appreciation of your care in the increased size and 
beauty of their spikes and flowers. If properly wat¬ 
ered they may be induced to grow in almost any soil. 
They are as hardy as they 
are beautiful. They are 
equally attractive when 
arranged in beds with 
ample spacing or when 
planted separately at 
some distance apart. 
Flower-lovers have made 
some delightfully artistic 
garden effects 
by combining 
them with An¬

or Miss Lingard 
Phlox. If the 
spikes which 
have finished 
flowering are 
cut off early, 
fresh growth is 
produced. We 
offer numerous 
varieties of these 
improved, care¬ 
fully cultured 
hybrids. They 
are the latest 
and finest speci¬
