HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX 



This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties 

 now offered make it especially desirable. These noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals, but 

 the cheerful appearance of our gardens during the summer and autumn months is much indebted to 

 them. They succeed in any position or soil, and can be used to advantage either as single specimens in 

 the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. To produce the best results, however, they should 

 have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of from two to three feet in 

 which to develop. They will continue to thrive for several years with little attention, as is attested by 

 the fine clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which they are cultivated, their entire hardiness 

 and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful coloring, make them espe- 

 cially valuable for garden planting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence to bloom in early summer, 

 and are brilliant with color until after several frosts have come. They are admirably adapted for ceme- 

 tery planting, also for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and unsightly objects.

 trusses, the ideal crimson Phlox; richest of its 

 color.

W. C. EGAN — One of the finest Phloxes yet intro- 

 duced, and while the individual flowers, according 

 to color chart, are of a delicate lilac, illuminated 

 by a large bright solferino eye, the color effect as 

 a whole is a pleasing shade of soft pink. In habit 

 of growth it is strong and vigorous, producing 

 immense panicles of flowers nine inches high by 

 seven across, and the individual flowers frequently 

 measure one and three-quarter inches in diameter.
