them it would be difficult to maintain the display of color during July and 
August when sometimes there is little else in bloom in the perennial border.

SIR JOHN FALSTAFF 
New giant-flowered Phlox and one of the 
best and most spectacular varieties to date. 
In our opinion, it ts far superior to all others 
and will undoubtedly remain the outstanding 
variety of its color for many years to come. 
In color it is a rich glowing salmon-pink. 
The mdividual florets are about the size of a 
half dollar; the flower truss is really immense. 
The growth of Str John Falstaff 1s excellent 
and it is of great vigor, with sturdy stems and 
beautiful foliage. Truly a well-named variety. 
Grows 24 to 30 inches high, depending on 
location and soil conditions. It is a “must”’
