P Pool Bordered with Sedum, Dragon’s Blood 
Give Host Beautiful Variettes of Htardy Phlox 
Charles Curtis 
—the most brilliant Phlox in cultivation 
The color is outstanding and difficult to describe. Sunset- 
red probably comes nearest to it. It is a fine strong grower 
about 2% to 3 feet tall, has good clean foliage. The flower 
head is large and unusually clear and sparkling due to the fact 
that the flowers do not discolor in the sun or fade with age. 
A brilliant and colorful companion for Mary Louise. 
A single plant of this magnificent Phlox was discovered in 
our nurseries 5 years ago growing in a large bed of what is now 
one of the most popular red varieties. Phlox Charles Curtis in 
our opinion is the finest of its color and will replace, as soon 
as better known, all those of similar shades. 
Per 3, $1.75; per doz., $5.00; per 100, $30.00. 
—the finest white—as white as Carrara Marble 
Pure white heads of unusually large size, reminding one of 
Carrara marble, the individual flowers are twice as big as other 
white Phlox. A perfectly beautiful variety; unquestionably the 
best white to date. The favorite in English gardens. It is a good 
grower with clean foliage and an unusually prolific bloomer. 
Of medium height. 
Per 3, $1.75; per doz., $5.00; per 100, $30.00. 
Olympia (Plant Patent No. 527) 
Augusta (Plant Patent No. 252) 
—the finest American-Beauty-red Phlox ever introduced 
A strong-growing plant of medium height, about 21% feet 
when fully grown, with rich, bronzy green foliage and stem. 
Color is best described as a brilliant cherry-red, not quite as 
deep as Beacon and much more intense and sparkling. The 
young florets at opening show a decided amount of orange. 
The color remains perfect under all weather conditions. Augusta 
is a beautiful vivid colored variety of exceptional growth and 
qualities, and will eventually replace all other varieties of simi- 
lar shade. Per 3, $1.75; per doz., $5.00; per 100, $30.00. 
Columbia (Plant Patent No. 118) 
—the finest light pink Phlox ever introduced 
The color suggests a delicate cameo-pink with faint blue 
shading at center. 
The clearness of tone is remarkable, the brilliancy is so pro- 
nounced that immediate attention is given to this wonderful 
plant. As the flower ages, the blooms always retain their deli- 
cate pink shade; there never are any magenta tones visible. 
Out of each leaf joint grows a lateral or secondary flower 
spike continuing the display of blooms long after the main 
flower head has disappeared. Columbia is, therefore, well called 
the ‘‘perpetual flowering’ Phlox. 
Per 3, $1.75; per doz., $5.00; per 100, $30.00. 
Olympia Phlox is the forerunner of a new strain of Phlox. It is a rugged variety! Grows 
ground. 
The flower heads are big but open and airy, 
about 3 to 5 feet high, depending on soil conditions. Stems are thick and strong, one-half inch 
in diameter at base and foliage entirely without mildew, a dark rich green right down to the 
florets large and brilliantly colored. At opening 
the florets are white with large, irregular, deep, velvety, fiery red centers. This fiery red 
marking spreads over the greater part of the bloom as it ages. At a distance, the effect is a bril- 
liant rose. Without doubt the best Phlox of its kind to date. It is a beautiful, bold and stately 
plant. Each, 65c; per 3, $1.85; per doz., $5.50; per 100, $35.00. 
Please Note: Phlox Olympia does not have big or many roots but grows easily. 
Most Beautiful Hardy Phlox Collection: 2 each of above 5 varieties for $5.00.
