Various Phlox Species 
♦Amoena. This is one of the best varieties 
for carpeting the ground, the rockery or 
the border. It grows but 4 inches high 
and in the spring is a sheet of rich bright 
pink flowers . 
*Divaricata canadensis. One of our native 
species, which is worthy of extensive 
planting, commencing to bloom early in 
April, and continuing through May, with 
large, fragrant, lavender flowers on stems 
10 inches high. In spring this plant is sold 
in pots to insure best results; in fall field- 
grown plants are best to use .. 
*Ovata (Carolina). Bright rosy red flowers 
in great quantities on 12-inch stems dur¬ 
ing June and July; good for the rockery . . 
*Arendsi, Louise. Phlox Arendsi are a result 
from crossing Phlox Divaricata and Phlox 
Paniculata. The most remarkable result 
is that they flower from early spring until 
late in the autumn. There are several 
varieties all more or less alike. Louise, 
offered here, is a bright lilac with lilac- 
carmine eye. About 20 inches high, suited 
for front of the border in light shade or 
sun . 1.35 
Phygelius - Cape Figwort 
*Capensis (Cape Fuchsia), This is a hardy 
Fuchsia. It endures hot, dry weather well. 
The plants are perfectly hardy as far north 
as Philadelphia, but require protection 
further north where they will act much the 
same as Buddleia, producing new shoots 
each summer which bear purple flowers all 
summer until frost. A splendid plant for 
the South or hot, dry states . 1.10 
Plumbago - Leadwort 
*Larpentae. One of the most desirable border 
and rock plants. It is of dwarf, spreading 
habit, growing 6 to 8 inches high, covered 
with deep blue flowers during late summer 
and fall .55
