GRAND HARDY PHLOX. 



Phlox decussata. 



No hardy perennials are more satisfactory either in the border or for cutting than these Phloxes. The skill 

 of the hybridizer has greatly perfected the Phloxes in recent years, and the varieties of today are models of ex- 

 cellence 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 to eight inches across; and of a great range 

 of color 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 simi- 

 lar 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 dififerent 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.
