PHLOXES AT WISLEY, 1915. 



Report by C. C. Titchmarsh, Trials Officer. 



During the spring of 1914 four hundred and fifty-six stocks of Phloxes 

 were sent to Vvisley for trial. Two hundred and seventy-eight 

 varieties were represented, of which three belonged to the Suffruticosa 

 section. Twelve stocks tailed to grow, and three were found to be 

 mixed. With the exception of Nos. 381-456, which had only two plants 

 each, there were three plants of each variety. 



When received they were planted on well-cultivated ground 

 between the rows of apple and pear trees on the east side of the 

 American garden, the cultivation being under the charge of Mr. W. J. 

 Blakey, Assistant Superintendent. Notwithstanding the dry spring, 

 the plants made excellent growth and flowered well. They were 

 examined by the Floral Committee on July 23 and August 16. 



In this Report the plants are grouped in ten sections, under 

 popular colour names. The varieties are arranged in alphabetical 

 order in each section. The Roman numeral which follows each name 

 in the preliminary list indicates the section in which the description 

 of the variety will be found. The measurement given in feet after 

 the description of the plant is its height. 



The Committee selected the following varieties as the best in their 

 respective sections : — 



Class I. — Very good, highly decorative garden plants.
