PHLOX 
T HIS late summer and fall-blooming perennial is indispensable for mass 
effects of brilliant color in the garden. No other perennial extends its 
bloom over a longer period, especially if the old flowers are clipped off so 
that the plants will continue blooming. Certain varieties can be combined very 
effectively, and attractive combinations of Phlox with other perennials can be 
arranged as suggested in the descriptions below. Care should be taken that Phlox 
is not allowed to form seed, as the self-sown seedlings often come up in the center 
of the clumps, eventually choking out the original plants, and the seedlings are 
often of poor color. r 
All varieties not priced differently are 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $16 per 100. 
Varieties priced at 30 cts. each are $2.50 for 10; those at 35 cts. each are 
$3.00 for 10; those at 40 cts. each are $3.50 for 10; those at 50 cts. each are 
$4 for 10.

more attention than any other in our nursery.

variety we have yet found. 35 ets. each.

Le Mahdi. This is blue-purple in cloudy 
weather and in morning or evening light, but 
in bright sunlight it is red-purple. We recom¬ 
mend planting it in light shade.

clear scarlet flowers with darker eye. A stun¬ 
ning color but like all other varieties of this 
shade the growth is not so vigorous as in the 
pink and white varieties. 35 cts. each.

similar to the older Antonin Mercie.

earliest of the tall Phlox. Blooms over a long 
period. One of the best varieties for landscape. 
Plant with Delphinium.

after Miss Lingard. This is about the best 
white variety.

similar to Ruth May but earlier.

best varieties.

ilar to Le Mahdi, but more red. ,
