Have Your Plants Sent by Express. 



Under the new ruling of the leading Express 

 Companie;:, advocated and secured by us, 

 plants packed in closed boxes or baskets will now 

 be carried at the " General Special" rate. This 

 rate means a reduction of 20 per cent, from the 

 regular merchandise rates to all points where no 

 " General Special " exists. To points where a 

 "General Special " rate is in force the companies 

 make a special reduction. Shipments weighing 

 less than ico lbs. receive the benefit of the rate 

 per 100 lbs., but the minimum charge is 35c. 

 For instance, where the regular merchandise rate 

 is $4.00 per 100 lbs., a box of plants weighing 

 100 lbs. will be carried for $3.20; a saving of 

 80c. on one shipment. 



FtJLflS. ^^'s call particular attention to our list of Palms, and venture to 

 say that for the money expended there is nothing we offer which 

 will give more satisfaction to our customers. They are especially grown 

 for ■window and room culture, and with ordinary care can 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 variety 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 se- 

 lection of varieties than to 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 is 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 

 oiler a range of sizes in nearly everything, thus enabling customers to secure a 

 large plant for immediate effect, or a small one, at a low price if desired. 



COLLECTIONS OF FLPTS FOR HOUSE CULTUI^E. 



Many amateurs are often at a loss what plants to select from the great vari- 

 ety offered in a catalogue, and to aid such we offer 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 for 

 winter-flowering or decorating, all of which may be grown in a light window or 

 sitting-room, such as Abutilons, Azaleas, Begonias, Carnations, Chrysanthe- 

 mums, Camellias, Fuchsias, Geraniums, Heliotropes, Palms, Primulas, Roses, 

 Violets, etc., etc.
