Hardy Phlox. 



GENERAL COLLECTION 



DREER'S 

 Superb Hardy Phlox. 



Among hard)- perennial plants no class is of more impor- 

 tance 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. Those who wish to grow 

 Phloxes to the greatest perfection would do well to follow the 

 directions given by Mrs. Helena Rutherfurd Ely and which 

 appear in our Garden Book for 1909.
