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 beau- 

 tiful varieties' now in cultivation. No plant is more attractive or 

 more useful, either for the adornment of the garden or for sup- 

 plying cut flowers. 



The gardener's art has succeeded wonderfully in producing 

 varieties' which are marvels of beauty, both as to size of blossoms 

 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 in- 

 crease rapidly in size, not in height so much, which is from 2 to 

 3 feet, but in the number of flower stems, which multiply year 

 after year. 



We offer below twenty-five of the choicest varieties, which 

 will give a succession of bloom from June to August. 

 Albatros — Pink, shaded purple. 

 Andreas Hoffer — Pure white. 

 Boule de Feu — Bright salmon, crimson eye.
