O . We call particular attention to our list of Palms, and 



<\ ^1IT)S» ven ture to say that for the money expended there is nothing 



V a we offer which will give more satisfaction to our customers. 



They are especially grown for window and room culture, and with 

 ordinary care can be kept in perfect condition for years. Our stock of 

 Roses, Carnations, Primroses, Chrysanthemums and other winter- 

 blooming plants is exceptionally fine, and contains only such varieties as 

 are specially adapted for this purpose. In this connection we would say 

 that the variety of plants which will thrive and bloom during the winter 

 months is comparatively limited, and the lack of success which occasion- 

 ally discourages amateurs is due more frequently to a poor selection of 

 varieties than to mistakes in culture. With this point in view, we have 

 carefully selected only such sorts as are adapted for this purpose, so that 

 the most inexperienced amateur is perfectly safe in ordering from this 

 catalogue, from the fact that it contains only such plants as are highly 

 ornamental, either in flower or foliage, during the fall, winter and early 

 spring months. We also offer a range of sizes in nearly everything, thus 

 enabling customers to secure a large plant for immediate effect, or a 

 small one, at a low price, if desired. 



Collections of Plants for House Culture. 



Many amateurs are often at a loss what plants to select from the great 

 variety offered in a catalogue, and to aid such we offer the following col- 

 lections. In these collections we send our best plants and finest varie- 

 ties, and purchasers secure them at less than regular rates, but in every 

 instance the selection must be left to us. These collections embrace 

 all the leading plants suitable for winter-flowering or decorating, all of 

 which may be grown in a light window of sitting-room, such as Abutilons, 

 Azaleas, Begonias, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Camellias, Fuchsias, 

 Geraniums, Heliotropes, Palms, Primulas, Koses, Violets, etc., etc.
