Dreer's Superb Hardy Phlox. 



Among the hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance than the Phloxes, succeeding in almost any position, and 

 flowering from early in July until late autumn; and while they will continue in good condition and flower freely for many years 

 without attention, yet they respond quickly to and are improved by liberal cultivation. 



To produce the most effective display they should be planted in mas--es of one color. We esjiecially recommend our 

 " Peerless" collection of six varieties shown on the plate opposite ; these cover the most distinct and wanted colors, but the entire 

 collection of G2 varieties represent the cream of over five hundred sorts, and are, without doubt, the choicest and most 

 distinct assortment that has ever been offered.
