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; 

 and flowering through a long season; and while they will con- 

 tinue in good condition and flower freely for many years 

 without attention, yet they respond quickly to and are im- 

 proved by liberal cultivation.
