Hardy Perennials 



For many years one of our most 

 important specialties, our stock this 

 season is again in prime condition, 

 more extensive than ever, with a 

 complete assortment of both stand- 

 ard varieties and novelties. 



Roses, Two Year Old Plants for 

 Outdoor Planting 



Our Roses are all field grown 

 plants which were dug in the fall, 

 and which during the winter 

 months were potted into 5 and 6 

 inch pots. They are stored in cold 

 houses and frames, being retarded 

 as much as possible, and are just 

 the sort of stock that will please 

 your retail customers. We are par- 

 ticularly strong on Hybrid Teas but 

 carry also nearly aU other types. 



Aquatic Plants 



Eight acres of Ponds are devoted 

 to Hardy Nymphaeas and Nelumbi- 

 ums alone, a large assortment of 

 Tropical Nymphaeas, Victoria 

 Regia, etc., as well as sub-aquatic 

 plants for marginal planting. If
