Africa. Brilliant carmine-red with blood-red 
eye. Well shaped flower heads composed 
of large florets. Good strong stem and not 
subject to mildew if properly taken care of. 
One of the best new dark red varieties . . . 
Antonin Mercier. A delicate lilac-blue; free- 
flowering variety of medium height, and 
fairly free from red spider. During pro¬ 
longed hot weather the color fades to a 
very pale lilac; in light shade, however, 
the coloring is constant. This and Maid 
Marion are the best of the lilacs . 
B. Comte. Tall growing variety producing 
large heads of rich satiny amaranth flow¬ 
ers. Very brilliant. Looks well planted 
close to a yellow-flowered plant.55 
Beacon. Brilliant cherry-red. Grows 36 
inches high. The flower heads are carried 
on straight, strong stems. An excellent 
variety and one of the best of this color . . 
Caroline Vandenburg. This Phlox is the most 
attractive of the lavender shades; it is a 
true lavender-blue without the magenta 
shades peculiar to this section. Large in¬ 
dividual flowers .65 
Commander (Von Hindenburg). The color 
is a brilliant deep crimson-red with 
slightly darker eye. Grows about 24 to 
30 inches high and produces a great many

plants reach a height of about 30 inches ..

Elizabeth Campbell. Light salmon-pink with 
lighter shadings toward the center of 
flower. Decidedly the finest Phlox of this 
color, but unfortunately, a weak variety 
and slow grower, requiring more care and 
attention than most varieties .

Ethel Pritchard. A delightfully French- 
mauve colored Phlox, which, if seen on 
a cloudy day, looks almost as pale blue 
as our native Phlox Divaricata. It is a 
strong grower, flowers freely and should 
be planted with white or yellow flowers 
to look its best. Fairly tall grower.
