 goods, and send us a list of what has been 

 damaged, so that we can replace them with- 

 out delay. But when they arrive in good 

 condition our responsibility ceases, and if 

 from inattention or other causes they fail 

 and complaint is then made, we cannot re- 

 place them. Plants sent other than by express

 send all plants by express. Hardy shrubs and 

 Tines and hardy roses may be sent safely by

 one express is cheaper, quicker and safer.

 Palms, Begonias, Ferns, Violets, Heliotropes 

 and Primulas may be sent free by mail, if 

 desired.

PA I MS ^® '^^^^ particular attention to our list of Palms, and 

 rVL,/Tlo. venture to say that for the money expended there is 

 nothing we offer which will give more satisfaction to our custom- 

 ers. They are especially grown for ■window and room cul- 

 ture, 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 suc- 

 cess 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. 



rOLLECTIONS 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 Abutilons, , 

 Azaleas, Begonias, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Fuchsias, Geraniums, 

 Heliotropes, Palms, Primulas, Eoses, Violets, etc., etc.
