POLYGONUM AUBERTI 



A Splendid New Vine 



Polygonum Auberti 



A GREAT improvement on thePolygonumBaldschuanicum. 

 The flower-trusses are larger, the flowers pure white ; it 

 grows still more rapidly, and does not suffer from the 

 disease which makes the leaves wither and drop from the old 

 variety. A plant in full flower gives the impression of being 

 altogether covered with hoar-frost. As a porch climber or 

 used as a cover to old trees and stumps it is unsurpassed. This 

 vine has a tendency to produce a few flowers throughout the 

 summer, but in September it is a mass of bloom and the flow- 

 ers do not fall off like those of Clematis Paniculata, but last for 

 a long time in perfection. It is the most beautiful and satis- 

 factory flowering vine introduced in recent years.

Hardy Trees, Shrubs and Plants " 



In our Nui"ii'y great care is taken to secure the symmetrical and vigor- 

 ous grow:: of all plants Trees and Shrubs are grown in rows widely 

 separated, _-o all may have room for development. They are cultivated 

 constantly, transplanted frequently, and pruned, sheared and trained by 

 expert horticulturists so they will meet perfectly the needs of those who 

 desire nursery products of unusual quality. This stock may be trans- 

 planted without checking its growth, and it will produce pleasing land- 

 scape effects in a remarkably short time. 



Flowering Shrubs and Roots for Forcing are one of our specialties, as we 

 ourselves force quantities of these for the New York market. We are 

 able, as always, to supply the most attractive of the hardy Hybrid Rho- 

 dodendrons and other Broad-leaved Evergreens, Bay Trees, Roses and 

 Vines, and to furnish the most beautiful of the flowering Herbaceous 

 Perennial Plants. 



" Greenhouse Plants and Orchids " 



With the increasing interest in Orchids we have greatly enlarged our 

 range of glasshouses, and now devote more than 60,000 square feet to 

 these plants alone. As with all our other products, we aim to grow 

 Orchids as well as possible, and we have no doubt that an inspection of 

 our establishment will convince the most exacting connoisseur of this fact. 



Our list of Stove and Greenhouse Plants remains the most extensive in 

 America. We offer only well-grown plants, which will please the most 

 exacting. Because our collection is so extensive, 'we are in a position to 

 fill conservatories with the choicest kinds, meeting every requirement of 

 preference or purse. Many of these plants we can furnish in large sizes, 

 to give an immediate effect. We devote 500,000 square feet of greenhouse- 

 range to the propagation and culture of plants for the conservatory or 

 glasshouse.
