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



HARDY 



One of the most popular and important of 

 hardy plants, widely known and highly esteemed. 

 None are more satisfactory, either in the border 

 or for cutting. The skill of hybridizer has greatly 



perfected the Phloxes of to-day, which are 

 models of excellence and beauty. Plants are of 

 vigorous, stocky habit, blooming incessantly 

 from early summer until autumn, with magnifi- 

 cent 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 delicate 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 

 profuse bloomers, selected from a large collection 

 of the choicest varieties in cultivation. For 

 convenience in making a selection. I have divided 

 them into four color classes. 



Autumn is the best season of all the year 

 for planting Hardy Phlox.
