bushel basket. The plant is perennial but is not hardy 
in the north. Pkt., 25e. Plants shipped in spring only.

MARY LOUISE. No larger flower has ever Been pro- 
i duced on any Phlox. The flowers are pure white with- 
out shadings of any description. They are so large that

year-old plants we found the silver disc wanting in size.

PINK CHARM. Bright clear pink with a darker 
sheen. Large florets in huge heads. Vigorous grower

ROYAL PURPLE. The color is so deep that only a 
royal purple can approach it in description. It is a 
rich, warm shade of reddish-purple, such as artists por- 
tray on the robes of royalty. An excellent variety that 
is aptly named.

ing color combination. The large flowers are deep 
salmon pink, but instead of having a ‘‘ring’’ or ‘‘eye,” 
the center is made up of two pure white ‘‘beams’’ cover- 
ing a third of each floret, gradually blending into the 
outer area of salmon-pink. <A beautiful sight.
