HABDY PERENNIAL PHLOX. 



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 of 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. 



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 

 height so much, which is from 2 to 3 feet, but in thenumber of flower stems, 

 which multiply year after year. 



OUR PLANTS ARE WELL-GROWN AND STRONG. 

 We offer below twelve of the choicest varieties, which will give a suc- 

 cession of bloom from June to August.
