SUPERB PERENNIAL PHLOXES Large, field-grown plants, strong and vigorous; sure to make a magnificent show early next summer. These new varieties are in bloom from June until frost, and the individual florets are twice the size of the old-time Phlox, and the shades of color the brightest, richest and clearest. There are no finer or more useful perennials than the Perennial Phloxes, or which will give more com- plete satisfaction. The varieties we offer are new and fine, and the plants we send out will bloom magnifi- cently the coming summer. They are cheap and we hope that all our customers will plant them, Pyramidal White—A plant of sturdy, compact growth, bearing- enormous pyramidal panicles of great snow- while blossoms. Pyramidal Crimson—Like the above, with same great blossoms, but of brightest crimson color. The two sorts contrast finely. They bloom all summer long, and are equal to Hydrangeas in majestic beauty. Pyramidal Oculata—White, large crimson eye. Pyramidal Lavender—Delicate lavender; white center. Pyramidal Rose—Large, bright rose. Pyramidal Blush—Blush-tinted; extra large and fine. Pyramidal Wine-Red—Splendid deep, rich wine-red. Pyramidal Striped—White and crimson, beautifully . striped and variegated. Phlox PHLOX SUBULATA PHLOX SUBULATA These are the beautiful Moss Pinks, so early and so fine, having a creeping habit. Subulata Pink—One of the finest of low, turfy-growing plants, fine for carpeting under trees, around rock- work, edging beds, etc. Early in spring is very showy with its cloud of pink blossoms. Once planted will take care of itself. Subulata White—Like above but pure white in color. Candioans Blue—A superb, compact-growing Phlox which throws numerous flower stems, each crowned with a cluster of large blue blossoms. It is a novel color in Phloxes as well as a very beautiful one. Plants also bloom very early in spring. 20c each; the 3 for 50c; $1.50 per doz.
