HARDY PHLOX 
Clumps of three or more make an attractive group in a border, and in masses they 
produce radiant summer color that is unexcelled. The graceful ease with which 
they beautify every part of the border or garden makes these lovely varieties invalu- 
able to every flower lover. These six new introductions, the first two of which are 
shown in natural color at right, are particularly recommended for the greater glory 
of their immense florets and great mounds of color year after year. To complete the 
color-range we also list the best of the older varieties. 
Gain a Season in Your Garden 
()* THESE two pages and pages 22, 23 and 24 are 
those varieties that do best when planted in the 
fall, or may be planted advantageously in the 
fall, when it is easier to plan the most effective com- 
binations of plant habit, height, color, succession of 
bloom. Your plants will be well established for quick 
growth and early bloom in 1943. All field-grown plants. 
Guaranteed to live and bloom. Directions for planting 
and preparation for winter included with every order.

PROGRESS 
This heavenly new color you'll surely want. 
A handsome light blue always, though it may 
vary in tone according to type of soil and loca- 
tion—particularly effective where cooler, 
damp nights prevail. Extremely large flower- 
heads and 114- to 2-in. florets; eyes are deeper 
purple-blue, further enhancing the beauty of

Perennials Below Are All Shown on Page 27 at Right 
RUDBECKIA—The King 
Regally it bears its large deep crimson-red 
flowers. From half-open flower to orange- 
brown seed-cone, it is always attractive, both 
in the garden and the house. The petals 
never fold back; the stems remain majestically 
stiff. 3 ft. high. Graceful, long-lasting both 
in the garden and in bouquets, for which the 
King is ideal. 
60c each; 3 for $1.60; 12 for $6. 
GEUM, Red Wings 
A new and brighter J. & P. Geum—vivid 
strawberry-red, with yellow anthers. Semi- 
double, 2-in. flowers 24 in. high, in great 
profusion May and June; intermittent all 
summer. The foliage, 6 to 8 in. high, is a real 
decoration all season. Far too few know the 
pleasure of Geums, and especially Red Wings, 
except as friends of those who have them 
admire and ask the name, then order for 
themselves. Do not wait longer—order now 
and learn for yourself. 
50c each; 3 for $1.35; 12 for $5. 
VERBASCUM, Pink Domino 
A lovely rose-pink, delightfully refined form 
of the yellow mullein which flourishes so 
ruggedly along the roadsides. The upright 
picturesque branching flower spikes reach 4 ft. 
in height. One of the most effective pink 
background plantings in late August and 
September—a consistent show of color. 
60c each; 3 for $1.60; 12 for $6. 
VIOLET, Royal Robe 
Extra-large flowers of deep, rich color. Real 
violet fragrance. Unusually long stems; sturdy 
foliage. Blooms freely. Plant liberally for a 
gorgeous bed next spring. In winter protect 
with leaves or straw. A new and very prolific 
variety we have been pleased to include in 
our 1942 introductions, completely satisfying 
in every way. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; 12 for $6.50 
PYRETHRUM, Pink Bouquet 
A pert double Painted Daisy, with five to 
eight 4-in. blooms on a single stem. A new 
and sensationally successful introduction of 
our own nurseries. The outer petals are a deep 
rosy pink while the interesting centers have 
white masses of shorter petals. Unlike most 
Pyrethrums, the petals stand straight out and 
the stems upright in all weather, very clean- 
cut. Blooms come in May and last through 
June. Fine 30-in. stems. (So you may enjoy 
Pink Bouquet at its best next summer, and to 
overcome the usual difficulties of transplanting, 
we are potting selected plants now and we 
guarantee these plants to live and bloom; we do 
not offer Pyrethrum for fall planting except in 
pots.) Here is one of the finest of all early 
summer flowers, and one which no gardener 
is ever willing to do without, after once en- 
joying its garden display and seeing the lovely 
blooms in bouquets. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; 12 for $6.50
