Hardy Perennial Phloxes 
The beauty and usefulness of these grand bonier plants give to them a deservedly first place among hardy plants. For cutting, their 
large trusses go a long way in Moral 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 decomposed manure in spring, and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water. If the first spike of 
bloom is removed as soon as over and the plant given a good soaking of water, they will produce a second supply of flowers, thus continu¬ 
ing the display until late in autumn. These later blooms are often finer than the first. 
The following varieties are a selection made by me in France, Germany, Holland and England, and include all the very best of the 
.new and old varieties.
