SPRING— 1877 



The Proprietors call special attention to their extensive and well-grown stock of Plants for 

 the present season, among which they particularly note the following : 



New Dwarf free-blooming Abutilons in variety. New Tuberous rooted Bego- 

 nias, Carnation "Wellesley Beauty, Bronze and Gold Bedding Zonale Pelargo- 

 nium EARL ROSLYN. which proved during the last unusually dry summer the best of 

 its class, the brilliancy and distinct outlines of its colors increasing with the intensity of the 

 sun-light, and appearing to be more fully developed thereby. Of this superb variety we hold the 

 largest stock in the United States, and offer it at very moderate price for so choice a novelty. 



Double Dwarf Zonale Pelargoniums. The importations of last season have proved for 

 their prolific blooming qualities, dwarf compact habit of growth and peculiarl}- attractive and noA'd 

 eolors, of the highest merit, and we are now able to offer them at greatly reduced rates. 



DOUBLE IVY-LEAVED GERANIUM, King Albert. This remarkable novelty is a 

 free-growing, ivy-leaved Geranium, with double flowers of a purplish rose or mauve color, rery 

 distinct and desirable as a basket or vase plant. 



Pelargonium Queen Victoria. PELARGONIUM BEAUTY OP OXTON. This is 

 the latest addition to the new class of Regal Pelargoniums. Upper petals rich maroon ; centre 

 rose; all the petals being margined with pure white; flowers large and full, having the appearance 

 of being semi-double, and a most beautiful and extraordinary novelty, far surpassing all the showy 

 and fancy varieties at present in cultivation, both as regards its elegance and lasting quality 

 of its blossoms. 



ROSES. Our stock of Roses in pots, including many of the choicest novelties is larger than 

 ever before, and of the leading popular sorts we have many thousands in 2 and 4-inch pot* 

 which we sell to the Trade in quantities at very low prices.

 eollection of the finest varieties; good sized plants for immediate blooming. 



RHODODENDRONS. 



We are receiving a large irujiortafion from the unrivalled collcctiou ol "Wm. A. Waterer, whose exliibition of them at 

 the Centennial caused so uiuch sensation. Our knowledge of the habits and peculiarities of these now popular flowering 

 shrubs will render it safe for purchasers to leave the selection of rarities to our Judgment, merely ttating the purpose and 

 situation for which they are required. 



CUT FLOWERS. 



Bon Silene.Safraoo, Isabella Sprunt, Marecbal Neil, General Jacquiinenot, and other Rose Buds ; together with Carnations, 

 Violets, Smilax and Ferns, sbippi-d to all the N".\f Englaud, Middle and Western States, and Canada. 



OUR METHOD OF I'ACKING enables us to guarantee their safe arrival in Summer and Winter. We make the growth 

 of Koses for their Buds a specialty, and by studious observation in our practical experience we have been enabled to perfect our- 

 selves in their growth, forcing and management, so as to produce flowers with long stems, covered with fine clean foliage, with 

 buds of superior color and texture. We furnished the leading florists of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, during the recent 

 olidays, with the greater part of all the Marechal Neil Roses used by them. 



Descriptions of the above and many other desirable plants, will be found in the new edition of our Catalogue which may b« 

 had on application.
