COLLECTIONS OF 



HARDY 



PHLOXES. 



A MONG the hardy perennial plants the Phloxes are probably the most important, succeeding in almost any posifion and 

 ^^- flowering from early in summer until late in the fall. They also improve from year to year, and contain a range of color 

 that cannot be found in any other hardy plant. It was with this in mind that we have this season selected " Phloxes" as one of 

 our most important color-plate subjects. 



Our collection is made up of the best new and standard varieties. The display of Phloxes which we made at the Pan-American 

 Exposition last summer was a special feature, and our exhibit, which to a great extent consisted of the varieties here offered, was 

 awarded a Silver Medal, which was the highest award for this class of plants. 



Our colored plate opposite shows six distinc.*, varieties, but the entire list of 31 varieties, as described on this page, will be found 

 equally interesting.
