6-inch pots 50 cents each. 



Nephr lepiS SCOttilt heScotiFern) 

 6-lnch pots 50 cents each. 



NephrOlepiS Whitmani (The improved Ostrich Plume Fern) 



Unquestionably the most valuable of this type superseding 

 Piersoni. Barrowsi and Elegantissima all of which we have 

 now discarded in favor of this variety. Not only Is the 

 pinnae on the individual fronds more finely divided but the 

 fronds are denser, broader and more graceful and the habit of 

 the plant is more perfect. 



2 1-4-inch pots, 75 cts per doz.; .$3.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



6-inch pots 75 cents each. 



Nephrolepis Amerpohli 



This is the latest addition to the Ostrich Plume type and is 

 certain to prove a welcome and popular variety, holding for 

 delicacy and gracefulness the same position among the Nephro- 

 lepis that Adiantum Gracillimum does among the Maiden Hair 

 Ferns. The pinnae is so finely divided that it reminds one of a 

 piece of fine lace; the fronds are broad and of a depth which 

 gives them a cushion-like appearance. It forms a beautiful 

 specimen and is admired by everyone who sees it. We are 

 now booking orders for September delivery. 



.50 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100; $200.00 per 1000. 

 Nephrolepis TodeaOideS (Todea or Filmy-Fcm-Uke Nephrolepis) 



This is an English introduction that has received a first 

 class certificate both from the Royal Horticultural Society and 

 from the Royal Botanic Society of London, and is likely to 

 become a most important commercial variety. While in a 

 general way It reminds one of an exceptionally well grown 

 plant of X. Elegantissima it is entirely distinct from this 

 and all others, in its strong yet compact growth and its bold 

 heavy foliage which is distinctly tripinnate or three times 

 divided. Specimen plants which we now have growing are 

 admired bv everyone and we h.ave great faith in its future. 



4-iuch pots. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz,; $40.00 per 100. 



6-inch pots, $1.00 each. 



New Double Blue Lobelia (Kathleen Mallard) 



A charming plant of English introduction, which we are now 

 oflieriug for the first time. It originated as a chance seedling 

 from Lobelia Speciosa and has very large double flowers of an 

 intense rich deep blue color. It is a most desirable plant, 

 which meets with favor with everyone who sees it. We offer 

 good plants for propagating purposes. 20cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 

 en; $15.00 per 100. 



Begonia Cloire de Lorraine 



We are now delivering fir-^t class stock of Begonia Lorraine, 

 2 1-4 inch pot-plants which have been propagated from leaf 

 cuttings and which will make plants that are much superior 

 to stock grown in the or.dinaiy wa.v. You will make no mis- 

 take in placing vour orders at once; the stock is certain to 

 please you. $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000. 



For the most complete list of seasonable stock that can be 

 offered at this season of the year see our current WHOLE- 

 SALE LIST. If you have not received a copy it will be mailed 

 to .vou on application. 



OUR EXHIBIT AT THE CONVENTION

 plants offered above but also many others, some of which are certain to prove useful to you in your business and with which 

 you should become acquainted. Our entire staff of travellers will be in attendance and will be pleased to show samples or to 

 pilot you ro our Nurseries at Riverton, where a personal inspection of our many specialties will prove interesting. 



AN INVITATION TO ALL 



Wednesday afternoon August 21st. has been set aside by the entertainment committee of the Philadelphia Florists' Club for 

 a visit to Riverton and we extend a cordial invitation to everyone to join us on this day. A large Steamboat capable of accom- 

 modating 3000 people has been engaged by us for the purpose. The trip up the Delaware River is a most interesting one, and 

 will enable you to gain a good idea of the vast shipping, ship building and many other of Philadelphia's great Riverfront in- 

 dustries. 



We will do all that we can to make this day a memorable one in the history of the Philadelphia Convention and we hope 

 that vou will be able to Join us.
