Grand Hardy Phlox 



Phlox decussat.^ 



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 excellence 

 and beauty. Plants are of vigorous, stocky habit, blooming incessantly from early summer until autumn, with mag- 

 nificent heads of bloom, often eight to ten inches long, by six to eight inches across; and of a great range of cclor 

 — 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.
