Greenhouse and Nursery Department. 



This department of our business has always been in 

 the front rank of progressive horticultural establish- 

 ments, and continues to-day the most completely 

 equipped place of its kind, not only in this country 

 but in the world. 



Our increasing business has again made it necessary 

 for us to provide greater facilities for the prompt exe- 

 cution of orders, and extensive additions have been 

 made in the past few months to our packing and storage 

 rooms as well as to the greenhouses. These build- 

 ings, together with the propagating and storage 

 frames, now cover an area of over twelve acres 

 of ground. 



For the production of Hardy Plants, Bulbs, 

 Cannas, Dahlias, Roses, Shrubs and similar 

 outdoor stock, a large new tract of land 

 has been added, and this department now 

 aggregates an area of nearly two 

 ^hundred acres, where, in their re- 

 spective seasons, such blocks of 

 stock as 150,000 Har- 

 dy Phloxes, 



50,000 Iris, 75,000 Peonies, 75,000 Tritomas, 150,- 

 000 Dahlias, 3 acres of Cannas, 6 acres of Water Lilies 

 and other specialties in proportionate quantities may be 

 seen under cultivation, and for the inspection of which 

 a cordial invitation is extended to all, and while 

 something of interest may be seen on any day in the 

 year, sufficient to compensate for a long journey, the 

 best time to visit us is, of course, during the period 

 between July 1st and the end of October, when not only 

 the various stocks under glass are at their best, but 

 when most outdoor plants, grown either for seed, 

 bulbs or propagating purposes, are in their full glory. 



Our Nurseries are situated at Riverton, N. J., nine 

 miles from Philadelphia, and easily reached by frequent 

 trains, trolleys, and boats, also by rail from New York. 

 Time-tables on application. 



No permit is necessary; the place is wide-open for 

 inspection on every day in the year except Sundays 

 and holidays.
