HARDY PHLOXES 



PHLOX 



Are of vigorous habit, easy culture and produce in great 

 profusion during a long season, flowers of fine form and sub- 

 stance and of bright and varied colors. As regards their cul- 

 ture, 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 succession of young plants from cuttings by secur- 

 ing 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.
