Dreer's Superb Hardy Phlox 



Among hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance 

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

 tinue in good condition and flower freely for many years without 

 attention, yet they respond quickly to and are improved by 

 cultivation.
