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

 the present season, among whi(!h they particularly note the following : 



Ne-w 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 otfer 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 peculiarly attractive and novel 

 colors, 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 fiowers of a purplish rose or mauve color, very 

 distinct and desirable as a basket or vase i)lant. 



Pelargonium Queen Victoria. PELARGONIUM BEAUTY OP OXTON. This is 

 the latest addition to the new class of Eegal 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 pots 

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

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