Dreer’s Superb Hardy Perennial Phloxes 
Among the 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; they will continue in good condition and flower freely for many years without attention, yet they re- 
spond quickly to and are improved by liberal cultivation. 
To grow Phloxes to the greatest perfection follow the directions given on 
page 231 of our this year’s Garden Book, written especially for us by Mrs. Ely, the author of ‘“A Woman’s Hardy Garden.”
