Varieties, Perhaps in no previous season have Phloxes 

 been finer than in the summer and autumn of 1888. They 

 grew most vigoronely, producing long, branched spikes 

 of richly-coloured, brilliant flowers. The late-floweriiig- 

 varieties have quite superseded the early -flowering section 

 in the drier and warmer climate of the South of England ; 

 but the Siiffruiicosa section are much esteemed in the 

 cooler, moister districts of the North. The Decussata 

 varieties are also more nnmerons, but it may be fairly 

 said they are too numeroaa. Of good and distinct forms 

 that have been recently introduced, the beat are here 

 given.
