PHLOX— (Hardy.) 
This is another hardy perennial in which we are special- 
izing, and no betler collection c;ii) be found in the entii'e 
,\orlhwJCst ttian those offered. They will succeed in almost 
any soil and location, yet no class of hardy plants will bet- 
ter repay a little attention. Give Ibeni well spaded and en- 
riched soil, with a good mulchin? of fertilizer in the early 
spring frequent waterings in the growing season, and Ihey 
will produce entii-mnus heads of brilliant bloom. Treated 
in this manner, and they will be one of the chief attivic- 
tions of any hardy bunler.
