P. Moutan or suffruticosa (Chinese Tree Peony). 6 feet. Tree 
Peonies, while hardy and easy to grow, are among the really 
fine plants available for the garden. They do not die to the 
ground each winter as do the ordinary herbaceous paeonies, but 
slowly form a shrubby little tree which each spring is decked with 
huge 6* to 8-inch single or semi-double blossoms in some shade 
of white, pink, red, or lavender. We offer six-year old plants in 
mixed colors only, but no matter what color or type of blossom 
the plant has which you receive, you will find it a grand addition 
to your home grounds. Each, $4.00. 
PAP AVER amurense, Yellow Wonder. A new strain of Iceland 
Poppy more adapted to American summers than the general run 
of varieties due to its remarkable resistance to heat and drought. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c.

well known scarlet P. barbatus torreyi, in which the color of the 
blossom has been changed to coral-pink. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c.

tubular flowers. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c.

clusters of soft rose flowers. If possible give them a well drained, 
rather poor soil. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
HARDY GARDEN PHLOX 
No plant in a modern garden can equal the vivid display put on 
by the hardy Phlox. Almost overnight the flower buds burst wide 
open flinging out their panicles of crimson and scarlet, glistening 
pink, salmon and orange, silvery white and here and there a laven¬ 
der-blue, clothing the garden in a sheet of riotous color for a 
month or more. Our collection has been carefully chosen from the 
confusing array of varieties now on the market. There is not a 
second rate Phlox on the list. All varieties are 25c each; 3 alike for 
60c, except where noted otherwise. 
B. Comte. A very old variety, but still unbeatable in its bril- 
liant shade of deepest red. 
Betty Lou. Bright orange-pink with small dark eye. A very 
bright and attractive Phlox. 
Blue Hill. Lavender-blue. 
Commander. Deep crimson. 
Daily Sketch. Large clear pink Phlox with broad carmine eye. 
Debs. Rich satiny deep crimson. 
Enchantress. Large pink flowers, slightly salmon when first open, 
with a darker eye. 
Fiancee. Pure white with dark green glossy foliage. 
George Stipp. Deep salmon-pink with a dark eye. A strong 
grower and the blossoms hold their color well. 
Jules Sandeau. Dwarf growing, very large flowered clear pink 
with fine dark green foliage. An old variety, but one of 
unsurpassed beauty. 
Maid Marion. Soft lavender. Beautiful in the semi-shade. 
Miss Lingard (suffruticosa variety). Begins to bloom in early 
June and continues till October. White flowers and dark 
green glossy foliage which seems immune to insect pests and 
diseases. 
Miss Verboom (suffruticosa variety). Like Miss Lingard, except 
that the flowers are soft lavender-pink. 
Mrs. Jenkins (Independence). A fine late, free-flowering white. 
Mrs. W. Van Beuningen. Deep salmon-pink. 
Painted Lady. Silvery pink with bright cherry-red eye. 
Pantheon. A good clear rose-pink. 
P. D. Williams. Enormous flowers. Soft rose-pink with darker 
center. 
Rheinlander. Light salmon-pink. Deeper eye. 
Rijnstroom. Large trusses of rose-pink on strong stems. One 
of the most popular varieties for massing. 
Rokoko. One of the newer soft pinks. Large individual flowers 
which keep their color well in the hot sun. 
Rosenkavalier. Another new comer. Enormous rose-pink flowers 
in large clusters. 
Salmon Glow. The best salmon-colored Phlox. Outstanding. 
W. Kesselring. Deep violet with large white eye. 
PHLOX amoena. 6 inches. This fine creeping Phlox blooms after 
the P. subulata (Moss Pink) show is over. Makes a dense carpet 
over the ground which is covered by a sheet of bright pink 
bloom in the late spring. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
P. divaricata laphami (Canadian Phlox). 1 ft. Large, lavender- 
blue flowers in May. This is an improved form of a fine native 
plant. It makes a beautiful carpet for woodsy locations. Each, 
25c; 3 for 60c. 
P. ovata caroliniana (Mountain Phlox). 12 to 15 inches. Very 
neat and dwarf. Vivid, rosy red flowers brighten the rock garden 
in early summer. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
P. subulata (Moss Pink). Prostrate. Moss-like foliage and perfect 
sheets of blossoms in the early spring. We offer the following 
varieties: 
Blue Hill. The best of the blue creeping Phlox. A compact 
grower with masses of clear blue flowers slightly tinged with 
lavender. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Brilliant (atropurpureum). A creeping Phlox belonging to the 
same group as the very common “Moss Pink,” that sheet of 
pink which may be purchased by the square yard at almost 
any roadside stand in the spring. Brilliant has the same de¬ 
sirable characteristics of rapid growth and extreme hardiness 
possessed by the “Moss Pink,” but spreads its carpet of bloom 
in an entirely new color, deep red, much like that of the old 
B. Comte Phlox. This is a color almost entirely lacking in 
the garden in early spring. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Camlaensis. This is an English Phlox subulata, introduced by Mr. 
Millard and is generally considered one of the finest of the 
now very extensive list of new “Moss Pink” varieties. The 
plant is very neat and compact in growth and the large salmon- 
pink flowers are not only borne in masses in the spring, but 
also in smaller quantities throughout the summer and fall. We 
highly recommend this variety. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Lilacina. Lilac. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Ronsdorf Beauty. This fine new variety makes tight, compact 
clumps and bears brilliant salmon flowers. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Rosea. The old familiar rose-pink. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Snow White. Neat mounds of tiniest deep green evergreen 
foliage covered in the spring with pure white starry blossoms. 
A very orderly grower that will make no attempt to usurp 
the whole garden. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c.
