SELECT HARDY PHLOX 



One of the finest autumn flowers. It is of vigoroiis habit, easy culture, and produces in great pro- 

 fusion 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 everj^ 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 securing 

 a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and for- 

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