EXTRA LARGE PLANTS IN TUBS AND BARRELS 

 FOR SUMMER FLOWERING 



We make a specialty of bydrangreas, and have a very large stock of plants which have been kept hackward and nhich 

 are now just beginning to set buds. They are in Hne shape for shipment, and will bloom from June to August. Plants 

 are heavily budded, and are exceptionally good value. 



We have always made a specialty of large hydrangeas for summer-blooming, and we never had such a fine stock as we 

 have at this time. We have a very large stock, especially of the plants in barrels, and can supply carload lots. 



Fine plants in tubs $2.00 and §3.00 each. 



Extra fine specimens in balf-barrels $5.00. $7.50 and $10.00 each.

SWEET PEA SHOW PHILADEL- 

 PHIA. 



Considering the warm weather we 

 have had, the display of sweet peas 

 on the 23rd, held under the auspices 

 of the Philadelphia Horticultural So- 

 ciety, was very creditable, although 

 not as extensive as we have often seen 

 on other occasions. The chief prize 

 winners were Ellis, Pepper. Frazier, 

 McFadden and McKean. All the prizes 

 were donated, the donors being Dreer, 

 Michell, Waterer and Bodine. A nice 

 display of hardy perennials was an at- 

 tractive adjunct of the show.
