PHLOX—Hardy Perennial. 
We have an exceedingly choice collection of this fine old garden favorite, having 
made up our collection from over six hundred sorts. The new French varieties all 
carry very fine, distinct, pure colors, in great trusses, many of them beautifully 
shaded and marked, with very distinct, clear, light eyes. They require no care but 
dividing and resetting every second year. Their vigorous gr wth and freedom of 
bloom make them very useful plants, while they are nearly unexcelled in beauty. 
The improvement made in this beautiful class of plants is perhaps more marked 
than in any other section of the hardy herbaceous family. Instead of the thin flow¬ 
ers, which were limited to lilac and white colors, we now have gorgeous flowers, 
combining all the different tints of rose, carmine, red and purple, to say nothing of 
the pure whites and salmons with their distinct eyes. Perfectly hardy anywhere. 
If we lived in the Northwest, we should plant the Phlox extensively. Moreover, 
they bloom from July until severe frost. Be sure and try some of these beautiful 
Phlox.
