Hardy Phlox 
The Hardy Phlox, with its great heads of brilliant color, is the Keystone of the summer garden. Thriving in 
any garden soil, all they ask is plenty of water and an occasional dusting with sulphur to keep their foliage clean, 
and they will repay you with masses of fragrant flowers over a very long period. Great advances have been 
made in Phlox during the past few years, and some of the newer varieties will surprise you by the size of the in¬ 
dividual florets and the new colorings. 
Fall is the best time to plant and there should be at least 3 plants of a variety to make a creditable showing. 
All Phlox, except where noted, 85 cts. for 3 of one kind, $2.30 for 10 of one kind, $20 per 100

Peonies 
There are many reasons why Peonies deserve the high place they have among garden plants, i hey are 
extra hardy and after the toughest of winters the herbaceous types never fail to push their jjink shoot.-; through 
the ground at their appointed time. As large as a small shrub, and with attractive, healthy foliage, the plants 
are good to look at both before and after bloom. About all they ask is good, rich loamy soil and an annual to|>- 
dressing of boncmeal or thoroughly decayed manure. 
The 13. & A. Collection of Peonies is a large one. We have a number of varieties in too small quantities to 
list, so if you require any variety not listed here, write
