AMERICAN BEAUTY. A very strong growing, disease-resistant Phlox, 
that always does well in our fields. Medium tall with well filled pan- 
icles in a uniform American Beauty Rose color. Very desirable. 
BORDER QUEEN. As the name suggests, this is a dwarf variety excel- 
lent for planting in front of taller varieties and among low growing 
perennials. Massive, well formed heads in a deep Watermelon-pink. 
CAROLINE VANDENBURG. This Phlox and Ethel Pritchard look very 
much alike in the field, as they are both of an attractive shade of 
lavender. The individual florets are unusually large. 
CHARLES CURTIS. A strong growing variety in a peculiar shade of red. 
It holds its color well in the field and is one of the most brilliant of 
all the Phlox we grow. 
CHIEFTAIN. ‘The color is deep red without violet or purple shadings 
and holds its color under adverse weather conditions. A _ strong 
grower of medium height. A Phlox that everybody likes. The color 
is very intense and still very pleasing. 
ETHEL PRITCHARD. A French mauve in color. If seen on a cloudy 
day it looks like our native blue Phlox. A good blue has been hard 
to get in Phlox, but Ethel Pritchard meets this requirement. 
FRAU VON LASSBURG. A tall, pure glistening white with a slight 
greenish reflex. We have grown this variety for years and it is one 
of the kinds that can be depended upon to give satisfaction. 
HARVEST FIRE. A fine salmon-orange with extremely large florets, 
114 to 2 inches in diameter. Medium tall with clean, healthy foliage. 
LEO SCHLAGETER. This new variety is one of the most vivid fiery reds 
of all. Its color is intensified by a tinge of orange in the red which 
enhances its richness. It is about 3 feet tall with splendid growing 
habits. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the 
surface and use plenty of water when plant- 
ing if the ground is at all dry. If the soil is 
dry as winter approaches, stir the ground well 
about the plants and cover with a good coarse 
mulch, but do not use leaves as they often 
smother the plants.

without any trace of magenta or rose and with distinct tracings of 
blue around the center. Very large florets and a profuse bloomer. 
Not a strong grower. 
MISS LINGARD. This is an entirely different Phlox from the rest of 
this list. It has beautiful, !ong, shiny green foliage that looks as if 
waxed, and is free from disease. It is a pure white coming a month 
earlier than the other varieties listed. It is much used for cutting. 
MOUNT HOOD. The large white flowers are formed into broad, 
rounded clusters; plants strong, medium height. This new variety of 
Phlox with its luxuriant foliage and purity of flower is outstanding. 
PINK CHARM. A clear, very bright pink, in compact trusses on many 
medium height stems. A strong, healthy grower. You will like it. 
PRIME MINISTER. A tall growing variety with large, snowy white 
heads with a brilliant red eye. 
R. P. STRUTHERS. We consider this variety one of the most satis- 
factory. Very hardy and a splendid bright red or a deep rose-pink. 
This is a variety that always winters well. 
RUBY LEE. A rich Plum-red with immense blooms. The florets are ex- 
tremely large, the plant is strongly branched, and of medium height. 
STARLIGHT. A deep violet fading to lilac, with a large, star-shaped, 
white center. The best in this color. 
THOR. An old dependable variety that always gives satisfaction. Grows 
to medium height. Throws up lots of strong stems which are always 
covered with great, nicely shaped trusses in pleasing salmon-pink. 
WM. KESSELRING. A deep plum-purple, shading to a dainty lilac eye. 
A different color from any of the others listed. 
CARE OF PHLOX 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers 
should not be allowed to go to seed. Cut the first 
Sate flower spikes when they are in full bloom and use 
for home decoration. Or, if left longer on the plant, 
they should be cut as soon as the blooms fade. In 
this way, a second setting of bloom will come on and 
thus the season will be prolonged. This plant likes a 
well enriched soil and a sunny, well drained position.
