One of the finest autumn flowers.

As reg-ards their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed in any g-ood g-arden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occasional supply of liquid ma- nure during the growing season will greatly in- crease 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 neces- sary 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 flnest 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 annu- ally introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign production. Darwin. Large, perfect flowers; reddish vio- let. 25 cents. Eudolie. Striped rose. 25 cents. Francois Coppee.
