PHLOXES 
NEW DWARF, LARGE-FLOWERED 
The new dwarf, large-flowered perennial phloxes 
have been so improved that they are now attract¬ 
ing the attention they deserve, and we know of no 
other class of hardy plants which will give so 
much satisfaction. They flower early in July, 
blooming the entire summer, in large clusters or 
panicles, in many shades of pleasing colors, both 
“self” and variegated. They deserve, and do 
best, in rich soil, in full sunlight. They are en¬ 
tirely hardy, and increase in beauty and vigor 
from year to year, being improved by occasional 
transplanting. Below we give a grand assortment, 
the cream of a large collection.
