Beautiful Hardy Perennial Phloxes. 
Field-grown plants ready for Fall delivery, 
except where noted, 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen, 
$10.00 per 100. 
The beauty and usefulness of these grand border 
plants give to them a deservedly first place among 
hardy plants. For cutting their large trusses go a 
long way in floral decorations. In color they range 
from pure white to the richest crimson and purple, 
and from soft rose and salmon to bright coral red, 
all having a delicate fragrance. Perennial Phloxes 
succeed in almost any soil enriched with manure, 
but are much benefited by a mulching of decom¬ 
posed manure in Spring, and in hot weather an 
occasional soaking of water. If the first spikes of 
bloom are removed as soon as over and the plant 
given a good soaking of water, they will produce a 
second supply of flowers, thus continuing the dis¬ 
play until late in Autumn. These later blooms are 
often finer than the first.
