THE. NEW HARDY PHLOX 
COLUMBIA This Patented° X * 
The greatest Phlox ever introduced. 
The color suggests a rich cameo pink with faint blue eye. The 
color effect created by a well grown plant is exquisite and never 
before seen in Phlox. 
The clearness of tone is remarkable, the brilliancy is so pronounced 
that immediate attention is given to this wonderful plant. The 
blooms do not fade or lose any of their rich pink tone as the flower 
ages; there never are any so-called purple tones visible. 
. Out of the leaf joints grow numerous laterals which continue the 
display of blooms long after the main flowerhead has disappeared. 
Several weeks longer blooming than is the case with other Phlox 
is the result. Price, 50c each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid.
