Dreer's Superb Hardy Perennial Phloxes 



Among the hardy perennial plants no class is of more import- 

 ance 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 respond quickly to and are improved by liberal cultivation. 

 To grow Phloxes to the greatest perfection follow the directions 

 given on page 232 of our this year's Garden Book, written espe- 

 cially for us by Mrs. Ely, the author of "A Woman's Hardy 

 Garden." 



New Hardy Phloxes. 



The following varieties, all recent introductions, embrace not 



only new shades of color, but also form plants of strong, sturdy 



yet compact habit of growth which place them among the most 



desirable sorts, particularly for massing in large numbers.

 mauve, with crimson-carmine eye. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

 tinct; of remarkable sturdy, erect habit. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per
