Phlox Decussata 
HARDY PHLOX 
Atlanta. (Plant Patent No. 329) 
Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
Flowers as large as hydrangeas. This fine new Phlox was 
really selected by visitors to our nursery. Everyone who saw 
it remarked about its extraordinary large flower heads which 
reminded them of the flowers of Hydrangea Paniculata. The 
individual florets are white, beautifully shaded pale blue. 
The eye is a deep blue. Flower heads are immense in size 
and carried on stiff 2% to 3-foot stems, As with Columbia, 
there develop from the leaf joints secondary flower heads, 
continuing to bloom for several weeks after the main flower 
head has faded. Foliage is clean, and the entire plant im- 
presses one with its vigor. The delicate tints and shades de- 
velop best when planted in not too strong sunlight. It is 
difficult to describe Atlanta, but we are sure you will welcome 
this lovely new Phlox among your most prized flowers. 
Augusta. (Plant Patent No. 252) 
Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
—the finest American-Beauty-red phlox ever introduced 
A strong growing plant of medium height, about 2% feet 
when fully grown, with rich bronzy green foliage and stem. 
Color is best described as a brilliant cherry-red, not quite 
as deep as Beacon and much more intense and sparkling. The 
young florets at opening show a decided amount of orange. 
Unlike most Phlox of this color, it does not discolor or bleach 
in the sun. The color remains perfect under all weather 
conditions. Augusta is a beautiful vivid colored variety of 
exceptional growth and qualities, and will eventually replace 
all other varieties of similar shade. 


Columbia. (Plant Patent No. 118) 
Three $0.75, Doz. $2.25, 100 $12.00 
—the finest light pink phlox ever introduced 
The color suggests a delicate cameo-pink with faint blue 
shading at center. The effect created by a well-grown plant 
is exquisite and never before seen in Phlox. The clearness of 
tone is remarkable, the brilliancy is so pronounced that im- 
mediate attention is given to this wonderful plant. As the 
flower ages, the blooms always retain their delicate pink 
shade; there never are any magenta tones visible. Out of 
each leaf joint grows a lateral or secondary flower spike 
continuing the display of blooms long after the main flower 
head has disappeared. Columbia, is, therefore, well called 
the “perpetual flowering” Phlox. 

Mary Louise 
Three $0.75; Doz., $2.25; 100 $12.00 
—as white as Carrara marble 
Pure white heads of unusually large 
size, reminding one of Carrara mar- 
ble; the individual flowers are twice 
as big as other white Phlox. A per- 
fectly beautiful variety; unques- 
tionably the best white to date. The 
favorite in English gardens. It is a 
good grower with clean foliage and

Brilliant carmine-red with blood-red eye. Well shaped flower 
heads composed of large florets. Good strong stem and not 
subject to mildew if properly taken care of. One of the best 
new dark red varieties. : 
Antonin Mercier Three $0.65, Doz, $1.65, 100 $10.00 
A delicate lilac-blue; free flowering variety of medium height, 
and fairly free from red spider. During prolonged hot weather 
the color fades to a very pale lilac; in light shade, however, 
the coloring is constant.

Tall growing variety producing large heads of rich satiny 
amaranth flowers. Very brilliant. Looks well planted close to 
a yellow flowered plant. 
Blue Boy Three $0.85, Doz. $2.75, 100 $15.00 
Blue Phlox just do not exist. In semi-shade, however, certain 
varieties develop good blue tints. So far, Blue Boy is the near- 
est to dark blue we have been able to come, Planted with 
Mary Louise a stunning contrast is made. Blue Boy is a good 
grower and of medium height. 
Caroline Vandenburg Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00

a true lavender-blue without the magenta shades peculiar to 
this section. Large individual flowers. 
Cheerfulness Three $0.85, Doz. $2.75, 100 $15.00

salmon-orange flowers which show a very small crimson eye.

sunlight, also it is a very late flowering variety, prolonging 
the season several weeks. Height about 3 feet.
