Our stock of decorative plants, such as Palms, Ferns, Pandanus, Ficus, 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 distributed 
by us in previous seasons. 
r Measurements of Plan where given, as in the case of Palms, etc., etc., means the height of the plant 
Ou 0: ERNE from the top of the pot to the top of the plant in its natural position. We 
make this explanation of our way of measuring, as many growers contend that the proper measurement is from the bot- 
tom of the pot to the tip of the longest leaf, and make their offers in that way. 
An Invitation, 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. A time card, with directions how to reach the Nurseries, will be mailed on application.
