NEW PERPETUAL PEREN- 
NIAL PHLOXES. 
We desire to call special attention to 
these elegant phloxes. In growth and 
foliage they are unlike other sorts, being 
dwarf and bushy. They commence bloom- 
ing in June and continue until frost, and are 
indeed charming. They produce their flow- 
ers in large panicles like a hydrangea, and 
the brilliant colors show to great advantage. 
They are perfectly hardy and should be 
left in the ground over winter, where they 
will increase in size and beauty each year. 
10 cents each.
