HARDY PHLOXES 



Among hardy herbaceous plants none are more gorgeous and more easily grown than these. They are perfectly hardy, succeeding in 

 any garden soil, and producing magnificent spikes of showy and lasting flowers year after year, with comparatively little care. They 

 are the main standby for garden color through the difficult month of August, and carry their pinks and crimsons well among the purples 

 and bronze-yellows of autumn. 2,1^ to 3 ft.
