SEED DEPARTMENT.—tThis is in charge of trained experts, and whether your wants may be in 
Vegetable, Agricultural or Flower seeds, you may be sure to get only the choicest. 
PLANT DEPARTMENT.— our stock of decorative plants, etc., etc., is now very complete in a full 
line of sizes, from small seedlings for growing on, to specimens of the most useful decorative sizes. The plants are 
all in a clean, healthy, vigorous condition, thrifty and well-grown, and will compare favorably with stock distrib- 
uted by us in previous seasons. 
Whenever possible, we solicit a personal inspection of our stock. Our nurseries at Riverton, N. J., are within 
easy reach from either Philadelphia or New York, and something of interest: will always be seen. 
The new ranges of glass erected in 1895 and 1896, covering 53,000 square feet each, (two of the houses being 
nearly one acre each under one roof) are certain to interest anyone having anything to do with a greenhouse. This, 
we believe, illustrates in a practical way, that we believe in home-grown plants. 
Our Palm cultures are now undoubtedly the largest and most complete in the country. 
A time card of trains, with directions how to reach the nurseries, will be mailed to anyone applying.
