PINK, ALBA FIMBRIATA. 



A double sort, of good formand substance; quite fragrant, 

 and extensively grown around New York for forcing during the 

 winter months. Like the rest of its class, it is excellent for 

 summer bouquets. Flowers double, fringed, one inch in dia- 

 meter; entirely hardy. 



25 cents each ; $2.25 per dozen. 



PINKS, FLORISTS. 



These are dwarfer than the Carnation, growing about one 

 foot in height, the colors being of the various shades of maroon, 

 carmine, and rose, beautifully laced with white; flowers per- 

 fectly double, clove-scented ; plant entirely hardy. The varieties 

 embrace all shades and styles; indispensable for summe,r bou- 

 quets . 



25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. Set of 37 sorts $6.00. 



PINKS, " Summer Garden Varieties." 



Comprising over a dozen distinct and beautiful varieties; 

 colors white, crimson, rose, violet, maroon, etc., etc.; exceed- 

 ingly well adapted for summer bouquets; blooms from June to 

 November. 



15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen. 



DOUBLE WHITE MULE PINK. 



This somewhat resembles the well-known crimson German 

 Pink, known as Dianthus Querteri, but the flowers are pure 

 white — a valuable plant for summer flowers. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



MULE PINKS. 



Pinks of dwarf, neat growth, about nine inches in height, 

 flowering continually during the summer; flowers rosy car- 

 mine. 



25 cents each ; $2.25 per dozen. 



FORCING PINK, "Lady Blanche." 



A rose petaled, pure white variety, double, of fine form and 

 fragrance; it is equally prolific in bloom as the well known 

 white fringed pink, but having much larger and finer-formed 

 flowers. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



PILEA. 



Serpaefolia (Artillery Plant. )j Graceful frond-like leaves 

 which, when in flower, produce a snapping sound 

 when water is thrown on the leaves. 



Reptans. Leaves bright green, of small size, suitable for 

 baskets, vases, etc. 



25 cents each ; $2.25 per dozen 



POLYGONUM SCANDENS. 



A trailing or creeping plant, suitable either for baskets or 

 vases. The leaves are small, round, bright green; it keeps its 

 foliage well in the parlor or sitting room in winter, doing well 

 in the shade. 



30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



POMEGRANATE.— In Variety. 



Punica Granatum Album. White. 



Orange and yellow. 



Plenum. Double white. 



Nana. Dwarf. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. Four sorts for $1.00. 



PRIMROSE, DOUBLE WHITE CHINESE. 



Perhaps this is the most profitable of all plants we cultivate 

 for winter flowers, well-grown specimens, from November to 

 April, yielding often 500 flowers. Our stock is large, and plants 

 in fine health, always a scarce plant, being slow to increase. 

 Large plants, $1.50 each; $12.00 per dozen. Smaller $1.00 each; 

 $9.00 per dozen. 



PRIMROSE, CHINESE, SINGLE RED AND 

 WHITE. 



One of the finest winter-blooming plants, the single varieties 

 blooming more profusely than the double sorts, and of easier 

 culture; they are especially adapted for window gardening, giv- 

 ing an abundance of bloom during the winter months. Care 

 should be taken, however, not to keep them too wet. 

 1st size, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 2d size, 25 cents each; 

 $2.25 per dozen. 



DOUBLE WHITE HARDY PRIMROSE, 



(Primula Vulgaris Alba Plena.) 



One of the earliest of spring flowers. It is hardy in the vicinity 

 of New York, and is much used as a spring flower in our ceme- 

 etries. 



30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



POTENTILLA, Single and Double. 



Nearly hardy herbaceous plant, blooming profusely in the 

 summer; colors, bright yellow, orange, brown, deep crim- 

 son, etc. 



25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



PHLOX, HARDY HERBACEOUS. 



General Collection. 



As this beautiful genus of hardy plants blooms well in partial 

 shade, they are, perhaps, the most valuable plants we cultivate 

 for city gardens or shrubberies. Our collection embraces every 

 color from purest white to darkest crimson. 

 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. Set of 40 distinct sorts for $6.00. 



PLUMBAGO. 



Rather scarce plants, answering admirably for summer and 

 winter blooming — two of the varieties producing large heads 

 of blue flowers, the other white. 



Capensis. Light blue. Lapentse. Dark blue. 



Alba. White. 



25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



POINSETTIA PULCHERRIMA. 



A tropical plant of gorgeous beauty, the bracts of leaves 

 that surround the flower being, in well-grown specimens, one 

 foot in diameter, of the most dazzling scarlet. In a hot-house 

 temperature of 60 degrees it begins to bloom in November, and 

 remains expanded until February. This peculiarity of bloom- 

 ing in the heart of winter makes it largely in demand for bas- 

 kets and vases of cut flowers at the holidays in our large 

 cities. During the holiday week of last year we sold 3,000 heads 

 of Poinsettia, at an average of 20 cents each. 



25 cents, 50 cents, $1.00, and $3.00 each, according to size. 

 (For New Double Poinsettia, see Novelties. ) 



REINECKEA CARNEA. 



A dwarf-growing, grass-like plant, bearing carmine flowers ; an 

 excellent plant for aquariums, the margins of fountains, etc. 

 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



RONDELETIA ANOMALA. 



This neat little plant should be in every collection. It flow- 

 ers when quite small, and continues in bloom all summer, and 

 if lifted and potted makes an excellent winter-blooming plant. 

 Flowers bright Vermillion. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



RUELLIA FORMOSA. 



A winter-flowering, salvia-like plant, bearing flowers of the 

 most brilliant scarlet during the entire winter months. 

 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



RUSSELLIA JUNCEA. 



A splendid basket plant, of neat, slender habit, with very 

 bright scarlet flowers, which are very conspicuous. This is 

 one of the very best plants for centres of baskets and vases, as 

 by its drooping habit it resembles a perfect shower of scarlet 

 blossoms. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



RICINUS, (Castor Oil Bean.) 



A tropical-looking foliage plant, unequaled for a single speci- 

 men or in masses on a lawn. 



25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



ROSES. 



The monthly, or ever-blooming sorts, undoubtedly, give bet- 

 ter satisfaction than the Hybrid Perpetuals — flowering con- 

 tinually — but not being hardy north of Maryland, require 

 protection (which is best done by covering the roots in Decem- 

 ber with leaves or coarse litter, to about six inches in depth). 

 The Hybrid Perpetuals are perfectly hardy, but do not bloom, 

 as their names would indicate, perpetually, giving only one 

 profuse bloom in June, and a partial bloom throughout the 

 summer. 



All are grown on their own roots, from cuttings of the young 

 wood. They are healthy plants that have never been forced, 

 and are grown in pots. 



For New Monthly Roses, See Novelties. 



ROSES, BEDDING. 



These are nice healthy plants, grown in smaller pots than the 

 following, and we can therefore sell them at much lower rates. 

 Last year these same sized plants gave such general satisfaction 

 that this season we have grown them much more extensively. 

 Most of the varieties of Koses named in the following list of 

 Teas, Bourbon, and Bengals, are included in this selection. The 

 kinds, however, must be of our own selection. 



20 cents each: $2,00 per dozen. $15.00 per hundred, 

 jgtif* Our selection of sorts only, out all named varieties.
