HARDY PHLOX 
If you want to add zest to your summer gardens, plant Phlox 
and plenty of them. Their brilliancy of color and long season 
of flower make them one of the most desirable of Perennials. 
+Chesapeake” (Patent)—An outstanding semi-dwarf Phlox 
not over 15 inches in height with large symmetrical trusses of 
flowers in a glorious shade of Tyrian Rose with a silvery white 
reverse on the underside of the petals. The individual florets on 
this most attractive Novelty are 14% inches in diameter and are 
exceptionally long lasting on the plant. A very compact grower 
branching from the base of the plant and the handsome, dark 
green, disease resistant foliage makes a splendid foil for the 
brilliant flower. This Phlox has unusual garden value if you 
are looking for a showy mid-summer subject. One of the best 
Perennials introduced in many years, and a fine Rock Garden 
subject, 
+Commander Koehl — Dark blood-red. Large clusters of 
strong, tall stems. Individual flowers large, keeping their color 
in heat and rain. Flowering July and August, 214 feet high. 
+Daily Sketeh—Extra large trusses and individual flowers; 
color light salmon-pink with very faint carmine-eye. An out- 
standing novelty. 
*-Flash—One of the newer introductions. Fine brilliant crimson. 
An asset to any garden that requires brilliancy. 
+Harvest Fire—Brilliant salmon orange. Very vigorous grower. 
One of the best Phlox varieties introduced in many years. 
+La Vague—The color of the florets shade from a bright pink 
to a mellow purple with a deep Tyrian pink eye. Heavy, broad 
green foliage adds to the beauty of this variety. 
Phlox “Chesapeake” 

+Leo Schlageter—Brilliant carmine with darker center; large 
trusses and a vigorous grower. 
+Lilliam—Very soft pink variety with pale blue eye which en- 
hances its beauty to a great extent. 
}+Mary Louise—Large heads of pure waxy white flowers. Indi- 
vidual flowers very large, the best white flowers to date. Good 
grower with clean foliage flowering August and September. 
21% to 3 feet high. 
tMeis Copijm—Pure clear pink Phlox with carmine eye that 
produces massive trusses of flowers throughout the summer sea- 
son. This particular variety has an excellent erect habit of 
growth and will be a delightful asset to any garden where it 
can be grown in clumps of two and three plants to make a 
very splashing effect on the landscape. This is a variety we can 
heartily recommend. Priee: $.75 eaeh, $7.50 per 
dozen.

*Niss Lingard—This is known as the early flowering Phlox, 
since it comes into flower in May and continues to flower con- 
tinuously until October, or the very heavy frosts injure it. 
Height, about 2 feet. Color, pure white. In early part of season 
will show a pink ring in the center which gradually fades out 
later in the season to a pure white variety. 
}Spitfire—The original name of this Phlox was Frau Van 
Mauthner but during the war when it was impossible to get in 
touch with other countries regarding the names they wished 
their varieties growing in this country to be called, it was dis- 
tributed by some firms as Spitfire and by others as Orange 
Beauty. The actual name of the variety is as given herewith 
and we do think in all justice to the introducer the difference 
in names should be explained to the customers at this time so 
if any of them are growing stock purchased under the name of 
Frau Van Mauthner or Orange Beauty they will know it is one 
and the same variety and that Spitfire is now the official name. 
tProgress—The individual flower is lavender suffused on the 
white petals with a pronounced purple eye. Mass planting 
produces a soft lavender effect. 
tSalmon Beauty—A rich salmon pink with large contrasting 
pink eye. Very soft in tone but positive in effect. The individual 
flowers are 114 to 2 inches across and the plants attain a height 
of about 30 inches. 
Salmon Glow—Lively flame-pink, with salmon shades, sof- 
tened with lilac and white tints at the center, the effect as a 
whole being a rich salmon. This new variety is extremely free 
flowering. July, throughout the season, 2 to 3 feet high. 
?Smoweap—Broad pyramidal panicle, the large florets effec- 
tively arranged to form a huge cap of snowy white. Strong 
stem, medium to tall, outstanding for the size and excellent 
form of panicle. Foliage disease resistant. 
Fhor—Deep salmon pink, suffused with a scarlet glow, some- 
what lighter in mass effect than General Chanzy. Has unusual 
gardenesque value, 
7 Pigress—A brilliant new coral-red shade with a golden sheen. 
21%, feet high. 
“PHLOX DIVARICATA 
A Perennial Phlox of pure lavender blue, growing to a height 
of 15 to 18 inches; unsurpassed as a border plant when planted 
in front of Darwin Tulips, since it flowers in May and con- 
tinues flowering until early July. 
No other garden flower blooming at this season shows this rare 
and beautiful color. 
A solid bed of Phlox is one of the most attractive sights in any 
garden and we cannot too strongly recommend everyone to try 
at least a few plants of this remarkable perennial 
“Phlox Divariecata Alba—The white form of the Phlox 
Divaricata. An exact duplicate of the blue variety in every way 
except that the flowers are pure white.
