Forty-Four 
+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 distributed 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 ot Frau Van Mauthner or Orange Beauty 
they will know it is one and the same variety and that Spit- 
fire is now the official name. 
+Progress—The individual flower is lavender suffused on the 
white petals with a pronounced purple eye. Mass planting 
produces a soft lavender effect. 
+Purple Heart—A lively shade of deep blue purple intensified 
with a darker center. Large individual florets produced in 
massive trusses. A vigorous healthy grower and a decided 
asset to your Phlox plantings. 
+Salmon Beauty—A rich salmon pink with large contrasting 
pink eye. Very soft in tone but positive in effect. The indi- 
vidual flowers are 142 to 2 inches across and the plants at- 
tain 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. 
+Snowcap—Broad pyramidal panicle, the large florets effec- 
tively arranged to form a huge cap of snowy white. Strong 
stem, medium to tall, outstanding for size and excellent 
form. Foliage disease resistant. 
+Thor—Deep salmon pink, suffused with a scarlet glow, some- 
what lighter in mass effect than General Chanzy. Has un- 
usual gardenesque value. 
+Tigress—A brilliant new coral-red shade with a golden sheen. 
2% feet high.
