HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
No garden is complete without perennial 
Phlox. The color range is so large, the 
colors so bright, blooming period so long, 
every flower garden should find a place for 
some. Plants begin to bloom late June, With 
proper treatment, continuous blooms may 
be expected until frost. Our list of Phlox is 
made up of the very best of standard sorts 
and including some of the newer varieties. 
These are all heavy one year field grown 
clumps guaranteed to bloom this year. 
Special Collection—1 each of the follow- 
ing varieties, $1.35.

shaded lighter eye.

dainty lilac eye. 

BLUEBERRIES 
- Easy to Grow. Set the bushes 5x7 feet 
apart in moist acid soil. If your soil is 
sweet, it may be made acid by mixing with 
it a small quantity of acid peat, rotted 
leaves, pine needles, or old sawdust. Fruit 
ripens over a period of several weeks. 
A bush grown by itself will not bear fruit, 
but where 4 or more plants of different vari- 
eties are grown in close proximity, perfect 
fertilization of the blossoms take place, and 
abundant crops result. Consequently our 
Blueberries are sold in units of 4 plants 
(mixed varieties) or in blocks of 8 plants or 
more (mixed). Each plant bears a name tag. 
Orders for single plants will not be accepted. 
Offering best fruiting varieties developed 
by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. These in- 
clude Cabot, Adams, Rancocas, Harding, 
Pioneer, June, and Stanley.
