NOVELTIES. — It will be seen that a number of the plants we offer are new or of very recent introduction, but 

 all have been thoroughly tried to test their qualities before giving them a place in our lists. All are really excel- 

 lent of their kind, and should find a place in every collection of plants. To place them within the reach of 

 everybody, we offer them at extremely low prices. 



BEDDING- PLANTS.— Our stocks of these this year are again, we are happy to say, fully equal to any we have 

 ever offered. 



CONSERVATORY AND PARLOR PLANTS.— We feel especially proud of the stock of plants we are grow- 

 ing and preparing for conservatory or parlor culture. A finer lot of Palms, Ferns, Begonias, Lilies, Fuchsias, Gerani- 

 ums, etc., we have never seen. We have them in all sizes, from the LARCrEST SPECUMEN to the smallest 

 cutting or seedling, so that we are prepared to fully supply all demands. 



HOW WE SHIP PLANTS. — Small plants to distant and outlying points, and in small quantities, are quite 

 frequently sent by mail, and we exercise every care to have them reach their destination in good condition ; but we 

 cannot recommend this means of carrying plants, in fact we always discourage it, knowing it to be most unsatisfactory, 

 and we only resort to it when compelled by circumstances. 



ORDER PLANTS SENT BY EXPRESS.— For the same money we will gladly send a much larger plant by 

 express than we possibly could by mail. The soil is all left on the roots ; the plants can be more carefully packed, 

 and they are sure to arrive in good condition and receive no check to their growth. To encourage a preference fo." 

 this means of having plants sent, we not only send larger and better plants, but we always add enough extra to com- 

 pensate for the additional expense of expressage. 



All packages are delivered free of charge to all depots and express offices in Milwaukee, and no charge is 

 made for' boxes, baskets or packing. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PLANTS GUARANTEED.— We guarantee all plants to arrive safely and in good con- 

 dition, if sent by express. We will cheerfully replace any or all plants not received in good condition, if notice 

 is sent us im,mediately on receipt of the plants. We do not hold ourselves responsible for 

 plants ivJiich haw been received in good condition, but which may afterwards from some cause fail to 

 grow. Neither do we take any risk on plants sent in any other way but by express. 



HOW TO TREAT PLANTS WHEN RECEIVED.— Plants sent by express usually arrive in such perfect con- 

 dition that no special treatment is required. If they should be dry, soak the balls of soil in cold water before potting 

 or planting them. When sent by mail to a considerable distance they are liable to g3t dry. If they should look 

 wilted, place them in tepid water for a short time and they will soon revive ; then pot into as small pots as will con- 

 veniently hold the roots, or if planted immediately in the garden, press the soil, which should be well pulverized, 

 firmly around the roots ; water and shade for a few days. 



PRICES. — Following our usual custom, we this year maintain the same reasonable, in fact low prices, we 

 have always aimed at. We believe we have never failed to give our customers entire satisfaction, always making them 

 feel that they have received full value for their inoney. This year we have the utmost assurance, knowing the 

 superiority of our stock of all kinds of plants, that we can give fully as good, if not better, satisfaction than we have in 

 any previous year. At any rate, we were never so well satisfied ourselves with the appearance of all our plants as we 

 are at present. Remember, also, that we are LIBERAL WITH EXTRAS, according to the value 

 of the order. 



G-ARDEN TOOLS AND REQUISITES.— Of these we carry a complete and extensive line. For detailed 

 description and prices, see end of "Guide."
