Dreer's New Hardy Phlox 
This collection embraces the finest Novelties, selected from hun- 
dreds of varieties from noted specialists, each one of which is a strong 
grower, with immense panicles of individual bloom, pure in color and 
unsurpassed, in every way up to date. 
Flora J. Riedy. A new variety of American introduction, of 
tall sturdy upright growth and enormous panicles of purest 
white flowers; free branching habit and distinct heavy dark 
green foliage retained throughout the season. 
George Stipp. A tall strong grower producing broad trusses of 
a bright salmon-rose with lighter shadings in the center and dark 
crimson eye. 
Karl Foerster. In color similar to the old time favorite 
"Coquelicot," the latter a weak grower, but whose color has 
never been equaled in red Phloxes. This newer variety com- 
bines the brilliancy of the older variety, a rich glowing orange- 
scarlet, with large trusses of flowers carried on strong upright 
stems. 
New Bird. Deep crimson-red, almost vermilion, and purple eye. 
The flower heads are carried well above the foliage in well 
branched spikes. A very brilliant and excellent variety, one of 
the best of this color. 
Painted Lady. This delicate colored sort is one of the most pleasing 
in our entire collection. Strong upright growth and large masses of 
flower heads. Silver pink, with salmon shadings and cherry red eye. 
Professor Went. One of the finest dark colored varieties, with 
large flower heads of rich satiny amaranth. A superb color when 
planted in connection with white or light colored flowers. 
Rosenkavalier. Very large individual florets arranged in massive 
heads. An attractive lively rose color makes this one of the out- 
standing novelties in newer hardy Phlox. 
Price. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts for $3.00. 
Dreer's Superb Hardy Phloxes 
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 condition and flower freely for many years without attention, 
yet they respond quickly to and are improved by liberal cultivation.
