HARDY PHLOX 
This glorious family of Hardy Perennials is, perhaps, the most widely 
known and popular of all of our 
HARDY GARDen PLAHTS, 
and each year adds new and showier varieties to the list through the hybrid- 
izer's skill. 
Certainly no perennial is more worthy of culture, more satisfactory in 
every situation or more effective, either as individual plants or grouped in 
masses. 
The range of flowering period is wide — from early spring until late 
Fall, — commencing with the dwarf forms, continuing through the Summer 
with the beautiful SUFFRUTICOSA, while in the Fall we have the grand 
heads produced by the tall and brilliant varieties of DECUSSATA. 
All are well adapted for cutting except the dwarf forms, and are excess- 
ively floriferous. The early dwarf sorts are unequaled for covering bare 
spots, which are soon covered by their rapid growth, thus transforming an 
unsightly place into a "thing of beauty." 
The perennial Phlox is one of the most satisfactory of garden ^plants. 
Their neat habit, brightness of flowers, profuseness of blooms and ease of 
culture make them favorites everywhere. 
The Phlox does best in a rich and rather moist soil. Let each clump 
have a space of two to three feet. They do not reach the highest perfection 
until the third or fourth year after planting. 
We have a large collection of the most distinct, beautiful and valuable 
kinds.
