Phlox Thor 
HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
One of the most valuable of flowers for summer bloom, 
giving unsurpassed mass effects in fine colors. 
Give a well prepared and enriched soil and plenty of water 
and where there is much summer heat, a mulch of manure or 
peat moss is invaluable to protect their sensitive surface 
roots. Plant 16 in. apart. Here are unsurpassed old varieties 
and some of the finest new ones. 
Our Phlox, grown in a very late region, must have the entire fall 
to fully develop. Hence —PHLOX ARE SHIPPED JANUARY 
TO APRIL 1 ONLY. Not shipped East of Rockies. 
Each of following I believe to be the best of its color class, 
resistance to mildew and freedom from fading considered. 
Border Gem. Very fine deep purple. 
Border Queen. Exquisite dwarf, bright rose-pink. 
Charming. Lovely salmon-pink, red eye. 
Colonial. A lovely clear lavender. A favorite. 
Graf Zeppelin. Very lovely. Pure white, red eye. 
Leo Schlagater. Stunning clear brilliant scarlet. 
Mary Louise. The finest large pure white. 
Rose Queen. Very fine deep rose. 
PHLOX PRICE 40 cts. each; 3, all one variety, 95 cts. 
Per doz. (6 or more of one variety), $3.60. 
Fine Mixed, $3.25 per doz. 
When this copy is written, May 1, it is difficult to foretell 
crops. Please state if we may substitute equally fine varieties 
in similar colors if a variety is sold out. 

PHLOX DIVARICATA. Blue Phlox. Commencing to flower 


in April and here continuing into summer, the 10-inch 
stems bear airy clusters of quite large fragrant, clear soft 
blue flowers. For some unknown reason we never grew 
this until a year ago and we find it one of the most charm- 
ing subjects as do all visitors. Sun, or best light shade 
and here a well drained but moistened soil rich in humus 
suits it best. Each 40 cts.; 3 for $1.10.
