Dreer's Hardy Phlox 



Six Magnificent New Varieties 



Among the hardy perennial plants no class is of more importance 

 than Phlox. The plants succeed in almost any soil and position, 

 and they flower through a long season. While they will continue 

 in good condition and bloom freely for many years without atten- 

 tion, they respond quickly to and are improved by cultivation. 



This collection embraces the finest Novelties selected from hun- 

 dreds of varieties from noted specialists. Each one is a strong 

 grower producing immense panicles composed of large Individual 

 blooms, which are pure in color, unsurpassed in every way and 

 up to date.

 eye. Best of the calico type; no fading nor suffusion of colors.

Outstanding New Sorts of

 der, and invaluable 

 for carpeting the 

 ground in sunny lo- 

 cations.

Blue Hill, Of compact growth producing in early spring and 

 late fall a splendid display of showy pale blue flowers. One of the 

 best and surely a most distinct type and color.

 bular flowers not unlike a gi- 

 gantic heather.
