THEODOSIA B. SHEPHERD COMPANY 



MRS. SHEPHERD'S CREATIONS. 



All the plants in this catalogue designated "Mrs. Shepherd's" were originated by her. A few 

 in the book not so indicated were also her creations. Among them the Fuchsia "Gen. Yandever," 

 the Canna "Golden Beauty," the Dahlia "Monarch," the Ivy Geranium "Sweet Sixteen," the Fuch- 

 sia "Crimson Trumpet," and the Carnation "Strawberry lee." We congratulate ourselves that 

 there is no other catalogue in the country where so large a proportion of the plants offered are 

 originated by the maker of the book, — and a woman, president and manager of the company.
