Childs’ Jubilee —This strain of Phlox Drammondi is as 
superior to other Phloxes of regular outline as our new 
Star Phloxes are to the ordinary strains of Fimbriata 
Phlox. The flowers of Childs’ Jubilee Phlox are of great 
substance, beautiful form and uncommon size, while 
the colors are extraordinarily rich and varied, glowing 
crimson, dazzling scarlet, deep rose, soft pink, pale 
blush, maroon-black, lavender-purple, pure white, and 
numberless other rare shades, many with contrasting 
eyes, stripes or featherings. In habit these new Phloxes 
are erect rather than procumbent, and bear their 
velvety blossoms in great profusion, making them un¬ 
rivalled for bedding. They are of dwarf, stout, branch¬ 
ing habit, always standing erect, and the individual 
flowers are the size of a 1 wcnty-doliar gold coin. The 
grandest of all Phloxes of any type yet known to culti¬ 
vation. They are superior even to the grand Perennial 
Phloxes, which are so very beautiful.10 
Childs’ Star—Nothing else in the Phlox line has ever 
created such a sensation as the unique German strains 
of Fimbriata Cuspid at a and Star of Quedlinburg, when 
introduced a few years ago. Their large size and their 
curiously pointed, fringed and toothed blooms—utterly 
unlike anything else—took the floral world by storm. 
Unfortunately these flowers were muddy and indistinct 
in coloring. This we undertook to remedy by hydrid- 
ization between the new incised sorts and the old 
brilliant sorts of regular form, and we are more than 
satisfied with our success. We ha ve succeeded in re¬ 
taining the much admired forms of the German strains 
while "the colors of our improved hybrids are of every 
conceivable shade, more that a hundred distinct tints, 
shades, colors and combinations having been counted 
among them. Scarcely two plants can be found of the 
same shape and color. If you want something odd, 
new and striking,, try Childs’ Star Phlox.10 
SPECIAL OPPpR.—For only 75c. we will send one packet 
each of these fifteen finest Phloxes.
