piflox nrlinjnjoitdi. 
One of the very best of all bedding annuals is the Phlox 
Druinmondi. surpassing almost everything else in dazzling 
brilliancy. We may well be proud of this distinctively 
American flower, for it is extremely beautiful, neat in 
growth and an extraordinary bloomer. The newer sorts of 
Phlox are so far ahead of the older varieties that we have 
discarded all the latter, and offer none but those beautiful 
new ones of recent, introduction. The Phlox make beautiful 
ribbon beds when different, colors are sown side by side, and 
are also grand for masses of solid color. Per pkt. 
Mixed. Fifty different colors. Fine for large beds and 
masses. Peroz., $1.00. 10 
Cocci nea. A rich, velvety scarlet. o 
Fancy Striped. Many distinct colors, all striped white 5 
Crovcr Cleveland. A grand bedding sort, large, pure 
white flowers, with radiant crimson centers. 5 
Rosea Alba Oculata. A clear, deep rose, with large. 
pure white eye. A charming color. 5 
Violet Alba Oculata. A rich shade of violet, with 
large white center..... ■’> 
Yellow. Good for contrast, not as brilliant in color as 
the scarlet and crimson varieties. 5 
Alba. Large, pure white, without markings of any kind 5 
Stellata. of the most dazzling, deepest scarlet, with a 
contrasting eve of the snowiest white. This is a won¬ 
derfully brilliant bedder, giving a blaze of color that 
can be seen a long wav. 10 
Nana Compacta. Small growing, very compact vari¬ 
eties in many brilliant colors. They attain a height 
of only six inches and make a very brilliant carpet.. 10 
Double White. The strain here offered is most excel¬ 
lent, and a large per cent, of the plants will produce 
fine double flowers in great clusters and as white as 
snow... 10 
Double Yellow. Like the above, but of a good yellow ^ 
Childs’ Star. Nothing else in the Phlox line has ever 
created such a sensation as the unique German 
strains of Fimbriata, Cuspidate, and Star of 
Quedlinburg, when introduced a few years ago. 
Their large size, and their curiously pointed, 
I fringed and toothed blooms—utterly unlike any¬ 
thing else-■-took the floral world by storm. We 
have hybridized all these together and secured a 
unique strain of a hundred colors and every conceivable 
shape. 10 
CHILDS' JUBILEE PHLOXES. 
This strain of Phlox is as superior to other Phlox of 
regular outline as our new Star Phlox 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, 
vsxin deep rose, soft pink, pale blush, maroon black, 
rikmjK lavender purple, 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 pro¬ 
fusion. making them unrivalled for bedding. They are of 
dwarf, stout, branching habit, always standing erect, and 
the individual flowers the size of a twenty-dollar gold piece. 
The grandest of ail Phloxes . 15
