ELLIVANGER &■ BARRY'S CATALOGUE OF 
SELECT HARDY PHLOX. 
One of the finest autumn flowers. It is of vigorous 
habit, easy culture, and produces in great profusion 
during a long season ; flowers of fine form and sub¬ 
stance, and of bright and varied colors. As regards 
their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed 
in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved 
by being liberally manured, and an occasional supply 
of liquid manure during the growing season will greatly 
increase the size of their trusses. When in flower they 
should be 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 better 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. 1 he best time to plant them is in the 
autumn. Our plants are large and fine.
