Laphami. A new form of the popular early 
spring-flowering Phlox. Flowers are 
larger, clear blue, and very freely pro- 
duced on 8 to 10-inch stems. It is much 
easier to grow than the old form. Ex- 
cellent for shade as well as sun. 60c each; 
3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75; 12 for $4.85. 
PLEASE NOTE: Postal and express rates have 
been increasing for the past few years, and 
only last October 1, 1953, postal rates went up 
25% more. This makes it impossible for us to 
absorb all the transportation cost as we have 
in the past and still maintain the same prices 
and our usual high standard of products. In- 
stead of raising prices, we decided to ask our 
customers to send a few cents extra with the 
order, and help to absorb part of the trans- 
portation cost. 
HOW MUCH TO SEND: On all orders less 
than and up to $5.00 add 50c for postage. All 
orders over $5.00, send 50c plus 5c for each 
additional dollar over $5.00.
