HARDY PHLOX. 



One of the finest autumn flowers. It is of vigorous habit, easy culture, and produces in great profusion during a long season 

 flowers of fine form and substance, and of bright and varied colors. As regards their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed 

 in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occasional supply of liquid manure during 

 the growing season will greatly increase the size of their trusses. When in flower they should be watered freely every evening. The 

 Phlox usually flowers in July and August, and in order to render it autumnal flowering, it is necessary to pinch the shoots about the 

 first of June and again in July. The plants will then flower in September. For early flowers some of the plants may be left unpinched. 

 When two years old the finest trusses are produced. The third year the plants flower tolerably well, but they will not keep thrifty and 

 healthy after that. The old plants should then be lifted in the fall, divided and transplanted. But the better plan is to keep up a suc- 

 cession of young plants from cuttings by securing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties 

 of home and foreign production. The best time to plant them is in the autumn. Our plants are large and fine.
