PHLOX ~ PHLOX ~ PHLOX 
For 1946 we offer the finest collection of Hardy 
Phlox obtainable anywhere. Here is ‘the most useful 
of all perennial plants’’ at its best. For several years 
we have been rebuilding our Phlox collection, trying 
to select only those that have the most merit as to 
flower coloring, foliage quality, resistance to diseases 
and pests, and general good growing habits. Some 
of those chosen are new and some trusty old favor- 
ites. Each is without peer in its color group. For 
your convenience we have arranged them in color 
groups. Mass plantings of 10 or more of a color pro- 
duce a brilliant display; a constant source of pleas- 
ure during their long blooming season. We offer 
strong field-grown plants sure to bloom this year. 
Plant 18 inches apart in good garden soil. Well- 
rotted cow manure will intensify colorings. 
RED 
Charles Curtis. One of the most brilliant Phlox known. 
We think that sunset-red will come nearest to de- 
scribing the color. It is a fine, strong grower, 
reaching a height of about 24% feet. Heads are 
heavy and large and the florets are of a clear, 
sparkling, unfading color. Foliage is heavy and 
most attractive. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10. 
Leo Schlageter. Its brilliant, scarlet blossoms seem to 
glow with fire. This is, without doubt, one of the 
finest brilliant red Phlox of all. Rich, full flower 
heads are borne on 3-foot stems. This is without 
Peet among Phlox. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 
or 10.

Caroline Vandenburg >> 
July Lights. A lovely carmine floret, with blood- 
red eye, in great profusion in great panicles 
on 21%-foot sturdy stems. Altogether an out- 
standing red. 50c each; $1.35 for 3; $4.00 for 10. 
WHITE 
Mary Louise. Unusually large heads of large 
florets of the translucent white of Carrara mar- 
ble. The individual florets are twice the size 
of the usual white Phlox. Excellent, upright 
growing habit and beautiful clean foliage and 
along with it prolific blooming quality, make 
this probably the finest of the white Phlox. 
112 feet. Excellent for cutting. 60c each; $1.50 
for 3; $4.50 for 10. 
Miss Lingard. Another one of the fine white Phlox. 
It is constantly in bloom, usually until October. 
Large flower heads with occasional pink shad- 
ing are most attractive. It is a slightly different 
family than the others and has a different type 
of foliage. Grows to a height of about 15 inches. 
Is never affected by any diseases or pests. 50c 
each; $1.35 for 3; $4.00 for 10. 
Prime Minister. An excellent companion for Mary 
Louise. This lovely white Phlox, which some- 
what resembles Mary Louise, is set off with an 
attractive vermilion eye. Of excellent growth 
habits and medium height, with fine foliage. 
50c each; $1.35 for 3; $4.00 for 10. 
PINK AND SALMON-PINK 
Lillian. One of the newest and, we think, 
without doubt, the finest pink Phlox 
grown anywhere. The florets have a 
lovely cameo-pink color with very deli- 
cate and occasional lavender shadings 
toward the center and throat. The pani- 
cles are large and the foliage is good, 
clean, and disease-resistant. A great 
bloomer and a ‘must’ in any Phlox col- 
lection. 50c each; $1.35 for 3; $4.00 for 10. 
Marie 
Louise 
Annie Laurie. A garden favorite with mammoth 
trusses of large, rich deep salmon florets. The 
glowing flowers, on sturdy 2)-ft. stems, make it 
an excellent subject for the border or for mass 
planting. 50c each; $1.85 for 3; $4.00 for 10. 
Painted Lady..One of, the taller growing varieties, 
approximately 3 feet tall, bearing a multitude of 
pleasing blooms of a silvery pink with salmon 
shadings and a cherry-red eye. Outstanding in 
its color class. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10. 
Salmon Beauty. A rich, salmon-pink with a white 
eye. While there aze a number of Phlcx that 
answer this description, we belieye that Salmon 
Beauty is the most outstanding of all varieties 
in its shade. The plant is sturdy and upright 
growing. 65c each; $1.65 for 3; $5.00 for 10. 
BLUE SHADES 
Blue Boy. So named for the glorious blue shadings 
in this lovely soft magenta Phlox: The individual 
florets are large and borne in good sized clus- 
ters. Plants broadly upright to a height of 144 to 
2 feet and the excellent feathery foliage, com- 
bined with the unique coloring, makes a most 
useful and needed Phlox in the garden and in 
bouquets. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10. 
LAVENDER 
Caroline Vandenburg. This lavender Phlox car- 
ries none of the magenta shades usually found 
in the lavender shades of Phlox. The large 
individual florets are carried in large clusters 
on erect, sturdy stems. The most attractive of 
the lavender Phlox and a real addition to your 
garden. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10. 
PURPLE d 
Royal Purple. This gloriously outstanding Phlox 
has no equal in its type. The rich, violet-shaded 
florets are set off by an eye of a much deeper 
shade of the same color. The rich coloring of 
this Phlox, as well as its elegant foliage and 
good growth habits, make it a necessity in any 
Phlox planting. You will want several of these. 
60c each; $1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10.
