Our Greenhouse and Nursery 

 Department. 



It is not possible in the small space we have here to give more than a 

 mere outline of the various departments which go to make up this im- 

 portant p irt of our business. 



New and Rare Plants. (See pages 106 to 114.) Every year 

 some member of our firm visits the horticultural centres of the 

 world in quest of novelties, and great pains were taken to test all 

 new and rare plants. Our offering this season is rich and varied. 



Aquatic Department. (See pages 115 to ]24.) Over 

 six .Teres of ponds are devoted to this branch, acknowledged 

 to be the largest and most complete in the world. All sorts 

 of Water Lilies are grown in generous quantities, as well as 

 miscellaneous aquatics now so largely used in aquariums.
