Phlox AUGUSTA 
Phlox COLUMBIA 
—the finest light pink 
phlox ever introduced 
(Plant Patent No. 118) 
The color suggests a delicate cameo-pink 
with faint blue shading at center. The effect 
created by a well grown plant is exquisite and 
never before seen in Phlox. 
The clearness of tone is remarkable, the 
brilliancy is so pronounced that immediate at¬ 
tention is given to this wonderful plant. As 
the flower ages, the blooms always retain their 
delicate pink shade; there never are any 
magenta tones visible. 
Out of each leaf joint grows a lateral or 
secondary flower spike continuing the display 
of blooms long after the main flower head has 
disappeared. Columbia is therefore well called 
the "perpetual flowering" Phlox. 
Of great importance is the habit of Phlox 
Columbia, its strength and vigor is something 
rarely seen in plants. A well grown, two-year 
plant will produce from 5 to 1 5 flower spikes. 
—the finest cherry - red 
phlox ever introduced 
(Plant Patent No. 252) 
A strong growing plant of medium height, 
about 2Vz feet when fully grown, with rich 
bronzy green foliage and stem. Color is best 
described as a brilliant cherry-red, not quite 
as deep as Beacon and much more intense and 
sparkling. The young florets at opening show 
a decided amount of orange. Unlike most 
Phlox of this color, it does not discolor or 
bleach in the sun. The color remains perfect 
under all weather conditions. Augusta is a 
beautiful vivid colored variety of exceptional 
growth and qualities and will eventually re¬ 
place all other varieties of similar shade. 
Note the moderate prices!
