HARDY SHRUBS, HARDY ROSES, STRAWBERRIES and GARDEN FRUITS: 



We call particular attention to our list of Palms (see 

 page 51), and venture to say that for the money ex- 

 '^~^^^^^^~' pended there is nothing 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 con- 

 dition for years. Our stock of Carnations, Primroses, Azaleas, Violets 

 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 occasionally 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.

About Forwarding Plants. 



Unless otherwise ordered we send all plants by 

 express (buyer to pay charges). Hardy shrubs and 

 vines and hardy roses may be sent safely by freight, but 

 unless the shipment is a large one express is cheaper, 

 quicker and safer. Small lots of Geraniums, Fuchsias, 

 Young Palms, Begonias, Ferns, Violets, Heliotropes 

 and Primulas may be sent free by mail, if desired. WE 

 GUARANTEE the safe arrival of all plants sent by 

 express. Should anything be injured in tfransit, send 

 us a list of what has been damaged, so that we can 

 replace them. If in good condition, when received, our 

 responsibility ceases, and if from inattention or other 

 causes they fail and complaint is then made, we cannot 

 replace them. Plants sent other than by express are 

 entirely at the risk of the purchaser. 



Under the new ruling of the leading express com- 

 panies, ADVOCATED AND SECURED BY US, plants 

 packed in closed boxes or baskets will now be carried 

 at a reduction of 20 per cent, from the regular merchan- 

 dise rates. 



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 collections. In these collections we send our best 

 plants and finest varieties, 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 or sitting-room, such as Begonias, Carnations, 

 Chrysanthemums, Fuchsias, Geraniums, Heliotropes, Palms, 

 Primulas, Roses, Violets, etc., etc.
