PLANTS FOR FORCING. 



AZALEAS FOR EASTER. 



On account of Easter this year coming so very late (April 23) a season 

 of the year when our regular spring shipmends demand our full attention, 

 we have decided not to carry a supply of Azaleas until then, but to clofce 

 out our entire stock as quickly as possible, therefore customers who us- 

 ually procure their supplies late in tbe spring will do well to cover their 

 needs at once. The principal sorts now in stock are Mme.Van der Cruyssen 

 and Bernhardt Andreas Alba, the two best late flowering sorts of their 

 color. These two varieties can be furnished in any proporti^on desired, but- - 

 _tbe selection of other varietiea must be left to us. 

 We win still supply early orders at Import prices. 



12 to 14-in. crowns $ 6.00 per dot.; $ 45.00 per 100 



14 to 16-in. crowns 7.00 per doz.; 55 00 per 100 



16 to l8-in. crowns 1200perdoz.; 100.00 per 100

Gracilis Lemoinei Per doz., 1.00; per 100, 8.00 



AZ.ALK/V MOLLIS. 



For early and late forcing Azalea Mollis is rapidly gaining favor; easily 

 forced at a minimum cost for heat and labor, they are profitable stock for 

 the retailer to handle. We are suoplying at present an unusually fine 

 grade of plants, 16 to 18 inches bigh, and covered with flower buds, $4.60 

 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



FORCING LILACS. 



' ~:A One lol of pot^ grown plants, well set witb buds and In prime condition 

 for forc^ag, $6.00 per doz.; $45 0) per 100. 



RHODODENDRONS FOR FORCING. 



These are being used more extensively every season, and this year, 

 with Easter at such a very late date, should prove especially acceptable, 

 as they can be retarded much easier than Azaleas, and at the same time 

 may be flowered at just the right moment at a minimum cost. We are 

 carrying an extra large stock of bushy well shaped plants. 16 to 18 inches 

 high, covered with buds. $9.00 per doz.; $70.00 per 100. Larger plants, 20 to 

 24 inches bigb, fine specimens, $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100.
