J*hlox Decussata. 



With erect flower stems growing 3 to k feet high. 



One of the finest autumn flowers. It is of vig- 

 orous habit, easy culture, and produces in great 

 profusion during- a long- season, flowers of fine 

 form and substance, and of brig-ht and varied 

 colors. As reg-ards their culture, it may be briefly 

 stated that they succeed in any g-ood g-arden soil, 

 but they are greatly improved by being liberally 

 manured, and an occasional supply of liquid ma- 

 nure during the growing season will greatly in- 

 crease 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 neces- 

 sary 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 

 flnest 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 succession of young plants from cuttings by 

 securing a fresh collection every year. We annu- 

 ally introduce all new and desirable varieties of 

 home and foreign production.
