No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range is 
so large, the colors so bright, and the period of blooming so long that 
every garden should contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment, com 
tinuous bloom may be expected until frost comes. 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers should not be allowed 
to go to seed. Cut the first flower spikes when they are in full bloom and 
use for home decoration. Or, if left longer on the plant, they should 
be cut as soon as the blooms fade. In this way a second setting of bloom 
will come on and thus the season will be prolonged. 
This plant likes a welbenriched soil and a sunny, welbdrained location. 
Fall planting can be made from the first of September until the ground 
freezes. Phlox can also be planted in the spring. 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the surface and use plenty of 
water when planting if the ground is at all dry. If the soil is dry as win¬ 
ter approaches, stir the ground well about the plants and cover with 
a good mulch. 
Our list of standard Phlox is made up of sorts we have tested for 
many years and have chosen the very best of the larger number of older 
varieties that are offered for sale. 
We add also a short list of what we consider the most desirable of the 
newer varieties. 
Prices for Standard Varieties of 1-year, field-grown stock: 1 Phlox, 
35c; 3 of different varieties for 75c; 6 all different varieties for #1.35; 
any 12 for #2.25. 
NOTE: We prepay all orders for Phlox amounting to #2.00 or more. 
Allow 25 cents extra on small orders. 
Many people like to plant their Phlox in groups of three or more 
of a kind. Some prefer entire beds made up of one kind. If you wish 
to plant one sort, we offer the following prices: 
3 Phlox, 1 kind, 65c; 6 Phlox, 1 kind, #1.25; 12 Phlox, 1 kind, #2.15; 
100 Phlox, not less than 25 of a kind #15.00. 
STANDARD LIST 
AFRICA. Brilliant carmine-red with deep blood-red eye. The large, 
nicely formed florets are gathered into a large shapely truss of intense 
richness. 
APOLLO. A tall sturdy growing Phlox in a soft shade of rich red cov¬ 
ered with a bright scarlet sheen. 
BEACON. A bright cherry-red with strong tall stems. A very distinct 
and pleasing color. 
B. COMTE. O ne of the richest of all dark colored Phlox. A rich 
satiny deep red-purple. Hard to find anything better in its color. 
BRIDESMAID. A medium tall, very strong growing Phlox producing 
great nicely shaped panicles. A good white with a large well-defined 
rose-crimson eye. 
CAROLINE VANDENBERG. Lavender bloom; the nearest to a blue of 
all Phlox. Large individual flowers. Splendid variety. 
CHAMPS ELYSEE. A very pleasing deep velvety purple, so deep as to 
have a blue effect. 
COMUS. A splendid blooming Phlox of medium height that is literally 
covered all summer with bloom. A deep bright uniform rose. Tre¬ 
mendous bloomer. 
COQUELICOT. One of the brightest of all Phlox. An intensely bright, 
almost scarlet, red. Medium height. 
COUNT ZEPPELIN. A tall, nicely formed plant. Large white with a 
vermilion-red eye. A very neat clean-looking variety. Very different 
from Bridesmaid in appearance. 
DEBS. A tall clear bright red with many side branches which bloom 
over a long period of time. 
DR. CHARLES MAYO. Another Phlox somewhat after the type of 
Bridesmaid and Count Zeppelin and yet entirely distinct. A very 
strong grower. One of the late W. E. Fryers best Phlox. 
FEURBRAND. A splendid red Phlox. Good plant and a very profuse 
bloomer. Very bright dark red-crimson. One of the most brilliant of 
all reds. 
FRAU ANTON BUCHNER. A tall plant. Very rich looking superbly 
formed flowers of pure creamy white. Florets are of great size and 
beautiful in form. One of the real good whites. 
H. 0. WIJERS. A pure glistening white with large trusses made up of 
large florets with a distinct bright red eye. 
INNOCENCE. A pure glistening white. A strong, robust-growing variety 
and a profuse bloomer. Does not have the creamy tint of Frau Anton 
Buchner, but is an extremely fine white. 
JULES SANDEAU. A Phlox of dwarf habit which produces blooms of 
the largest size in a beautiful clear, medium pink. A Phlox that is 
unusually free from disease and in constant bloom all season. 
MIA RUYS. A dwarf white about 12 inches high with huge panicles 
of very large individual flowers of wonderfully perfect form. Very 
fine. 
MILLY VON HOBOKEN. A truly great variety. One of those kinds that 
will stand lots of grief and still survive. A tall, robust plant producing 
freely great blooms of a deep pink with a much deeper pink center. 
MRS. HARDING. A beautiful deep very rich looking salmon-pink. Both 
panicles and florets' are extra large. Very floriferous. A splendid 
Phlox. 
PAINTED LADY. This is, indeed, a very striking variety. At a distance 
it seems to be a beautiful uniform self rich pink, but as you come 
closer to the flower you will notice a very small, sharply defined rich 
red center. No other Phlox like it. 
R. P. STRUTHERS IMPROVED. A great Phlox in a deep shade of rose 
that will stand right up in the most intense sun without burning. Very 
desirable because of this. 
SIEBOLD. Strong, robust, large rich salmon-pink with more or less of 
a halo of white through the lower half of the petals. 
SIR EDWIN LANDSEER. An intense light crimson or light, bright red 
that is about as profuse a bloomer as can be found in Phlox. 
SPECIAL FRENCH. A beautiful even light pink in a very delicate shade. 
Probably the best very light pink. 
STARLIGHT. A comparatively new Phlox. Deep violet fading to lilac, 
with a large star-shaped white center. A good tall Phlox. 
THOR. An old dependable variety that always gives satisfaction. Grows 
to medium height. Throws up lots of strong stems which are always 
covered with great, nicely shaped trusses in pleasing salmon-pink. 
VON HOCHBERG. A brilliant red that is hard to beat. A tall, easy to 
grow variety that is one of the very best of the real dark reds. 
WIDAR. Large violet-blue florets with a large clear white eye. Medium 
height and of strong growing habit. 
WM. KESSELRING. A deep plum-purple, shading to a dainty lilac eye. 
A different color from any of the others listed. 
Two Phlox That Are Different 
MISS LINGARD. This is an entirely different Phlox from the rest 
of this list except Miss Verboom. It has beautiful long shiny 
green foliage that looks as if waxed, and is free from disease. It 
is a pure white coming a month earlier than the other varieties 
listed. It is much used for cutting. 
MISS VERBOOM. What has been said of Miss Lingard is a'so true 
of this variety except as to its color. This is a rose-colored 
Miss Lingard. 
Red spider never attacks the foliage of these two.
