COLLECTION OF BEST 



HARDY PHLOXES. 



We grow each season more than half a million plants cf Hardy 

 Phloxes in over one hundred varieties, and while all of the sorts 

 offered are well worth growing, we realize that the average ama- 

 teur only wishes a limited number of sorts, but wants these to 

 be the best. It is to meet this want that we offer below what 

 we consider to be the best dozen standard sorts, each one of 

 which is a strong grower, with immense panicles of large indi- 

 vidual blooms, pure in color and strictly first-class in every
