PHLOX DECUSSATA— Hordy Phlox 
These beautiful hardy border plants are the most ef¬ 
fective and useful-plants in the garden during the late 
summer and early fall. Their brilliant colors are loved 
by all. The great many varieties now offered are quite 
likely to be confusing, we have, therefore, discontinued 
growing any but the better and newest varieties noted 
for their clear colors, freedom of bloom, and strong 
habit. 
Africa Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00

flower heads composed of large florets, flood strong 
stem and not subject to mildew. 
Antonin Mercier Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
A delicate lilac-blue; free-flowering variety of medium 
height and fairly free from red spider. During pro¬ 
longed hot weather the color fades to a very pale lilac; 
in light shade, however, the coloring is constant.

lent variety and one of the best of this color. 
Caroline Vandenbnrg Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00

shades peculiar to this section. Large, individual flow¬ 
ers. 
Commander Three $1.10, Doz. $3.25, 100 $22.50 
(Von Hindenberg). The color is a brilliant deep crim¬ 
son-red with slightly darker eye. Grows about 24 to 
30 inches high and produces a great many spikes cre¬ 
ating a wonderful display of color. 
Count Zeppelin Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
(Graf Zeppelin!. Pure white flowers with vermilion- 
red eye. A striking clean looking Phlox. There is no

the so-called calico types. Very free-flowering. 
Dally Sketch Three $1.60, Doz. $4.50, 100 $35.00

ous in growth and reaches a height of about 3 feet.

crimson eye. A splendid and worthwhile English 
novelty. 
Elizabeth Campbell Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00

rich green, glossy foliage. 
Ethel Pritchard Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00,100 $20.00 
A delightfully French-mauve colored Phlox, which, if 
seen on a cloudy day, looks almost as pale blue as our 
native Phlox Divaricata. It is a strong grower. 
Europa Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
White changing to a pale blush white toward center

vermilion. Flowers very freely and blooms are pro¬ 
duced in quantity throughout the entire season. Of 
medium height. 
Jules Sandeau Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00. 100 $20.00 
Rather dwarf in habit, but producing very large heads 
of brilliant watermelon-pink blossoms. An outstanding 
variety because it flowers more freely and longer than 
most Phlox, and is practically free from red spider 
Culture. To grow Phlox really well the soil should be 
well drained, deeply spaded, and enriched with rotted 
manure or bonemeal. Planting may be done in fall or 
spring in a sunny border. Set the plants 10 inches 
apart. Lift and divide every three or four years or 
they will become crowded, which results in poor, small 
flowers. Never let the plants go to seed, never water 
overhead, always keep blooms and foliage dry, letting 
hose run slowly on the ground, this method of watering 
prevents mildew. 
Leo Schlageter Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
Seldom has one seen a shade of red such as is produced 
by this fine new Phlox. Its brilliant scarlet blooms 
seem to glow with Are. This impression is heightened 
by the fact that there seems to be a decided orange 
cast to the blooms: Of splendid habit, about 3 feet 
high with full rich heads of bloom: early. The best 
red Phlox in existence today. 
Mia Ruys . Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Rather dwarf in habit, but produces enormous and 
much branched trusses of the purest white flowers pos¬ 
sible. The habit is very free, with splendid dark green 
foliage. A great improvement and the best white Phlox 
in cultivation for midseason effects. 
Miss Lingard Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Has beautiful, long, shiny green foliage and is abso¬ 
lutely free from any disease. It flowers from early 
June until October with large heads of white flowers

White Phlox known. 
Miss Verboom Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50. 100 $25.00
