Phloxes. 
^,'IIESE are a splendid hardy class of plants. Some of them are lovely colours and perfectly 
distinct to any other flower, and for mixed borders or in shrubberies they are not equalled- 
by any other plant. Some of their blooms are almost a perfect circle Their roots can bei 
divided in February, and arc quite hardy. Plant them in good, deep, rich soil in an open situation. 
To get fine exhibition blooms, strong cuttings must be taken and struck early in March. For cut 
blooms they are valuable, also very ornamental, and continue in bloom for a long time.
