even as many as two dozen or more plants together. For example, a bor¬ 
der of Phlox may be planted, beginning with palest pink and shading up to dark cherry, 
then pure white, and white with a red eye, and more white, then a quantity of red and 
again white at the end. If in another border the shades of purple are planted with occa¬ 
sional bunches of white, the Phlox will be the pride of the garden. Our roots are large, 
2 years old, field-grown. Figures at end of description indicate height in inches. 
Price: 20c each; 3 for 55c; 12 for $2.00; except when priced otherwise. AH 
postpaid.

HARDY WATER LILIES postpaid 
Phlox Bed or Border (Collection No.l). 
EVERY YARD CAN MAINTAIN A WATER LILY POOL. 
PLANT YOURS THIS SPRING. 
These Water Lilies are perfectly hardy anywhere in the United States, growing wild 
as far north as Canada. They commence flowering early in the spring and remain in 
flower until late summer. The flowers mostly float on the water and are in shades of 
Pink, Yellow, and White. “Fix-It’' Cement is good for pool work. 25-lb. bag 1 , 50c. 
AN INEXPENSIVE WATER GARDEN 
You can enjoy a water garden without the permanent investment of a concrete pool. 
Discarded water tanks, sawed off to the proper depth; old vats, tubs, bathtubs, barrels, 
trays, and other containers may be had for very nearly the hauling away. A large size 
galvanized washtub does very well. Visit the yards of a wrecking company. Patch leaks 
with hot asphaltum, which can be secured from any roofing company, applying when 
container is thoroughly dry. 
Sink about 2 feet in the ground, in a sunny spot, filling one-third full of soil; plant, 
allowing one Lily for ordinary tub, other containers in proportion. Cover soil, which 
should be good garden loam, with sand or small pebbles to help keep the water clean. 
Pools 2 feet deep are standard, which allows for at least a foot or more of water over 
the plants. It is well to remember that the roots spread out laterally, not growing down 
very deep. Keep the water level fairly constant and the pool clean. Do not drain very 
often, but allow hose to flow in and overflow for an hour or so if pool becomes murky. 
In April, May and June we can supply fine clumps. A small cultural leaflet free for 
the asking. Each
