Phlox Decussala 
HARDY SUMMER PHLOX 
FREE: ONE PHLOX WITH EACH ORDER OF 4. 
This season we are especially proud of our beautiful Phlox. Their dazzling colors 
have stopped many a car on the Washington-Baltimore Boulevard and drawn them in 
for a closer view—and this in the middle of July and August, too. 
People from all over the country come and proclaim that they have never seen the 
like in brilliant bright red, deep pink, purple, snow white, watermelon pink, etc. 
They 
usually end up by taking home one or more plants to brighten up their own gardens 
during those hot months when it is more difficulf to keep Perennials blooming... 
Why not try a few yourself? 
show all summer.
