Hardy Perennial Plants 
PHLOX DECUSSATA 
Hardy Phlox 
These beautiful hardy border plants are among the very best 
plants for bold midsummer effects. The flowers are in many 
shades of both self and brilliant colors, so that by selecting colors 
they will blend with any planting. They can be used to good 
advantage in open shrubbery or in front of tall shrubs. If in a 
cool climate, they like the full sun; in a hot climate, light shade 
in the heat of the afternoon is advisable. Phlox grow best in a 
well-worked garden loam, with a sandy clay or in light gravel, 
and 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. Cut off the faded flowers, which 
induces the plants to bloom again. All Phlox are supplied in large 
field-grown clumps.

B. Comte. Tall-growing, producing large heads of brilliant satiny 
amaranth flowers. Looks well with a yellow-flowered plant. 
Beacon. Brilliant cherry-red. The flower-heads are carried on 
straight, strong stems. An excellent variety. 3 ft. 
Bridesmaid. Pure white with large crimson-carmine eye. 
COLUMBIA. Plant Patent No. 118. By far the finest light pink 
Phlox ever introduced. The color is a delicate cameo-pink with 
a faint blue shade at the center. Even when the flower ages 
the blooms retain the delicate pink shade without any purple 
tones. A well-grown, 2-year plant will produce from 6 to 15 
flower spikes, which are about 2 1 2 feet high, stiff and erect. 
The blooms last over a week after cutting. Strong plants, 
50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25; $4 per doz. 
Count Zeppelin. Pure white with a vermilion eye. The color 
does not fade or blend. Free flowering. 2 Yi ft. 35 cts. each; 
3 for $1; $3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50. 
Eclaireur. Rose-pink. Very fine. Tall. 
Elizabeth Campbell. Light salmon-pink with lighter shadings 
toward the center of flower. Decidedly the finest Phlox of 
this color.

Elizabeth Campbell in color. Strong growth. Rich green, 
glossy foliage. 
Europa. Snow-white with a deep, clear-cut carmine eye.

almost vermilion. Flowers freely and continuously throughout 
the entire season. Of medium height. 35 cts. each; 3 for $1; |

flowering, and a rapid grower. July, August. 
Karl Foerster. Vivid orange-scarlet with crimson eye. Very 
showy. 35 cts. each; 3 for $1; $3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50. 
Miss Lingard. This is not a Decussata type, like all the others 
in the list, but a Suffruticosa. The distinguishing marks are 
that it flowers a month earlier than the Decussata sorts, has 
beautiful, long, shiny green foliage, and is absolutely free from 
disease. It blooms from early June until October, with large 
heads of white flowers having faint pink shadings in center. 
Miss Verboom. We consider this one of the best new Phloxes. 
It is the rose-pink form of Miss Lingard. Habit and foliage are 
the same; flowers just as early in June. 
Morgenrood. Deep rose-red. Free flowering. Medium height. 
35 cts. each; 3 for $1; $3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50. 
Mrs. Jenkins (Independence). Pure white. Late flowering. A 
fine sort for planting in masses. Few varieties equal its free- 
flowering habit. Free from disease and always dependable. 
Mrs. Milly van Hoboken. Bright pink with a slight and delicate 
mauve suffusion. Large florets combined in rather loose, large 
heads. Strong grower and free flowering. 35 cts. each; 3 for $1; 
$3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50. 
Hardy Phlox 
Rijnstroom. A good, strong grower, producing an abundance of 
stems, each one topped with heavy trusses of lively rose-pink 
flowers. 
Riverton Jewel. Deep rose-pink with red eye. Large, compact 
trusses. Distinct and fine. Rather late bloomer. 
Rokoko. Soft clear pink color that holds under sun and in moist 
weather. 35 cts. each; 3 for $1; $3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50. 
Thor. 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 Hochberg. Dark red. 
Widar. Deep violet-blue with pure white eye. Medium height. 
Midseason. 
Phlox subulata • Mountain Pink 
A dwarf type, flowering in April and May. The moss-like 
foliage is usually evergreen, forming a dense mass, growing 1 foot 
or more in diameter. Of great value for carpeting the ground and 
for the rock-garden. Dwarf Phlox must be grown in full sun as 
they are not satisfactory when grown in the shade. The soil 
should be rather dry and sandy, and not too rich. Plants should 
be dug, divided, and replanted every two or three years, to pre¬ 
vent them from deteriorating and getting weedy. 
*Alba. (SL) Pure white flowers completely cover the neat, com¬ 
pact plant in May. 
*Atropurpurea. (SL) A strong grower and can be distinguished 
by its deep red blooms which are entirely different from any 
other Subulata type. 
*Fairy. (SL) Pale blue with dark purple eye. Slow-growing; 
neat in habit. 
*Lilacina. (SL) A strong-growing variety, suitable for bold 
masses in the rockery. Pale blue flowers in May. Has very 
good winter foliage. 
*Rosea. (SL) Rose-pink. Fine for covering banks. Thrives in 
hot, dry situations and blooms profusely. 
*Vivid. (L) Bright pink with dark pink eye. Plant is dwarf and 
compact growing. One of the loveliest dwarf Phlox known. 
*G. F. Wilson. (SL) Soft lavender flowers in early spring and a 
scattering of blooms in the late fall. 
Phlox Species 
*Amcena. (L) One of the best varieties for carpeting the ground, 
the rockery, or the border. It grows about 6 inches high, and 
in the spring is a sheet of rich bright pink flowers. 
*Divaricata (canadensis). (L) One of our native species, com¬ 
mencing to bloom early in April and continuing through May, 
with large, fragrant, lavender flowers on stems 10 inches high. 
Best grown in open woods or a shady, moist place in the 
rockery.
