 very fine and quite distinct from any heretofore offered, others of only ordinary merit. We have 

 taken great p iins in testing them, to weed out the indifferent sorts, and can now offer a superb 

 collection. For list of varieties and prices see our General Catalogue. 



SELECT 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 un pinched. 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 

 belter plan is to keep up a succession of young plants from cuttings by securing a fresh collec- 

 tion every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign pro- 

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