Phlox Sutuata (Moss or Creeping Phlox) 
These dwarf creeping Phlox are some of the first flowers to brighten the landscape in the spring. Because of their low growth, spreading 
habit, and vivid colors, they are especially fine for rock garden work. They are used extensively to put into terrace plantings, where dotted in 
among other plants, they are exceedingly bright and effective. Extensively used for planting about the base of the stone in cemetery work. 
Height, 4 to 6 inches. 
We believe more people should plant Subulata Phlox. They are one of the most brilliant flowers of the early spring. 
Subulata Phlox are a little bothersome to plant because of a big spreading top with a very small amount of root. In planting it is well to 
force some of the top into the hole with the roots and bring the dirt up well about this part of the top. Water well in planting and then keep 
soil well stirred for several weeks.

ATROPURPUREA. This is the richest and most brilliant of all of this 
type of Phlox. The color is a deep carmine-red. This variety is used 
extensively for cemetery planting. The long rows of Atropurpurea 
in our fields at this time (May 10th) are attracting travelers from a 
VY mile distant highway who come to see what these red streaks 
appearing so early could be. 
BLUE HILL. The nearest approach to a true blue that comes in these 
Subulata Phlox. Very thrifty and floriferous variety. Similar to 
Lilacina but very much more blue in color. 
BRETONUI. A peculiarly formed little Phlox with the petals cut some- 
what after the form of those of the star annual Phlox, which gives 
it a very delicate and attractive look. White with just a suggestion 
of lavender in the center of each little petal. 
EMERALD CUSHION. This variety is distinctly ditferent from all the 
others. The foliage is a bright green and stays green all winter. The 
plant grows close to the ground and forms a perfect mass. The flowers 
are large and of a deep rich rose in color. 
MAISCHNEE (May Snow). An extremely free-flowering pure white 
variety of very attractive appearance. Very neat habit and a great 
improvement in whites. 
ROCHESTER. A very bright deep pink. Color so intense as to be 
noticeable for a long distance. A nice clean bright deep pink. 
ROSEA. A deep uniform rose color, with a circle of minute carmine 
dots at the base of the petals. Forms a very compact uniform-shaped 
a plant and is very effective. 
Phlox Subulata One each of all 7 varieties in our list for $1.75, postpaid. 
| Siberian Inis 
The Siberian Irises are very graceful and are much used in landscape work as the plants with their rich upright growth and grasslike foliage add 
very materially to the beauty of any planting in which they are used. Wonderful to use about water pools, bird baths, etc. Perfectly hardy. 
In our show room we usually plant clumps of Siberian Iris around our bird baths. We receive more orders for this Siberian Iris from our 
visitors who see it in bloom than we often do during a whole season when we depend upon the descriptions in our catalog for our orders. 
Siberian Iris works in nicely with other flowers for bouquet work.
