views shown above are some taken in our greenhouses and show 

 sections, where some of the most popular plants are grown. Our Autumn 

 trade in plants, both foliage and flowering, is growing to vast proportions, an 

 evidence at once of the growing popular taste for these unequalled home 

 beautifiers, and the quality of the plants we supply. Our stock of plants, 

 specially prepared for this Autumn's sales, is larger and in better condition than 

 ever before, and with ordinary care should give splendid satisfaction to buyers. 

 Window gardening is growing in popularity each year, and to meet this 

 increasing demand, we have prepared plants specially for that purpose. With 

 a little care most plants can be succesfully cultivated in an ordinary sitting- 

 room window. On the following pages will be found a varied list of suitable 

 plants, foliage, flowering, climbing and drooping, suitable for growing sino-Jv 

 in pots or for filing window boxes

HAL,iYl«S. venture to say, that for the money expended there is nothing 

 we offer which will give more satisfaction to our customers. 

 Thej are especially grown for window and room culture, and 



with ordinary care may be kept in perfect condition for years. Our stock of 

 Roses, Carnations, Primroses, Chrysanthemums, and other winter 

 blooming plants, is exceptionally fine, and contains only such varieties as are 

 specially adapted for this purpose. In this connection we would say, that the 

 Tariety of plants which will thrive and bloom during the winter months is comparatively limited, and the lack of success which ■ 

 occasionally discourages amateurs, is due more frequently to a poor selection of varieties than mistakes in culture. With this] 

 point in view, we have carefully selected only such sorts as are adapted for this purpose, so that the most inexperienced amateur isl 

 perfectly safe in ordering from this catalogue, from the fact that it contains only such plants as are highly ornamental, either in) 

 flower or foliage, during the fall, winter and early spring months. We also offer a range of sizes in nearly everything, thusj 

 snabling customers to secure a large plant for immediate effect or a small one at a low price if desired. 



COLLECTIONS OF PLANTS FOR H0U5E CULTURE. 



Many amateurs are often at a loss what plants to select from the great variety offered in a catalogue, and to aid such we offei 

 the following collections. In these collections we send our best plants and finest varieties, and purchasers secure them at less than 

 regular rates, but in every instance the selection must be left to us. These collections embrace all the leading plants suitable foi 

 winter flowering or decorating, all of which may be grown in a light window of sitting room; — such as Abutilons, Azaleas, Begonias 

 Carnations. Chrysanthemums, Camellias, Fuchsias, Geraniums, Heliotropes, Palms. Primulas, Roses, Violets, etc., etc. 



Collection No. 1. 12 plants for $2.25. Collection No. S. 25 plants for %\. 00. 



Collection No. 3. 50 plants for $7.00. Collection No. 4. 100 plants for $12.00. 



LOUVER EXPRE8S RATES.- During the past summer we succeeded in obtaining from the express co„ 

 panies a lower rating on plants. Heretofore they have been carried at the regular merchandise rate, but now they will be taken al 

 a special rate which is twenty per cent, less than merchandise rate. We have always advised our customers to have theil 

 plants sent by express, and with this reduction in view urge it more strongly than ever. 



CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTS IN WINDOWS.— With each order for any o 

 the above collections we will send free an essay on this subject, written by Peter Henderson. By following these instructions w( 

 believe that success can be easily obtained.
