LOVELY HARDY PHLOX. 



No hardy perennials are more satisfactory in the border than these Phloxes. The skill of the hybridizer has 

 greatly perfected the Phloxes in recent years, and the varieties of today are models of excellence and beauty. Plants 

 are of vigorous, stocky habit, blooming incessantly from early summer until autumn, with magnificent heads of bloom, 

 often eight to ten inches long, by six tc eight inches across; and of a great range of colors — from vivid scarlet to the 

 most delicate tints and purest white. They thrive in all soils, but do best in one that is deep and rich. The named 

 varieties in cultivation run into the hundreds; many of them are quite similar and to describe them all would be to 

 present a list that would, I am sure, confuse many. I have, therefore, after long and careful study, selected the 

 following, all things considered, as the very best of the different colors and seasons. In a word, they are the cream 

 of the Hardy Phloxes and the list embraces every desirable shade. A special prize was awarded our Hardy Phlox by 

 the American Institute.
