PHLOX DECUSSATA. 

 Hardy Garden Phlox. 



One of the most popular and important of liardy 

 plants, widely known and highly esteemed. None 

 are more satisfactory, either m the border or for 

 cutting. The skill of hybridizer has greatly per- 



fected the Phloxes of to-day, which are models of 

 excellence and beauty. Plants are of vigorous, 

 stocky habit, blooming incessantly from early Sum- 

 mer until frost, with magnificent panicles of bloom 

 of immense size— often eight and ten inches long 

 and from six to eight inches across — and of a great 

 range of color — from vivid scarlet to the most deli- 

 cate and purest of tints. They thrive in all soils, 

 but do best in one that is deep and rich. Those 

 who omit these superb plants from their gardens 

 miss a great pleasure. The varieties named are the 

 finest of their color, and the most reliable and pro- 

 fuse bloomers, selected from a large collection of 

 the choicest varieties in cultivation.
