HARDY PHLOXES. 



We are called upon to put in a bed of 

 hardy phlox. The customer would like 

 varieties that would give blooms from 

 early summer until late in fall. Would 

 that make a pretty bed in a front yard 

 on a prominent street? Will you kindly 

 advise us as to the varieties to use and 

 the preparation of the soil? They do 

 not have to be the latest varieties; some 

 good, old, reliable sorts will do. 



F. & F. 



In the way of hardy herbaceous peren- 

 nials there is no more satisfactory and 

 persistent flowering genus than the 

 phloxes. The soil should be deeply 

 trenched, not less than two feet, and. 

 liberally manured. Well rotted animal 

 manure is better than any chemical fer- 

 tilizer. A bed of phlox, unlike one of 

 geraniums or cannas, will last for some 

 years and produce a splendid show with 

 little care. A liberal mulch of rotted 

 manure each fall and frequent stirring 

 of the surface soil will kfeep the plants in 

 a satisfactory condition. If the land is 

 deeply spaded, they will stand quite a 

 severe drought Avithout suffering any ill 

 effects, but a soaking of water occasion- 

 ally in dry weather will benefit them 

 greatly. 



The best early phlox — and, in my opin- 

 ion, the finest of the whole family — is 

 Miss Lingard, white with a pink eye; 

 this starts to flower in June and will 

 persist until sharp frost. Some other 

 reliable sorts are: Le Cygne and F. G. 

 Von Lassburg, pure white; Coquelicot, 

 scarlet; R. P. Struthers, rosy carmine, 

 crimson eye; Tapis Blanc, very dwarf, 

 pure white, fine for edging; Eclaireur, 

 carmine, salmon pink eye; Pantheon, car- 

 mine rose; Saison's Lierval, white, deep 

 rose eye; Lumineau, carmine, suffused 

 salmon. All the foregoing are inexpen- 

 sive varieties. C. W. 



Newark, N. J. — A hothouse belonging 

 to Theodore Kemper, at Union and Lyon 

 avenues, was recently damaged by fire 

 to the extent of about $200.
