SIR JOHN FALSTAF (Another English 
Triumph—A giant among Phlox and 
unquestionably the most outstanding 
variety we have seen. It is so far in ad- 
vance of all others that we predict it 
will retain the lead for a very long time 
to come. Color is a rich luminous sal- 
mon-pink, one of the loveliest colors in 
the floral pageant of summer., Individu- 
al “pips”? are larger than a five-shilling 
piece, about 1% inches in diameter. The 
flower truss is truly massive—there is 
no other Pholx comparable,in size. Sir 
John Falstaff has a first-class habit 
and a constitution as befits ‘the name— 
robust, vigorous, with sturdy ‘stems and 
bold substantial foliage. » And as. to 
erowth—it is one of the most accom- 
modating we know. Height 24 to 36 
inches depending on soil conditions.
