ations, and blooms profusely.

VARIOUS PHLOX SPECIES 
*Amoena Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
This is one of the best varieties for carpeting the ground, the 
rockery or the border. It grows but 4 inches high and in the 
spring is a sheet of rich bright pink flowers. 
*Divaricata canadensis Three $0.65, Doz. $1.70, 100 $12.00 
One of our native species, which is worthy of extensive plant¬ 
ing, commencing to bloom early in April, and continuing 
through May, with large, fragrant, lavender flowers on stems 
10 inches high. In spring this plant is sold in pots to insure 
best results; in fall field-grown plants are best to use. 
*Ovata Three $0.65, Doz. $1.70, 100 $12.00 
(Carolina). Bright rosy red flowers in great quantities on 12- 
inch stems during June and July; good for the rockery. 
*Arendsi, Louise Three $1.35, Doz. $3.75, 100 $27.50 
Phlox Arendsi are a result from crossing Phlox Divaricata 
and Phlox Paniculata. The most remarkable result is that 
they flower from early spring until late in the autumn. There 
are several varieties all more or less alike. Louise, offered 
here, is a bright lilac with lilac-carmine eye. About 20 inches 
high, suited for front of the border in light shade or sun.

A Wayside Gardens introduction of such outstanding 
beauty and virtues that the U. S. government gave us a

growers of this Phlox in this country but have arranged for 
its distribution through other responsible American firms.

a true lavender-blue without the magenta shades peculiar to 
this section. Large individual flowers.

(Von Hindenburg). The color is a brilliant deep crimson-red

play of color. This variety is comparatively new but already 
a great favorite.
