NEW HARDY PHLOX ARENDSI A New Race of Phloxes, P. Arendsi, At the great international exhibition held in London in May, 1912, •where this new type of Phlox received an award of merit, no other •new plant in the Hardy Perennial class attracted such great atten- tion. This new type originated through the successful crossing of the early-flowering popular Phlox Divaricata Canadensis with the showy hardy herbaceous varieties of Phlox Decussata. The plants are of vigorous, branching habit, growing, according to the variety, from twelve to twenty-four inches high. Coming into flower dur- ing the latter part of May, they continue in good condition for nearly two months. From a large number of varieties, the introducer has selected for us six of the most distinct sorts. Amanda. The dwarfest of the collection growing but 12 inches high, very bushy, flowers delicate lilac with deeper centre. Charlotte. Grows eighteen to twenty-four inches high, flowers very large, pale lilac shaded pink, with a prominent dark eye; one of the best. Crete. Plant of very branching habit, twenty inches high, pro- ducing great masses of medium-sized white flowers. Helene, Of a beautiful lavender-blue color, similar to Divaricata Canadensis. Shapely plant, fifteen to eighteen inches high. Kasthe. Stems loosely branched, about twenty inches high, flow- ers purplish-rose, with a dark eye, surrounded by a lighter halo. Lulse. A strong-growing variety, about two feet high, light lilac flowers with a carmine eye. Price. 15 cts. each; $ per dozen; $ per 100. Early Flowering Hardy Phloxes (P. Suffruticosa). While this type does not contain the rich colors which are a feature of the other well-known sorts, it is invaluable on account of coming into bloom in May, or fully six weeks earlier than the others, and continuing throughout the season
