Hardy Garden Phlox 
Pew plants in the garden make so effective a showing as Garden 
Phlox. Taking my cue from this fact, I have for some years given a 
part of my attention to their improvement by scientific breeding. 
The result has been larger size, fragrance and clearness of colors. 
This last feature to me is the most valuable of all, for the reason that 
the mass effect appeals mainly in a garden flower. Recent successful 
introductions are Colorado, Osceola, Robin Hood, Silverton, Snowcap 
and Tanager. Each one is a gem in its color class, because of medium 
height, vigorous growth, large size and long blooming season. 
Owing to a season or two, unfavorable to propagation, three later 
\arieties, Cinderella, Loraine and King Lear cannot be offered this 
spring. They will be announced in the catalogue just as soon as new 
stock is available. 
Recent Rockmont Introductions that have become favorites in many 
gardens for their clear colors and profusion of bloom are described
