Phlox Divaricata Canadensis 
Bed of Perennial Phlox 
One of our native varieties that is but rarely met 
with, and which has been introduced in Europe the past 
few years as a novelty. A plant that is certain to meet 
with much favor when better known, as nothing can 
produce such a cheerful corner in the garden in very 
early spring. Frequently beginning to bloom early in 
April, it continues until about the middle of dune, 
with large bright lilac-colored flowers, which are pro¬ 
duced on stems about 10 inches high, in large showy 
heads, and are very fragrant. Extremely fine for 
naturalizing in the woods and shady places. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz., $0 per 100.

Perennial Phloxes 
Phlox Carolina 
A story goes with the procuring stock of this rather rare and beauti- 
tiful native Phlox. I was on my way to my office one April morn¬ 
ing, when 1 saw on a neighbor’s lawn great masses of the lovely blue 
bloom of this Phlox, of which I had long wished to secure some 
plants. I walked into the grounds intending to ask for some, and 
was met by a very pompous-looking gardener, whose manner irri¬ 
tated me so that instead of asking for the plants I asked the name 
of them. "That,” said the gardener, "is the ‘ Miller B. 
Florer,’ or ‘Star of Oregon,’ a rare native plant, that 
can only be obtained in one small district in Oregon.” 
"That’s the name, is it ?” I replied. "Now, do you 
know what you are ? You are an unmitigated old hum¬ 
bug and a disgrace to a very respectable profession." 
With this I went to my office and wrote to my neighbor 
for some plants, which were promptly sent. This Phlox 
is a lovely dwarf plant, covered with bright blue flowers 
for about a month, in April and May. Price, 20 cts. 
each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100.
