HARDY PHLOX 



No class of hardy plants is more desirable than the Perennial 

 Phloxes. They will thrive in any position and can be used to 

 advantage in the hardy border, in large groups on the lawn, or 

 planted in front of belts of shrubbery, where, by judicious 

 pinching back and removing faded flowers, a constant succes- 

 sion of bloom may be had until frost, Except the dwarf 

 species, all Hardy Phloxes are admirably adapted to cutting.
