forwarded with perfect safety during October, by fast freight, 
even to the most distant points. 
Our attention is frequently directed to other growers and 
dealers offering Azaleas of the same diameter as herein 
quo'ed, at much lower prices. We wish to say in reference 
to this stock, that there is more than one way of measuring 
an Aza'ea, and while a plant may measure 15 inches in 
diameter, it may be really worth less than another plant 
that only measures 12 inches in diameter. Most of this 
stock is grown on quickly without sufficient cutting back, 
the idea being to get a plant so many inches in diameter. 
We would here say that we do not offer our stock in com- 
petition with this class of plant. We have been handling 
Azaleas as a specialty for many years ; last year we dis- 
tributed nearly 25,000 plants, almost without a single com- 
plaint of any consequence. 
Our prices are as low as first-class, bushy, well budded 
stock can be supplied for, and we are certain that they will 
give entire satisfaction. 
Our growers in Belgium are among the most successful 
men handling Azaleas ; they have been specialists in this 
line for many years, and their principal stock is sent to us. 
All of our importations of Azaleas are sent here in bulk, 
and are all repacked at our own nurseries, so that any plants 
that may not have carried well are set aside. This insures 
our customers of securing only first-class stock, which can- 
not be compared with cheap assorted case lots which are 
made up in Belgium, and are distributed on this side just 
as received, frequently not only containing damaged plants, 
but also, as a rule, many varieties not at all suited to the 
American trade. 
The varieties we supply are only the most popular sorts 
suited to the American market. We give personal attention 
to the selection of these stocks abroad, and can guarantee
