Beautiful , fragrant Phlox , backbone of the summer garden 
Hardy Phlox, Tigress 
Michell’s Superb 
Columbia. Plant Patent No. 118. Greatest 
Phlox ever introduced. Its color suggests a 
rich cameo-pink with faint blue eye. The 
color effect created by a well-grown plant 
is exquisite and has never before been seen 
in a Phlox. Blooms do not fade or lose any 
of their rich pink tone as the flower ages; 
there never are any so-called purple tones 
visible. Out of the leaf-joints grow num¬ 
erous laterals which continue the display 
of bloom long after the main flower-head 
has disappeared. A well-grown two-year 
plant will produce from 6 to 15 flower- 
spikes, each about 2J^ feet high, stiff and 
erect. See color plate opposite page 89. 
35c. each; doz. $3.00; $20.00 per 100. 
Count Zeppelin. Very large white flowers 
with deep crimson eye. An improvement 
on Europa. A strong grower with no 
fading or sufTusion of the- colors. The best 
of the calico type. 
Daily Sketch. Extra-large trusses and indi¬ 
vidual flowers of light salmon-pink, with 
very faint carmine eyes. An outstanding 
variety.

salmon-red blooms. A bright Phlox for the

New Hardy Phlox 
Leo Schlageter. One of the very best red 
Phloxes. Strong, healthy grower, with 
well-branched, pyramidal clusters of large 
individual bright carmine-scarlet flowers, 
with slightly darker centers. Resistant to 
rain and heat. 
Morgenrood. A very distinct variety, pro¬ 
ducing large clusters of bright rose flowers 
with a deeper eye. Strong grower. 2% to 
3 ft. 
Tigress. The outstanding Phlox novelty. 
Vigorous, upright-growing, with immense 
trusses of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers. 
The huge pyramids of bloom are built up

usually long period of bloom. These enor¬ 
mous trusses of brilliant orange-scarlet 
have long been sought by Phlox enthu¬ 
siasts.

mous, soft apple-blossom-pink flowers, 
with darker centers. Grows compact and 
retains its color all through the summer
