General Catalogue. 
SELECT HARDY PHLOX. 
One of the finest autumn flowers. It is of vigorous habit, easy culture, and produces in great profusion during 
along season, flowers of fine form and substance, and of brightand 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, itis 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 det 
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 foreign production. 
The best time to plant themisin the autumn. Our plants are large and fine. Price 25 cezts each ; $2.00 per dozen.
