(Phlox Columbia 
A WAYSIDE GARDENS PRODUCTION 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 118 
After growing this variety you will 
agree with every person that has seen it 
that it is the greatest Phlox ever intro¬ 
duced. Its strength and vigor is some¬ 
thing rarely seen in plants. A well 
grown two year old plant will produce 
from six to fifteen flower spikes. The 
foliage is rich dark green, leaves cover¬ 
ing the stems down to the ground. Mil¬ 
dew is unknown to this variety. The 
flower stalks are about two and one-half 
feet high, stiff and erect. The flowers 
when cut last over a week in water. 
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 recall¬ 
ing 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 two 
or two and a half 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 sum¬ 
mer. Altogether an amazingly good addition 
to the list of plants which give color and rich¬ 
ness to the midsummer border.”
