HARDY PHLOX 
Clumps of three or more give zest to a border and in masses they 
produce summer color that is unexcelled. A ‘‘must’’ in any well-

advantage to plant Phlox in the fall.

Specially Adapted 
to Fall Planting 
Bae on page 19, we present a selected group of J. & P. 
Modern Perennials to plant this fall, for early spring bloom 
and for robust, well-developed plants to become better established 
for a superlative display next summer. Right now is the time 
when it is easiest to observe where more color is needed and 
obsolete plants should be replaced. 
Fall planting saves time, too, for other duties in spring when 
a hundred different tasks press for attention. 
We take pride in offering only the newer, quality varieties which 
will grace your garden for many years. 
Complete, simple instructions will be sent with your plants, which we will for- 
ward at the proper time for setting out this fall; if followed we guarantee results 
and will replace next spring any you should be unsuccessful in wintering. 
GYPSOPHILA . Baby’s Breath

This tall-growing, double white Baby’s 
Breath is a joy in any garden—gives a lacy 
pattern that cannot be obtained in any other 
way. Blooms start in June. 20 to 24 in. high. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.50 
ROSY VEIL 
Lower-growing, double pink flowers. June

50c each; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.50 

ae Golden Queen 
TROLLIUS—Golden Queen 
Trollius has gained real popularity in recent 
years; possesses many of the desired features 
of Ranunculus but is perfectly hardy and far 
easier to grow. For sheer lovely gold, nothing 
quite equals Golden Queen. Quite tall, almost 
30 in. Plant in semi-shaded ground which 
remains fairly damp. Blooms prolifically in 
July. Plant this fall for glorious flowers then. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.50 
VERONICA—Blue Spire 
Very desirable deep blue, artistic spikes. 
Blooms in early summer, again later if cut off 
after first bloom. Most satisfactory. 24 in. 
3 for $1.10; 10 for $3. 
VIOLA—Double Russian 
Exquisite, double old-fashioned Violet with 
unusually sweet fragrance. Hardy anywhere. 
Produces abundance of lovely flowers. Ex- 
cellent for semi-shady places. May to October. 
3 for $1.; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $22. 
VINCA MINOR-—Bowles 
With repeating blooms of much larger Alice- 
blue flowers, far superior to the old-fashioned 
Vinca minor. Foliage always clean; never rusts 
or turns brown. Most satisfactory of flower- 
ing ground-cover plants; excellent for banks, 
under trees, other shady or difficult spots. 
3 for 75c; 10 for $2.; 100 for $18.
