No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range is so large, the colors so bright, and the 
period or blooming so long that every garden should contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment, continuous bloom may be expected until 
frost comes. 
U ater 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 
nrst 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

AFRICA. Brilliant carmine-red with deep blood-red eye. The large, 
nicely formed florets are gathered into a large shapely truss of in- 
tense richness. Almost a Slack-red. 
APOLLO. A tall, sturdy growing Phlox in a soft shade of rich red, 
covered with a bright scarlet sheen. 
AURORA. Florets large, bright pink with rays of white from the light 
carmine center, the large panicles of flowers reflecting a salmon-pink 
effect. Growth of plant strong and healthy and of medium height. 
CHIEFTAIN. The color is deep red without violet or purple shadings 
and holds its color under adverse weather conditions. A strong 
grower of medium height. A Phlox that everybody likes. The color 
is very intense and still very pleasing. 
COMUS. Clear pink, overlaid bright orange-scarlet; florets large; me¬ 
dium height, the plant being well branched from the ground. This 
new variety is similar in habit to Jules Sandeau, blooming somewhat 
later in season and more attractive in color. 
B. COMTE. One of the richest of all dark colored Phlox. A rich satiny 
deep red-purple. Hard to find anything better in its color. One of 
the very darkest and richest in the red shades. 
BETTY LOU. Bright orange-scarlet with claret center; medium height, 
with many lateral branches affording a long season of bloom. A beau¬ 
tiful soft pink with very large beautifully formed florets. 
CAMILLO SCHNEIDER. Large flowers of a bright velvety red; blooms 
profusely all summer. An extremely striking bright red. 
CAROLINE VANDENBURG. We think Ethel Pritchard the best of the 
light blues and Caroline Vandenburg the most attractive of the deep 
blue shades. Those who like blue should have both. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25. 
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. One of the best of the whites with 
a red eye. 
DAILY SKETCH. It is the most distinct new Phlox we have seen in 
many years. The plant is tall, the individual flower very large. The 
color is a light salmon-pink with a very large and very noticeable 
carmine eye. Surely an outstanding new variety. 
DR. CHAS. MAYO. Another Phlox somewhat similar to Count Zeppe¬ 
lin and yet entirely distinct. A very strong grower. One of the late 
W. E. Fryer’s best Phlox. A Phlox very little subject to troubles that 
beset the Phlox. 
CHAMPS ELYSEE. A very pleasing deep velvety purple, so deep as to 
have a blue effect.

Th ee Phlox That Are Different J 
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. 
DIVARICATA CANADENSIS. A native species worthy of more 1 
extensive growing. This is the wild Phlox found growing so 
freely along the edge of timber. Blooms through April and 
May. The flowers are fragrant and of a lovely lavender shade. 
Does well in shady places. 
(Red spider never attacks the foliage of these three varieties.) 
Prices the same as other Phlox.

ETHEL PRITCHARD. A French mauve in color. If seen on a cloudy 
day it looks like our native blue Phlox. Good blue has been hard to 
get in the Phlox, but Ethel Pritchard is a good light blue. 
FEUERBRAND. A splendid red Phlox. Good plant and a very profuse 
bloomer. Very bright dark red-crimson. One of the most brilliant 
of all reds.
