Dreer's Superb Hardy Phlox 



47 



Among hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance than 

 the Phloxes, succeeding in almost any soil and position; and flowering 

 through a long season; and while they will continue in good con- 

 dition and flower freely for many years without attention, yet they 

 respond quickly to and are improved by liberal cultivation.
