Phlo.x Augusta 
Phlox Columbia 
New Phlox, Augusta 
(Plant Patent No. 252) 
Plant breeders, yielding to the insistent clamorous 
demand for a cherry-red Phlox, have somewhat pre¬ 
maturely developed several. All of them, however, 
have had one grave fault: namely, the flowers would 
bleach and discolor in the sun. The new Augusta 
is not only the most brilliant, the most intense, and 
most sparkling cherry-red Phlox in existence, but 
the color remains perfect under all weather condi¬ 
tions. The plant grows 'lYl f^^t tall and the sturdy 
stem and the firm foliage colored rich bronzy green. 
Vivid and beautiful Augusta will supersede all the 
older Phlox of similar color. 3 for $1.50; $4.50 
per doz. 
New Phlox, Columbia 
(Plant Patent No. 118 ) 
The color is an exquisite cameo-pink with a faint 
blue eye and produces an effect never before seen 
in Phlox. The clearness of tone is remarkable, and 
the marvelous brilliant color does not fade into 
purple as the flower ages. The flower crop is im¬ 
mense. A well-grown plant will produce 15 flower 
spikes IVj feet high. Unquestionably the finest of 
the pink Phlox, and probably the finest of all Phlox. 
45c each: 3 for $1.10; $3.30 per doz. 
New Phlox, Tigress 
After a century of eiTort the plant breeders have 
at last given us a real flame-colored Phlox! 
We have, of course, had flame-colored Phlox be¬ 
fore, but in the past breeding this color into Phlox 
weakened the plants severely and frequently they 
did not bloom. Meanwhile disease and insects took 
their toll of the weakened strain. 
Phlox, Tigress, is the realization of the 
Phlox lover s dream. The plants grow tall and 
sturdy—equal, in this respect, to Columbia or Miss 
Lingard. There is no suggestion of disease or weak¬ 
ness and the flowers are immense, the largest that 
grow, and the color is the true vividly brilliant 
orange-scarlet-flame that the world has sought for 
over a century. Tigress is incomparable in its mag¬ 
nificence. 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 10c for six Phlox. 
DELPHINIUMS 
W E ARE tempted to say that the Improved Eng' 
lish Delphiniums are the most beautiful hardy 
plants in cultivation. Blooming all summer, 
coming up year after year, sending aloft successive 
shafts of incredible color to a height of 6, 7, and 8 feet; 
every imaginable tone and shade of blue, lavender, and 
purple, it is doubtful if any other plant so superb as 
Delphinium ever graced a garden. 
Eew people are aware of the perfection to which the 
ancient flower has been brought by modern plant 
breeding, how easily it can be planted and grown,

New White Delphinium, Iceberg

ing to produce a pure white Delphinium and now at 
last in Iceberg the long sought for white Delphinium 
is here. The color is pure white, without a trace of 
nasty gray shade. Like other Hybrid Delphiniums the
