BARR’S BEAUTIFUL HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOXES. 
SUMMER AND AUTUMNFL 0 WERIN 3 . 
1 he beauty and Usefulness of these grand border plants give to them a deservedly first place amongst lurdy 
plants. For cutting, their large trusses give abundance of material for floral decorations. In colour they 
range horn pure white to richest crimson and purple, and from soft rose and salmon to bright coral red, some 
having a sweet fragrance. These beautiful Perennial Phloxes form two sections— those which flower in June 
and July . which are comparatively dwarf in growth ; and the taller growing Phloxes, which bloom in August 
and September. Thus, by planting an assortment from both sections, a display of these charming flowers is 
maintained from June to September. Perennial Phloxes succeed in almost any soil or situation, and are much 
benefited by a mulching of decomposed manure in spring and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water 
is advisable.

LATE-FLOWERING PERENNIAL PHLOXES. — These are among the most important of autumn-flowering 
border plants, supplying a variety of light, bright, cheerful colours at a season when the prevailing tints of the 
garden are a little sombre. In growth they are stately and elegant, being 3 to 4 ft. in height. The flowers are 
huge and produced in branching heads, the colours ranging from pure whites to beautiful shades of salmon, 
rose, and crimson, and from delicate lilac to deep purple. They are decorative during August and September.

BARR’S BEAUTIFUL HARDY PYRETHRUMS. 
The Pyrethrum in May and June occupies the same position as that held by the Chrysanthemum in 
September and October, therefore the name “ Spring-flowering Chrysanthemum ” is not inappropriately given 
to it. J lie flowers are large, elegantly formed, and vary in colour from snow-white to the richest crimson. The 
habit of the plant is graceful, the foliage elegant, and the flowers are produced in great profusion. Its hardiness 
is beyond all doubt, having stood uninjured, without the slightest protection, during the severe winters of 1890 
and 1891 In herbaceous borders, shrubberies, and situations where a mass of colour is important in May and 
June, Pyrethrums are matchless. As cut flowers for vases and table decoration, the blossoms are of the greatest 
value, and last in water longer than almost any other flower. 
In addition to the early summer display, the Pyrethrum, if cut back in summer , and encouraged to make 
vigorous growth, will again flower profusely in autumn. 
Our Annual Exhibitions of these flowers at the R.H.S. Fortnightly Meetings, and at King Street. Covent 
Garden, attract much attention.

BARR’S NEW HARDY DELPHINIUMS, or Perennial Larkspurs. 
These are handsome stalely border-plants with long bold flower spikes, from clear pale blues to the 
darkest indigo, violet, etc., some tinged with rose, pink, or purple, and all with the bee-like centres, 
Culture.— D elphiniums are perfectly hardy in all soils. Before planting dig deeply, and add plenty of 
well-decomposed manure. When the weather is dry, in summer, copious waterings will secure finer flower 
spikes, and after the first flowering, if the plants arc cut down, fresh flower spikes will be produced, and the 
display thus considerably prolonged. Coal ashes strewn over the crowns in autumn will protect the plants from 
the depredations of slugs in winter and spring.
