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. 
BRIDESMAID. A medium tall, very strong growing Phlox producing 
great nicely shaped panicles. A good white with a large well-defined 
rose-crimson eye. 
CAROLINE VANDENBERG. 
This Phlox and Ethel Pritch- 
ard look very much alike in 
the field, as they are both of 
an attractive shade of laven- 
der. The individual florets are 
unusually large. 
8 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. 


GEN. VON HEUTZ. Immense great flowers of a brilliant salmon-red 
color with a pure white center. 
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 grow- 
ing habits. 
LILLIAN. One of the most popular of all Phlox. A lovely pure pink 
without any trace of magenta or rose and with distinct tracings of 
blue around the center. Very large florets and a profuse bloomer.

MARY LOUISE. The individual florets are twice as large as those of 
any other white Phlox. The best white Phlox to date. 
PINK CHARM. A clear, very bright pink, in compact trusses on many 
medium height stems. A strong, healthy grower. You will like it. 
R. P. STRUTHERS. We consider this variety one of the most satisfac- 
tory. Very hardy and a splendid bright red or a deep rose-pink. This 
is a variety that always winters well.

tremely large, the plant is strongly branched, and of medium height. 
SALMON BEAUTY. One of the finest and most colorful of all Phlox.

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.

HOW TO PLANT 
Plant so that the crown is 
just beneath the surface and 
use plenty of water when 
planting 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. 
CARE OF PHLOX 
Water heavily during dry spells. 
The flowers should not ba allowed 
to go to seed. Cut the first 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.
