The flowers of the Japan Iris are of the richest colors, ranging from white to

PERENNIAL PHLOX 
Our friends who remember the old-fashioned Perennial Phlox of our grand¬ 
mother’s garden would hardly recognize the beautiful varieties grown to-day as 
bearing any resemblance to them. The improvement has been truly wonder¬ 
ful. Instead of the small, dull-hued flowers of olden times, we now have 
immense trusses, all brigh and showy, the individual flowers three times the 
size of the old varieties, and the colors ranging from purest white to violet. With 
Perennial Phlox a show of brilliant flowers can be had from June until Novem¬ 
ber, as they are perpetual bloomers. Perfectly hardy.
