Plant Patent No. 118

duce from six to fifteen flower-spikes. The rich dark green leaves cover the stems down to the 
ground. Mildew is unknown to this variety. 
The flower-stalks are about 2 x /z feet high, stiff 
and erect. When cut, the flowers last over a jg W K f JP ^fPBsfp FOR general

Mrs. Francis King, America’s 
great garden authority, writes of 
this Phlox as follows: 
“Columbia, the new cameo-pink 
Phlox which has just risen on the 
garden horizon, is of most exquisite 
beauty. A soft pink, recalling that 
of Elizabeth Campbell, but lighter, 
more delicate, and with an eye of 
light blue which has a charming 
effect upon the general color of the 
flower, this Phlox grows to 2 or 
2 % feet, very bushy, and—a fact 
most marvelous—it has no enemies. 
Red spider does not visit it, mildew 
does not cover it—it is entirely 
pest-free and flourishes after the 
coldest winter and in the hottest, 
driest summer. Altogether an 
amazingly good addition to the list 
of plants which give color and rich¬ 
ness to the Midsummer border.’*
