PHLOX DECUSSATA. Hardy Phlox. 
These beautiful hardy border plants are among the very best known for mid-summer effects, es¬ 
pecially in bold plantings. The flowers are in many shades of both self and brilliant colors, 
so that by selecting colors they will blend with any plant. They can be planted to good advan¬ 
tage in open shrubbery or in front of tall shrubs. 
Culture: If in a cool climate, they like the full sun; in the hot climate, light shade in the 
heat of the afternoon is advisable. They do best of all in a well-worked garden loam, with a 
sandy clay or even fairly gravelous, with a liberal dressing of well rotted manure worked in. 
Lift and divide every three years or they will become crowded which will result in poor small 
flowers. Never let the plants go to seed, by cutting off the faded flowers. This will, induce 
the plant to bloom again. *11 Phlox are suppliffd in large field grown clumps. 
Antonin Mercier. 
A delicate lilac-blue; free flowering 
variety of medium height, and fairly free 
from red spider. During prolonged hot 
weather the color fades to a very pale 
lilac; in light shade, however, the color¬ 
ing is constant.

of rich satiny amaranth flowers. Very 
brilliant. Looks well planted close to a 
yellow-flowered plant.

variety and one of the best of this color.

Miss Lingard. 
This variety is not a Decussata type like all the others in the list, but a Fuffruticosa. The 
distinguishing marks are that it flowers a month earlier than the Decussata sorts. Has beauti¬ 
ful, long, shiny green foliage, and is absolutely free from any disease. It flowers from early 
June until October with large heads of white flowers with faint pink shadings in center. It is 
the early Vhite Phlox known. 
Miss Verboom. 
ke consider this one of the best new Phlox recently introduced. Its greatest contribution is 
its early flowering; is absolutely free from red spider. This in fact is the rose pink form 
of Miss Lingard. Habit and foliage are the same; flowers just as early in June. Fplendid 
when planted next to Poppy. Mrs. Perry and Hemerocallis Flava.
