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. 
t'‘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 1% inches in diameter and are exceptionally long last- 
ing on the plant.

stems. Individual flowers large, keeping their color in heat and rain.

clean foliage flowering August and September. 2% to 3 feet high. 
tMeis Copijn—Pure clear pink Phlox with carmine eye that produces 
massive trusses of flowers throughout the summer season. This par- 
ticular 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 land- 
scape. This is a variety we can heartily recommend. August-Sep- 
tember. 
tMiss Lingard—This is known as the early flowering Phlox, since it 
comes into flower in May and continues to flower continuously until 
October, or the very heavy frost 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.

flowers are sparkling and vibrant and have good carrying qualities. 
The plant is robust, medium-tall and blooms mid-season to late. 
tProgress—tThe individual flower is lavender suffused on the white 
petals with a pronounced purple eye. Mass planting produces a soft 
lavender effect. 2% to 3 feet.

ings.

ranged to form a huge cap of snowy white. Strong stem, medium

sistant.

lighter in mass effect than General Chanzy. Has unusual gardenesque 
value.

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 gar- 
den and we cannot too strongly recommend everyone to try at least 
a few plants of this remarkable perennial.

duplicate of the blue variety in every way except that the flowers 
are pure white.

feet. July to October.
