Ne\V Pereppial phloxes. 
Those who remember t.he thin petaled white and the dull- 
hued purple Perennial Phlox of old fashioned gardens can 
scarcely recognize these new Phloxes as the same flower. 
These new varieties are in bloom from June until frost, and 
the individual florets are twice the size of the old time Phlox, 
and the shades of color the brightest, richest and clearest. 
There are no finer or more useful perennials than the Peren¬ 
nial Phloxes, or which will give more complete satisfaction. 
The varieties we offer are new and fine, and the plants we 
send out will bloom magnificently the coming summer. They 
are cheapand we hope that all our customers will plantthem.
