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. 

 Mrs. Ely says: 



"The best effects to be had with Phlox are produced by planting 

 masses of each color, not less than si.x and even as many as two 

 dozen or more plants of one color together. For example, a border 

 of Phlox may be planted, beginning with palest pink and shading 

 up to dark cherry, then pure white, and white with a red eye, and 

 more white, then a quantity of red and again white at the end. If in 

 another border the shades of purple are planted with occasional 

 bunches of white, the Phlox will be the pride of the garden."
