Choice New Phlox 
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.

This variety does 
Much has 
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. 
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 dise 
wanting in size. The flower edges actually overlapped the metal 
coin. We believe Mary Louise will be the parent of many new 
varieties, 
ROSENBURG. This variety proved to be the most popular pur- 
ple Phlox in our gardens last year. A healthy grower with mas- 
sive heads of large, brilliant purple florets. 
SALMON BEAUTY. A really unusual and interesting color 
combination. The large flowers are deep Salmon pink, but in- 
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.

G pions “f 
For many years fine Phlox has been 
one of our specialties. In our quest for 
the finest we grow and test nearly a hun- 
dred varieties each year. Space does not 
permit us to list all of them in our cata- 
log, so we take this method of offering 
them to our customers. We will make 
up a collection of eight varieties not of- 
fered in our general list, at a special 
clearance price of $1.00, postpaid. Each 
plant will be different. All are large 
flowered and good garden varieties.

very seed pods, which present a beautiful 
and rather curious appeatance. When dried, 
the stems which are loaded with these glis- 
tening seed pouches, will last indefinitely

other decorative purposes. Pkt., {5e.
