Utica, N. Y., April 30, 1900. 



Your Roses as shipped the 29th reached 

 me this a.m. in such fine condition, strong, 

 healthy looking plants, that if any of 

 them do not thrive, it will certainly be my 

 fault and not yours. Your methods are 

 very business-like and in evident contrast 

 with a lot of Roses I received a vear ago 

 from another firm. Out of five plants 

 ordered I lost four and I believe because of 

 weak, poorly grown plants. 



I desire to thank you for your generous 

 gifts accompanying my little order, and 

 should I or my friends want any Roses in 

 the future you may be sure of our patron- 

 age.

CLERODENDRON <BALFOURI. 



A most satisfactory plant for pot cul- 

 ture ; a vigorous, rapid and healthy 

 grower, producing an abundance of 

 blooms, which are bright crimson sur- 

 mounted by pearly white petals, afford- 

 ing a striking contrast against the dark 

 green foliage. Likes partial shade.

 50 cts. 



&CEWJUSTICIA VELUTINA. 



Unlike the old Justicia Rosea with its 

 tall, lanky, straggling habit of growth, 

 this new variety makes a dwarf, stocky, 

 compact plant, and begins to bloom 

 when the plant has only three or four 

 leaves, and is never out of flower after- 

 wards. If pinched back occasionally it 

 makes a very handsome plant, frequently 

 covered with 20 to 50 large, pink feathery 

 flower heads, which last a long time. 

 The foliage is heavy in texture and very 

 velvety ; a splendid free-blooming plant.
