HENRY A. DREER, 
Hardy Phlox 
Among the hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance 
. than Phlox. The plants succeed in almost any soil and position, 
and flower through a long season. While they will continue in 
good condition and flower freely for many years without attention, 
yet they respond quickly to and are improved by cultivation.
