Pie — LOX ~ PHLOX 
For 1947 we offer the finest collection of Hardy 
Phiox obtainable anywhere. Here is ‘‘the most useful 
of all perennials’’ at its best. We are constantly re- 
building our Phlox collection, trying to select only 
those that have the most merit as to flower color, 
foliage quality, resistance to diseases and pests, and 
general good growing habits. Some of those chosen 
are new and some trusty old favorites. 
Mass plantings of 10 or more of a color produce a 
brilliant display; a constant source of pleasure dur- 
ing their long kloomfing 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.

3; $4.50 for 10.

answer this description, we believe 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 shad- 
ings in this lovely soft magenta Phlox. The 
individual florets are large and borne in good 
sized clusters. Plants broadly upright to «a 
height of 114 to 2 feet and the excellent leathery 
foliage, combined with the unique coloring, 
make 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. 2 ft. None of the magenia

ters on erect, sturdy stems. The most attractive 
of the Phlox and a real addition to your garden.

PURPLE 
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 purple. The rich coloring of this Phlox 
as well as its elegant foliage and good growth 
habits, make it a necessity in any Phlox plant- 
ing. You will want several of these. 60c each; 
$1.50 for 3; $4.50 for 10.
