Dreer’s Hardy Phlox 
. Six Magnificent New Varieties 
Among the hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance 
than Phlox. The plants succeed in almost any soil and position, 
and they flower through a long season. While they will continue 
in good condition and bloom freely for many years without atten- 
tion, they respond quickly to and are improved by cultivation. 
This collection embraces the finest Novelties selected from hun- 
dreds of varieties from noted specialists. Each one is a strong 
grower producing immense panicles composed of large individual 
blooms, which are pure in color, unsurpassed in every way and
