«. Phlox should be shaded when in a frozen state, as the flower-buds are 
formed in autumn, and are injured by the sun in winter and spring. They 
may be propagated by dividing the roots after blooming for early flowering 
sorts, and in the spring for the late ones, and also from cuttings and seed.
