I was on my way to my office one April morn- ing, when 1 saw on a neighbor's lawn great masses of the lovely blue bloom of this Phlox, of which I had long wished to secure some plants. I walked into the grounds intending to ask for some, and was met by a very pompous-looking gardener, whose manner irri- tated me so that instead of asking for the plants I asked the name of them.

Phlox Divaricata Canadensis One of our native varieties that is but rarely met •with, and which has been introduced in Europe the past few years as a novelty. A plant that is certain to meet with much favor when better known, as nothing can produce such a cheerful corner in the garden in very early spring. Frequently beginning to bloom early in April, it continues until about the middle of June, with large bright lilac-colored flowers, which are pro- duced on stems about 10 inches high, in large showy heads, and are very fragrant. Extremely fine for naturalizing in the woods and shady places. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $G per Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page ima
