This, when properly grown, is unquestionably one of the finest autumn flowers—like the P»ony, a flower for the million. 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 brigbt and varied colors. Just as the Roses are fading, the Phlox puts forth her first flowers, producing a fine succession of bloom, and prolonging an interesting season at least six weeks. 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 freely watered 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 by securing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign production. Our collection embraces the best and most distinct varieties, including the latest introductions of the celebrated French raiser Lemoine. See General Catalogue for descriptions each per doz.
