Phlox Columbia 
A WAYSIDE GARDENS PRODUCTION 
U. S. PLANT PATENT No. 118 
A FTER growing this variety you will agree with every person that has seen it, that it is 
Q/l the greatest Phlox ever introduced. Its strength and vigor is something 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 covering the stems down to the ground. Mildew is 
unknown to this variety. The flower stalks are about 2/i feet high, stiff and erect. The 
flowers, when cut, last over a week in water. 
(f^7"RS. FRANCIS KING, America’s great garden authority, writes of this Phlox as fob 
C Ls 0 L lows: “Columbia, the new cameo-pink Phlox which has just risen on the garden hor¬ 
izon is of most exquisite beauty. A soft pink recalling that of Elisabeth 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 2 or 2/z 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 summer. Altogether, 
an amazingly good addition to the list of plants which give color and richness to the mid¬ 
summer border.’’
