PHLOXES. 



Tall Choice Perennial Varieties. 



Hardy Phloxes have long been so popular that it is rare to find a garden without a collection of at least a few ot the many 

 beautiful varieties now in cultivation. No plant is more attractive or more useful, either for the adornment of the garden 

 or for supplying cut flowers. 



The gardener's art has succeeded wonderfully in producing varieties which are marvels of beauty, both as to size of blos- 

 soms and variety, richness and delicacy of color. 



To those not familiar with these plants we desire to say that they are perfectly hardy, and succeed well in almost any 

 kind of soil. Small plants are usually selected to start with, as they increase rapidly in size, not in neight so much, which is 

 from 2 to 3 feet, but in the number of flower stems, which multiply year after year. 



We offer below thirty-four of the choicest varieties, which will give a succession of bloom from June to August.
