DREER'S SUPERB HARDY PHLOXES 



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

 flowering through a long season; 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. 



Dreer's New Hardy Phlox 



This collection embraces the finest Novelties, selected from hundreds of 

 varieties from noted specialists, each one of which is a strong grower, with 

 immense panicles of individual bloom, pure in color and unsurpassed, in 

 every way up to date. 



Flora J. Riedy (Tall). A new variety of American introduction, of tall 

 sturdy upright growth and enormous panicles of purest white flowers; free 

 branching habit and distinct heavy dark green foliage retained through- 

 out the season. 



George Stipp (Tall). A tall strong grower producing broad trusses 

 of a bright salmon-rose with lighter shadings in the centre and 

 dark crimson eye. 

 Karl Foerster (Tall). In color similar to the old time favorite 

 "Coquelicot," the latter a weak grower, but whose color has never 

 been equaled in red Phloxes. This newer variety combines the 

 brilliancy of the older variety, a rich glowing orange-scarlet, with 

 large trusses of flowers carried on strong upright stems. 

 New Bird (Dwarf). Deep crimson-red, almost vermilion, and purple 

 eye. The flower heads are carried well above the foliage in well 

 branched spikes. A very brilliant and excellent variety, one of the 

 best of this color. 

 Painted Lady (Tall). This delicate colored sort is one of the most 

 pleasing in our entire collection. Strong upright growth and large 

 masses of flower heads. Silver pink, with salmon shadings and 

 cherry red eye. 

 Professor Went (Dwarf). One of the finest dark colored varieties, with 

 large flower heads of rich satiny amaranth. A superb color when planted 

 in connection with white or light colored flowers. 

 Rosenkavalier (Medium) . Very large individual floiets arranged in massive 

 heads. An attractive lively rose color makes this one of the outstanding 

 novelties in newer hardy Phlox. 

 Price. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts for $3.00.
