A Cordial Invitation 



Is extended to all persons interested in strawberry culture, to visit the Monmouth 

 Nursery during the period from June 5th to 1 5th next, to see the Billionaire 

 Strawberry in bearing. This strawberry is believed to excel in beauty and value 

 any of the many varieties that have been sent out from this nursery ; in fact, any 

 variety in cultivation. A broad statement, indeed, yet one that I am confident the 

 future will prove to be correct. Come and see whether I am right or not ! 



As all know, the date of ripening of any variety of strawberry varies considerably 

 with the season. If those who can and wish to accept my invitation will inform me of 

 the fact, I will be pleased to adv^ise them a week in advance of the date when this 

 child of the New England hills can be seen to best advantage. 



Little Silver is reached by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (foot of Liberty 

 street and 23d street, New York ; Reading Terminal, Philadelphia), and by the Penn- 

 sylvania Railroad (foot of Cortlandt street, Desbrosses street and 23d street, New 

 York ; Broad and Market streets, Philadelphia); also by the New Jersey Southern 

 Railroad to Red Bank — Red Bank being but two miles from Little Silver. 



Hardy Perennials^ or Old Fashioned Flowers 

 A Superb Aggregation— Over IGOO Varieties 



Nothing for the cost will add so much cheer to the home grounds and make 

 them attractive and interesting, from early spring till late autnmn, as hardy perennial 

 plants, yielding, as they do, a wealth of flowers of an almost endless variety of form 

 and color, not only during the year planted, but for many years — from a single plant- 

 ing. They are everybody's flowers, from the millionaire to the wage earner. They 

 supply flowers to embellish and brighten the dining table, the parlor and the rooms of 

 the sick, as well as the garden and lawn. They flourish in almost every soil, need 

 but little care, and require no special knowledge to succeed with them. 



My catalog of hardy perennial plants is a copiously illustrated beautiful book of 

 fifty pages, giving accurate descriptions, and is replete with information of value to all 

 who are interested in these charming flowers. So soon as printed a copy will be 

 mailed to every one who has ordered anything of me during the past three years, 

 without application. To all others it will be mailed free, upon receipt of request.
