Hardy Phlox 



Dreer's New Hardy Phlox 



This collection embraces the finest Novelties, selected from hundreds of 

 varieties from noted specialists, each one of which is a strong grower, with 

 immense panicles of individual bloom. 



Flora J. Riedy (Tall). A new variety of American introduction, of tall 

 sturdy upright growth and enormous panicles of purest white flowers; 

 free branching habit and distinct heavy dark green foliage retained through- 

 out the season. 



^ George Stipp (Tall). A tall strong grower producing broad trusses 

 of a bright salmon-rose with lighter shadings in the centre and dark 

 crimson eye. 



Karl Foerster (Tall). In color similar to the old time favorite 

 "Coquelicot," the latter a weak grower but whose color has never 

 been equaled in red Phloxes. This newer variety combines the 

 brilliancy of the older variety, a rich glowing orange-scarlet, with 

 large trusses of flowers carried on strong upright stems. 



Miss Ethel Pritchard (Dwarf). A delightful French mauve, sim- 

 ilar to our native Phlox Divaricata Canadensis, the color of which 

 is so much admired in our early spring flowers. A strong grower, 

 its unique color makes it a desirable addition to every collection 



New Bird (Dwarf). Deep crimson-red, with purple eye. The flower heads 

 are carried well above the foliage in well branched spikes. A very brilliant 

 and excellent variety, one of the best of this color. 

 Painted Lady (Tall). This delicate colored sort is one of the most pleasing 

 in our entire collection. Strong upright growth and large masses of flower 

 heads. Silver pink, with salmon shadings and cherry red eye. 

 Professor Went (Dwarf). One of the finest dark colored varieties, with 

 large flower heads of rich satiny amaranth. A superb color when planted in 

 connection with white or light colored flowers. 

 Price. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts for $3.00.
