MOUNT HOPE NURSERIES 
HARDY PHLOXES 
A RE of vigorous habit, easy culture, and produce in great pro¬ 
fusion during a long season, flowers of fine form and substance 
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 occa¬ 
sional 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 succession 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, 
the best time to plant them is in the autumn. Our plants are large 
and fine.
