HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOXES. 
These hardy Perennial Phloxes are very decorative ; their flowers are brilliant in colour and range from 
pure while to the richest crimsons, purples, and salmons. In growth, they are elegant and stately. Their 
culture is simple. They succeed in almost any soil and an open situation. A mulching of manure in spring is 
beneficial, and in very hot weather an occasional soaking of water.
