PHLOX 
TALL VARIETIES

in any airy place in good garden soil and keep 
them well watered in late summer. Cut off 
flower heads before they go to seed.

twice as large as in any other variety. Medium 
height; prolific bloomer. 
Progress. A magnificent rich lavender-blue 
with the eye a deeper blue. Very large florets 
in large heads. Extremely sturdy. 
Prime Minister. Tall stately plants with large 
heads of snow white florets with a red eye. 
Salmon Beauty. Clear salmon-pink with white 
eye. Decidedly superior to other varieties of 
this color.

65c each; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00. 
SPIDER-MITE (Aramite) 
Dust or Spray 
During hot dry weather, the leaves of phlox may 
turn brown because of red spiders or spider-mites 
which are almost microscopic but suck juices from 
the leaves. 
Start spraying early with SPIDER-MITE to keep 
your plants green and healthy.

Creeping Phlox is one of the showiest flowers 
in the spring garden 
CREEPING PHLOX (Phlox subulata) 
One of the most popular low growing perennials 
blooming in early spring with tulips and other 
spring bulbs. Colors of the new varieties are a 
great improvement over the vivid magenta 
from which they were bred. Very effective as 
borders, at the front of perennial beds or in 
rock gardens and stone walls. The foliage re- 
mains green all winter. 6 in. 
Subulata alba. This variety spreads into shining 
evergreen mats which are completely covered 
with white blooms in early spring. A perfect 
foil for bright colored, low growing perennials. 
Blue Hill. Lovely soft “‘blue’’ which is especially 
effective when planted with the more vivid col- 
ors of creeping phlox. Blooms in the early 
spring and often produces some flowers again 
in the fall. 
Crimson Beauty. A new and brilliant color in 
creeping phlox. Individual florets which are 
very large are a deep cyclamen-red with a 
deep carmine center. 
Any of the creeping phlox: 
60c each; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.30. 
PRIMROSE (Polyanthus—English Cowslip) 
Primula veris, Mixed Colors. These gay border 
flowers blooming in early spring are easy to 
grow and increase so rapidly that they should 
be divided every two years in August. Will grow 
in sun, but prefer some shade. Our mixture 
contains shades of yellow, orange, red and com- 
binations of these colors. 9 in. 
55c each; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $4.75. 
For Primrose seed, see page 60. 
There are few flowers that bring so much cheer 
in early spring as Primroses.
