DREER'S SUPERB 

 HARDY PHLOX 



Among hardy perennial plants no class is of more impor- 

 tance 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.
