PULoyx. - 
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, con¬ 
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 well-enriched soil and a sunny, well-drained 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 
winter approaches, stir the ground well about the plants and cover with 
a good mulch. 
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 also 
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. 
PitltyX, SuJuilatd Moss or Creeping Phlox 
These dwarf creeping Phloxes are some of the first flowers to brighten 
the landscape in the spring. Because of their low growth, spreading 
habits, and vivid colors, they are especially fine for rock garden work. 
They are used extensively to put into terrace plantings, where dotted in 
among other plants, they are exceedingly bright and effective. Ex¬ 
tensively used for planting about the base of the stone in cemetery work. 
Height, 4 to 6 inches. 
Instead of trying to describe each variety to you, we wish we could 
show you our colored slides of these varieties as they grow in long rows 
in our fields. 
Prices: Each 35c; any 3 for 75c; 
all 10 for $2.00, postpaid 
ALBA. Absolutely pure white. The plant has a tendency to grow into 
a perfectly round little plant from 1 foot to 18 inches in diameter and 
when in bloom it is just one solid mass of pure white. 
ATROPURPUREA. Th is is the richest and most brilliant of all of this 
type of Phlox. The color is a deep carmine-red. This variety is used 
extensively for cemetery planting. The long rows of Atropurpurea 
in our fields at this time (May 10th) are attracting travelers from a 
)/ 2 -mile distant highway who come to see what these red streaks ap¬ 
pearing so early could be. 
ATROVIOLACEA. Deep violet-blue flowers in great profusion. This 
is one of the best in this deep rich shade. 
BRIGHTNESS. A lovely bright pink with delicate markings in white. 
A very lively little flower. 
LILACINA. A very strong growing creeping variety that forms a 
solid carpet with its rich light green glossy foliage. Completely 
covered with delicate lavender flowers, with a circle of little dark 
blue dots at the base of the petals. Foliage remains lovely all 
winter under the snow. 
Moerheim 
LILAKONIGIN. A pure deep blue flower with a darker eye. The blossoms 
completely cover the plants during April and May. 
MAISCHNEE (May Snow). An extremely free-flowering pure white va¬ 
riety of very attractive appearance. Very neat habit and a great im¬ 
provement in whites. 
MOERHEIM. Here is indeed a real acquisition to our list of Phlox Subulata 
which we are building up. It is a very much enlarged and improved 
Rosea. The individual flowers are much larger, the petals bigger, the 
color richer, and the eye much more prominent. 
ROSEA. A deep uniform rose color, with a circle of minute carmine dots 
at the base of the petals. Forms a very compact uniform-shaped plant 
and is very effective. 
VIVID. A small blossom of the brightest imaginable clear pink with a very 
clearly defined small vivid deep red eye. This little Phlox is very choice 
and is especially desirable where a refined little plant is wanted. Probably 
the brightest of all Subulata varieties.

Each, 35c; 3 for ^1.00; 6 for ^1.75, postpaid. 
AUTUMN ROSE. A very compact growing plant with rather large indi¬ 
vidual flowers of an intense brilliant rose with a very rich red eye. Blooms 
freely again in September and continues all fall. 
APPLE BLOSSOM. A very decided acquisition to our list of these attrac¬ 
tive, low-growing Phloxes. A pure delicate apple-blossom-pink with a 
clean cut deeper eye. 
BLUE HILL. Here is truly a coming Phlox. The best and nearest blue 
we have ever seen in Subulata Phlox. 
BRETONUI. A peculiarly formed little Phlox with the petals cut some¬ 
what after the form of those of the star annual Phlox, which gives it a 
very delicate and attractive look. White with just a suggestion of lav¬ 
ender. 
FAIRY. Pale blue with a deep purple eye. A fine little rock plant after 
the style of Vivid. Small-growing, compact habit. 
SAMSON. Very large flowers of a uniform brilliant deep rose-pink. We 
consider this one of the choicest.
