COUNT ZEPPELIN. We admit that this variety is not among 
the newest but we do believe that it is most meritorious. Large 
of flower and pleasing in appearance, it is small wonder that 
people “‘take’’ to it. The flowers are pure white with a carmine 
band around the center. 
DAILY SKETCH. Enormous flowers in beautiful trusses. A 
fine pink with a bright, carmine eye. This variety does not fade 
and blooms intermittently until frost. Much has been written 
about this Phlox. 
ELECTRA. A brilliant, electrifying, deep red if there ever 
was. Those tiny, bright yellow stamens in the center, just no- 
ticeable, make a lively effect. The plant produces fine growth 
and has very large florets. An excellent addition to those better 
varieties of Phlox. No red has ever compared with Electra. 
GOLIATH. Large trusses of pink flowers suffused ever so 
lightly with a salmon pink. The center of each large floret 
stands out brightly with a carmine “‘‘halo.’’ The color is pleas- 
jing and combines nicely with other colors. 
MARY LOUISE. No larger flower has even been produced on 
any Phlox. The flowers are pure white without shadings of any 
description. They are so large that when we placed a silver dol- 
lar on the florets of one-year-old plants we found the silver disc 
wanting in size. The flower edges actually overlapped the metal 
coin. We believe Mary Louise will be the parent of many new 
varieties, 
“4 SALMON BEAUTY. A really unusual and interesting color 
¥ combination. The large flowers are deep salmon pink, but in- 
L stead of having a “‘ring’’ or ‘‘eye,’’ the center is made up of two 
pure white ‘‘beams’’ covering a third of each floret, gradually 
blending into the outer area of salmon pink, A beautiful sight. 





For many years fine Phlox has b 
one of our specialties. In our quest : 
the finest we grow and test nearly a hu 
dred varieties each year. Space does n 
permit us to list all of them in our cata- 
log, so we take this method of offer: 
them to our customers. m 







We will ma’ 
up a collection of eight varieties not 
fered in our general list, at a sp 
clearance price of $1.00, postpaid. Ea 
plant will be different. All are larg 
flowered and good garden varieties. — 



Tigress Phlox 
THE KING. Its title cannot be disputed. The flowers are 
very large. Its growth about 18 inches high. The color 
can be described only as being a little lighter than royal 
purple—rich and full bodied. You will agree with us that 
“The King’’ is a king in its own right—unmistakably so. 
TIGRESS. An outstanding Phlox. Vigorous, upright 
growing with immense trusses of brilliant orange-scarlet 
flowers. The trusses are huge pyramids which are built 
up by long branched laterals, giving an unusually long 
period of bloom.

“SAN ANTONIO. A deep American Beauty red brightened 
by an overlaying glow of carmine, the intensity of which 
increases toward the center of each flower, This is a new 
color in Phlox that you will like. We heartily recom- 
mend it. 
SWEETHEART. You’ll love it too. It has a radiating 
softness that is peculiar to only a very few colors. This 
particular salmon pink glows softly, while those faint, 
light orchid shadings toward the center intensify the color 
effect,
