J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. I. 



Qi'CLnd ^ard\f Phlox. 



Phlox Dkcussata. 



One of the most popular and important of Hardy I'erenuials. X()ne are more sarisfactor.x , either in 

 the border or for cutting. The sliill of the hybridizer has greatly perfected the Phloxes <,f today, 

 which are models of excellence and beauty. Plants • are of vigorous stocky habit. blooming incessantly 

 from early summer until autumn, with magnificent heads of Iiloom, 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. Those who omit 

 these superb flowers from their gardens miss a great pleasure. The named varieties in cultivation 

 run into the hundreds. Many of them are quite similar and to desribe them all would be to present 

 a list that would. 1 am sure, confuse many. I have, tlierefore. 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 emiirares everv desirable shade.
