We may well be proud of this distinctively Amer- ican flower, for it is extremely beautiful, neat in growth and an extraordinary bloomer. The newer sorts of Phlox are so tar ahead of the older varieties that we have discarded all the latter, and offer none but those beautiful new ones of re- cent introduction. The Phlox make beautiful ribbon beds when different colors are sown side by side, and are also grand for masses of solid color. Per pkt. Mixed—Thirty different colors. Fine for large beds and masses.
