ELLWANGER & BARRY HARDY PHLOXES Are of vigorous habit, easy culture and produce in great profusion, 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 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 fiower 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 asuccession of young plants from cuttings by securing a fresh col- lection 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. Price, 15c each; $1.20 per 10. Not less than five of a variety will be sold at ten rates. Amazone. Large flower; pure white; fine. Anatole Le Braz. Large panicle, carmine, white center. Belvidere. Salmon pink; a choice sort.
