DREER'S 

 Superb Hardy Phlox 



Among hardy perennial plants no class is of more im- 

 portance 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.

and color combinations, many of the shades being entirely
