Winter Flowering Plants, 
FOR PARLOR OR GREENHOUSE, 
Last season our “Specially Prepared Winter Flowering Plants” were so 
satisfactory to our customers, that we have great pleasure in again offering a 
still richer collection, at rates much reduced from last year. This we can well 
afford to do, as our facilities for propagating and growing plants are not sur. 
passed by any other on this continent. Our Greenhouses now cover upwards 
of two acres, solid in glass structures, employing steadily fifty hands through- 
out the year. 
The plants, with few exceptions, are such kinds as can be easily grown in 
any ordinary Parlor, Sitting-Room or Green-House, where the night tempera- 
ture will average 55 degrees. There are a few Tropical plants included in the 
list that will not do weil at a less temperature than 65 degrees at night—these 
are marked thus * to distinguish them. 
We can either send by Mail or by Express, as desired, only when sending 
by Mail a smaller size plant is sent; but whenever it is practicable, we 
strongly advise that plants be sent by Express; for, though the purchaser is 
required to pay Express charges (which are usually moderate from our light 
system of packing,) yet he always buys cheaper—quality of plants considered 
—than when plants are sent by mail free. 
In packing, all plants are taken from the pots to ensure lightness and 
safety in packing, and when received, they should be re-potted in a size larger 
pots than they have been grown in, or in boxes of earth an inch or two deeper 
than the pot they have been grown in. 
Bulbs, Seeds, or any other article offered in this Catalogue, can be sent 
with plants in same package when desired. _ 
Gardening for Pleasure! 
I have endeavored to make it so plain that any one entirely ignorant of 
gardening matters may easily understand it; it is intended to embrace the 
entire subject of garden operations—Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables. The 
price of the book is $1.50. To all purchasers of $10 worth of Plants, Bulbs, or 
Seeds in one order, it will be sent gratis. When the book is not wanted, the |} 
value will be sent in extra Plants or Seeds. if
