Phlox Thor 
HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 
One of the most valuable of flowers for summer bloom, 
giving unsurpassed mass effects in fine colors. 
Give a well prepared and enriched soil and plenty of water 
and where there is much summer heat, a mulch of manure or 
peat moss is invaluable to protect their sensitive surface 
roots. Plant 16 in. apart. Here are unsurpassed old varieties 
and some of the finest new ones.

crops. Please state if we may substitute equally fine varieties 
in similar colors if a variety is sold out. 
PHLOX DIVARICATA. Blue Phlox. Commencing to flower 
in April and here continuing into summer, the 10-inch 
stems bear airy clusters of quite large fragrant, clear soft 
blue flowers. Ior some unknown reason we never grew 
this until a year ago and we find it one of the most charm- 
ing subjects as do all visitors. Sun, or best light shade 
and here a well drained but moistened soil rich in humus 
suits it best. Each 40 cts.; 3 for $1.10. 
*ASTER Alpinus Goliath. In my rock garden and 
border in May and June nothing more attracts 
visitors than its showy 2 in. discs of bluish violet 
flowers on erect 10 in. stems. The low leafy basal 
mats of foliage are always neat and thrives in a 
mellow loam soil. 30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 

ASTER, “Burbank’s Charming”. Little did I dream 
when I introduced this as a novelty in 1929 of its 
increasing popularity from year to year or of the 
joy it would bring to countless visitors here in 
late August and September. Its stout bushes are 
3-4 ft. tall, much branched with lovely arching 
one sided fan-like sprays of soft pink flowers; a 
stunning mass in any garden and most effective 
cut. 40 cts. each; 3 for $1.00.
