SPECIAL PRICES FOR IMPORT ORDERS 



We are now booking orders for Fall delivery. Buyers who 

 use a quantity of this most popular Easter blooming plant will 

 find it to their interest to place their orders for next season's 

 wants early, thereby securing the choice of the stock at lowest 

 cost for transportation, as the plants can be forwarded with 

 perfect safety during October, by fast freight, even to the most 

 distant points. 



Our growers in Belgium are among the most successful men 

 handling Azaleas ; they have been specialists in this line for 

 many years, and their principal stock is sent to us. 



All of our importations of Azaleas are sent here in bulk, and 

 are all re-packed at our own nurseries, so that any plants that 

 may not have carried well are set aside. This insures our 

 customers of securing only first-class' stock, which can- 

 not be compared with cheap assorted case lots, which are made 

 up in Belgium, and distributed on this side just as received, 

 frequently not only containing damaged plants, but also, as a 

 rule, many varieties not at all suited to the American trade. 



The varieties which we supply are only the most popular sorts 

 suited to the American market, and we can include 40 ^r of the 

 popular JLid. Van der Criiysen in the 10 to 12 and 12 to I4 

 inch sizes, and 25 fc in the 14 to 16 inch sizes.

Asparagus Myriocladns. I 



An introduction fi-om South Africa, and probably the most 

 attractive species yet introduced. It was very aptly described 

 by a visitor to our nursery as "an aristocratic Asparagus 

 Sprengeri," from which, however, it is entirely distinct, both in 

 its habit of growth, as well as in the formation of its fronds. The 

 plant is of an almost erect habit of growth, producing fronds 

 from two to four feet long, which, when just unfolding, are of a 

 peculiar metallic bronze, from which they change to a golden- 

 green, finally maturing a rich emerald-green. A plant with 

 fronds in the various stages of development is most attractive. 



It was awarded a certificate of merit by the Society of 

 American Florists, August,* 1903 ; also by the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society in November, 1903. 



Stock limited. Good plants, in 5 -inch pots, ^3.50 each;
