SlEBRECHT & WaDLEY's CATALOGUE OF 
PHLOXES, Continued. 
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 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 bettor plan is to keep up a suc- 
cession 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.
