Plants 



Our general collection of Garden and Greenhouse Plants is probably 

 more extensive than that of any other house, and has been most carefully 

 selected. Sensational novelties which appear one season only to disappear 

 the next have been excluded. In the list will be found many old friends 

 which will be valued in any collection, among them gems which found 

 room in some of our earliest catalogues sixty years ago, and which appeal 

 as strongly to the flower lover of to-day as they did then. 

 We are not, however, losing sight of new plants, and no expense is spared to keep abreast of the times. Our own repre- 

 sentatives annually visit the horticultural centres of both America and Europe in search of novelties, which are only offered 

 after careful trial or upon endorsements from the most reliable sources. 



Our list of such plants as Cannas, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Fuchsias, Geraniums, etc., etc., is carefully revised each season, 

 it being our aim to present to our patrons a condensed list of twelve, twenty or twenty-five of the best varieties rather than a long, 

 confusing list containing many sorts which, while they may possess merit, are not distinct. These collections have been made up 

 after the mnst exhaustive trials and careful comparisons.
