HARDY PHLOXES 



Among hardy herbaceous plants none are more gorgeous and more easily grown than these. They are perfectly hardy, succeeding 

 in any garden soil, and producing magnificent spikes of showy and lasting flowers year after year, with comparatively little care. 

 They are the main standby for garden color through the difficult month of August, and carry their pinks and crimsons well 

 among the purples and bronze-yellows of autumn. 2}^ to 3 ft.
