DTWAWD UHI HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 2a 
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 
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. 
Mrs. Ely says: 
“The best effects to be had with Phlox are produced by planting 
masses of each color, not less than six and even as many as two 
dozen or more plants of one color together. For example, a border 
of Phlox may be planted, beginning with palest pink and shading 
up to dark cherry, then pure white, and white with a red eye, and 
more white, then a quantity of red and again white at the end. If in 
another border the shades of purple are planted with occasional 
bunches of white, the Phlox will be the pride of the garden.”
