Phlox 
*Divaricata canadensis Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
One of our native species, worthy of extensive planting, blooms from 
early in April through May, with large, fragrant, lavender flowers on 
stems 10 inches high. In spring this plant is sold in pots to insure best 
results; in fall field-grown plants are best. Like shade. Very attractive 
in combination with Tulips or other early spring-flowering bulbs. We 
offer only fine nursery grown plants and not collected stock. 
Species 
Stolonifera, Blue Ridge Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
This creeping Phlox came to us from England a few years ago. It has 
been carefully tested for habit and winter hardiness at Mentor and we 
find it perfect in that respect as well as outstandingly beautiful. It 
creeps over the ground but sends up upright stems about 3 or 4 inches 
tall which carry on top a cluster of the handsomest blue flowers you 
have ever seen and a shade which cannot be reproduced accurately 
by printer’s ink. Here is a choice small plant for shady places in border 
foreground or rock garden. 
Papa ver (Oriemiale Oriental Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the royal representatives of this popular family. They have shown a 
remarkable increase in public favor in recent years because so many new and better colors have 
been added. Rich tints of rose, salmon-pink, white and lavender, as well as Indian-copper-red are 
now available besides the brilliant reds. Growing 3 to 3% feet in height, they contribute a rare 
splendor of bloom throughout the late spring. Plant them singly or en masse: they have a way of 
dominating, by their gorgeous display of rich and bright coloring and the splendor of blooms, that 
portion of your garden where they are placed. 
They flower in May and June, at which time their sheer burst of livid and brilliant colors render 
them without an equal. 
Culture: Almost any kind of soil suits them.
