(Phlox CDecussata - (HarDy (Phlox 
These beautiful hardy border plants are the most effective and useful 
plants in the garden during the late summer and early fall. Their bril¬ 
liant colors are loved by all. The great many varieties now offered are 
quite likely to be confusing; we have, therefore, discontinued growing 
any but the better and newest varieties noted for their clear colors, 
freedom of bloom, and strong habit. 
Culture. To grow Phlox really well the soil should be well drained, deep¬ 
ly spaded, and enriched with rotted manure or bone meal. Planting may 
be done in fall or spring in a sunny border. Set the plants 10 inches 
apart. Lift and divide every three or four years or they will become 
crowded, which results in poor, small flowers. Never let the plants go 
to seed, never water overhead, always keep blooms and foliage dry, 
letting hose run slowly on the ground, this method of watering prevents 
mildew. 
Africa Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00

posed of large florets. Good strong stem and not subject to mildew. 
Antonin Mereier Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00

B. Comte Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
Tall growing variety producing large heads of rich satiny amaranth 
flowers. Very brilliant. Looks well planted close to a yellow-flowered 
plant. 
Border Queen Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
A dwarf pink, strong growing variety. Excellently suited for in front of 
the border or Phlox planting. Flower heads are large and round. Indi¬ 
vidual florets are larger than usual. Color is a clear deep watermelon 
rose-pink. 
Caroline Vandenburg Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00

and rugged in growth and about 31/2 feet high.

strong grower.

spider. 
Leo Schlageter Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Seldom has one seen a shade of red such as is produced by this fine 
new Phlox. Its brilliant scarlet blooms seem to glow with fire. This 
impression is heightened by the fact that there seems to be a decided 
orange cast to the blooms. Of splendid habit, about 3 feet high with 
full rich heads of bloom; early. The best red Phlox in existence today.
