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 pan- 
icles of crimson and scarlet, glistening pink, salmon and 
orange, silvery white, and here and there a lavender' 
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.
