TULIPS AND PHLOX SUBULATA 
CREEPING PHLOXES ORIENTAL POPPIES 
The Creeping Phloxes are among the most charming of hardy 
plants. They cover the ground with a mat of evergreen foliage at 
all times, and during the month of May make the most beautiful car¬ 
pet of white, purple or pink dowers. The bloom is so dense that the 
foliage is entirely hidden. These Phloxes bloom again in the fall, 
but not so freely. They are very useful for border edging, rockwork 
or covering bare banks, and for covering graves. Planted in large 
masses nothing can be more effective.

PLATYCODON 
Mariesi. A valuable dwarf variety, bearing blue bell-shaped dowers, 
nearly 3 inches across, for a long season in late summer and early 
autumn. One of the finest of border plants. The unopened buds 
are nearly as beautiful as the flowers themselves, and are particu¬ 
larly interesting in their peculiar shape. Extremely effective when 
planted in groups. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Mariesi nana. The Platycodon or Wahlenbergia has been for many 
years one of the most popular hardy plants, and deservedly so. 
This new variety is a decided improvement, as the plants are 
dwarfer and more compact, and never fall over. Beautiful white 
or blue bell-shaped flowers produced in the greatest profusion. 
This new plant is to be highly commended. Price of either the 
white or blue variety, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
I remember very well the first time 1 saw an Oriental Poppy. I 
was a boy then, and it excited me wonderfully, and 1 thought it the 
most remarkable flower in the world; and now, after twenty-five years 
have gone by and 1 have seen almost ail the known flowers of the 
world, I am still of the opinion that it. is mighty fine, striking and 
effective, and 1 have taken the trouble to gather up and have grown 
a collection of several varieties. The foliage of Oriental Poppies 
dies away in the summer and many think they are dead, but they will 
start into growth again in the fall. They are rather hard to estab¬ 
lish, but, once established, prove the most persistent perennial.
