Dreer's Hardy Phloxes. 



The hardy Phloxes are without doubt the most important 

 of all hardy perennials, and are now to be found in almost 

 every garden. They succeed in almost any kind of soil or 

 position, and flower from early summer until late in the 

 fall ; they also improve from year to year, and contain a 

 range of brilliant colors not found in any other hardy plant. 



We have the finest collection, and are the largest growers
