E take pleasure in offering the following novelties. 
Some have been tested on oun rial Gromnde: 
and we can confidently recommend them to our 
patrons. Others are quite new, and we have not yet been 
able to test them) sufficiently to descmbe them) Wiese 
are listed with the description of the raiser or originator. 
We consider all worthy of trial. 
Particular attention is directed to the NEw Harpy 
YELLOW ROsE, “GOLDEN SwunN,’ which in our opinion is 
a variety of great promise. It has flowered on our grounds, 
and we are pleased to say that it seems to possess qualities 
which will render it an acquisition. Assured as we are 
of its value, we have already commenced to propagate it on 
an extensive scale, and next fall we shall be preparedige 
offer it in large quantities. We shall have a good supply 
for the spring trade. 
We also call attention to the. beambitulinan 
shrub, CuT-LEAVED AMERICAN ELDER, which is now offered 
for the first time. In addition to its fine habit of growth 
and beautiful foliage, it is hardy, vigorous and a rapid 
grower and we believe it is destined to become a great 
favorite with planters as soon as it is known. 
It is not our intention to issue a new edition of the 
General Catalogue this year, and a copy of the last edition 
will be mailed, on request, to all who desire it.
