ELLWANGER & BARRY 



HARDY PHLOXES 



Are of vigorous habit, easy culture and produce 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 wateredfreely 

 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 securing a fresh col- 

 lection 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.
