EDWARD GIL LETT’S CATALOGUE. 
HYBRID PHLOX. 
The old lilac and purple colored varieties have given way to these beautiful hy¬ 
brid sorts of distinct and brilliant shades of pink, red, salmon, rose, either in dis¬ 
tinct colors, or in combination with some other. There seems to be no class of hardy 
plants where the imagination of the hybridizer has been outdone in nature more 
thoroughly than in these Hybrid Hardy Phlox of recent introduction. They form 
large clumps and should be in every collection. I oiler them in the following named
