PHLOX DECUSSATA—Continued. 
Beacon Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
Brilliant cherry-red. Grows 36 inches high. The flower heads 
are carried on straight, strong stems. An excellent variety 
and one of the best of this color. 
Caroline Vandenburg Three $0.85, Doz. $2.70, 100 $18.00 
This Phlox is the most attractive of the lavender shades; it is 
a true lavender-blue without the magenta shades peculiar to 
this section. Large individual flowers. 
Commander Three $0.65, Doz. $2.00, 100 $12.00 
(Von Hindenburg). The color is a brilliant deep crimson-red 
with slightly darker eye. Grows about 24 to 30 inches high 
and produces a great many spikes creating a wonderful dis¬ 
play of color. This variety is comparatively new but already 
a great favorite. 
PHLOX 
Count Zeppelin Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
(Graf Zeppelin). Pure white flowers with vermilion-red eye. 
A striking, clean looking Phlox. There is no fading or suffus¬ 
ing of color. Considered the best of the so-called calico types. 
Very free-flowering, and a good grower. The plants reach a 
height of about 30 inches. 
Daily Sketch Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
This variety possesses compelling beauty. It is vigorous in 
growth and reaches a height of about 3 feet. The flower 
trusses are enormous and the individual florets are extra large. 
Color, salmon-pink with vivid crimson eye. A splendid and 
worth-while English novelty. 
Elizabeth Campbell Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Light salmon-pink with lighter shadings toward the center of 
flower. Decidedly the finest Phlox of this color, but unfor¬ 
tunately, a weak variety and slow grower, requiring more 
care and attention than most varieties. 
Enchantress Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
Bright salmon-pink with dark eye, resembling Elizabeth Camp¬ 
bell in rich green, glossy foliage. 
Ethel Pritchard Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
A delightfully French-mauve colored Phlox, which, if seen on 
a cloudy day, looks almost as pale blue as our native Phlox 
Divaricata. It is a strong grower, flowers freely and should 
be planted with white or yellow flowers to look its best. Fairly 
tall grower. 
Enropa Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
White changing to a pale blush-white toward center with a 
red eye. This variety is similar to Count Zeppelin but has a 
light pinkish cast to it. Produces large heads freely and is a 
good, strong grower of medium height. 
Evelyn Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
A new variety of excellent habit. Flower heads are full and 
large. Color is a rich salmon-rose; about 3 feet high. 
Puerbrand Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
(Fireglow). Brilliant orange-scarlet. Sometimes almost ver¬ 
milion. Flowers very freely and blooms are produced in quan¬ 
tity throughout the entire season. Of medium height, and one 
of the most brilliant Phlox known. 
Jules Sandeau Three $0,65, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
Rather dwarf in habit, but producing very large heads of bril¬ 
liant watermelon-pink blossoms. An outstanding variety be¬ 
cause it flowers more freely and longer than most Phlox, and 
is practically free from red spider. We consider it the best 
of its color. 
Leo Schlageter Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
Seldom has one seen a shade of red such as is produced by 
this fine new Phlox. Its brilliant scarlet blooms seem to glow 
with fire. This impression is heightened by the fact that there 
seem3 to be a decided orange cast to the blooms. Of splendid 
habit, about 3 feet high with full rich heads of bloom early. 
The best red Phlox in existence today. 
Mia Ruys Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Rather dwarf in habit, but produces enormous and much 
branched trusses of the purest white flowers possible. The 
habit is very free with splendid dark green foliage. A great 
improvement and the best white Phlox in cultivation for 
midseason effects. 
Miss Lingard Three $0.65, Doz. $2.00, 100 $12.00 
This variety is not a Decussata type like all the others in the 
list, but a Suftruticosa. The distinguishing marks are that it 
flowers a month earlier than the Decussata sorts. Has beau¬ 
tiful, 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 cen¬ 
ter. It is the best early white Phlox known. 
Miss Verboom Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
We consider this one of the best new Phlox. Its greatest con¬ 
tribution is its early flowering. This in fact, is the rose form 
of Miss Lingard. Habit and foliage are the same; flowers 
early in June. 
Mrs. Jenkins Three $0.40, Doz. $1.00, 100 $7.00 
(Independence). Pure white; late flowering; grows very fast 
and is of medium height. A splendid sort for planting in 
masses. Few varieties equal its free-flowering habit. Free 
from any disease and can always be depended on. An old sort 
but worth while. 
PEL O X—Continue d. 
Mrs. Mllly Van Hoboken Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
An excellent new variety. Very large florets combined in rather 
loose, large heads. Color bright pink with a slight and delicate

medium height. 
Mrs. W. Van Beuningen Three $0.85, Doz. $2.70, 100 $18.00 
Medium height but robust in growth, with healthy appearing 
foliage. Largs, rich salmon-red flowers—a bright, effective 
self color without eye. Very free and persistent in flowering. 
Compact growth. 
Rheinlander Three $0.50, Doz. $1.25, 100 $8.00 
A splendid old-time variety of good growing quality, and ex¬ 
cellent habit. Flower heads are large and on good strong 
stems. The color is a beautiful salmon-pink. 
Rijnstroom Three $0.50, Doz. $1.25, 100 $8.00 
A good strong grower producing an abundance of stems, each 
one topped with heavy trusses of flowers of a lively rose-pink, 
much like the color of the Paul Neyron rose. 
Saladin Three $0.65, Doz. $2.00, 100 $12.00 
A most brilliant scarlet-red with blood-red eye, makes this 
one of the most outstanding varieties. It is a strong grower, 
blooms freely, has good foliage; all in all a worth-while addi¬ 
tion to any collection of plants. 
Thor Three $0.55, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
.sot a new sort but becoming more and more popular because 
of its splendid free-flowering qualities. Color a beautiful 
shade of deep salmon-pink, overlaid with a scarlet glow; small 
aniline-red eye. A good grower, never giving trouble, always 
full of bloom. One of the best of the salmon-pink sorts. 
Von Lassburg Three $0.50, Doz. $1.25; 100 $8.00 
A splendid, midseason, tall, white variety. Trusses large and 
stems good, very free flowering. Rather tall, fine for the back 
of the border.

unusual effect. Of medium height and good habit. 
PHYGELIUS - Cape Figwort 
*Capensls Three. $1.10, Doz. $3.25, 100 $22.50 
(Cape Fuchsia). This is a hardy Fuchsia. It endures hot, dry 
weather well. The plants are perfectly hardy as far north as 
Philadelphia, but require protection further north where they 
will act much the same as Buddleia, producing new shoots 
each summer which bear purple flowers all summer until frost. 
A splendid plant for the South or hot, dry states.
