NEW HARDY PHLOX, EDMOND ROSTAND 



Hardy Perennial Phloxes. 



We are the largest growers of Perennial Phlox in the world. Our 

 collection is unequalled, and we are prepared to furnish the new and 

 rare kinds as well as all the popular standard varieties in large quan- 

 tities. 



The plants we offer are all strong one-year-old field-grown plants 

 or equally strong divisions, and will make a fine display of flowers 

 this season. This stock is nil superior to and must not be con- 

 founded with young winter pro-,n -..led stock such as is generally sent 

 out in the spring of the year.
