SEED JJEPARTJkLEJS T. — This 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 JDEPART3LENT. — Our stock of decorative plants, such as Palms, Ferns, Pandanus, Ficus, 

 Araucaria, 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. 



Whenever possible, we solicit a personal inspection of our stock. Our nurseries at Eiverton, 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 ; our stock of Kentias 

 alone (the most popular and most desirable of all Palms,) on July 1st, consisted of one hundred and twenty-four 

 thousand plants, from small seedlings in 2 inch pots, to specimens in 10 and 12 inch pots ; other popular varieties 

 being represented in tbe same proportion. 



A time card of trains, with directions how to reach the nurseries, will be mailed to anyone applying. 

 LOW EXPRESS RATES OX PLAXTS.—We are shipping by express lines to all parts of the 

 country, plants packed in closed boxes at a reduction of 20 per cent, from regular rates of merchandise. Boxes 

 weighing less than 100 pounds are charged at pound rates, minimum charge not less than 35 cents. For example : 

 where the general rate is $5.00 per 100 pounds, a box weighing 20 pounds will be carried for 80 cents. Prepaid 4 

 pound packages of seeds, plants, and bulbs are carried to California and all distant points for 30 cents each.. 



By our careful and thorough system of packing, we Guarantee Safe Delivery on Plants and perishable 

 goods, when ordered to be sent by Express, and we always ship this way unless we have positive instructions to

C ' HANGrE OF TER3IS* — In order to equalize and to give the same time of credit on all purchases, we have 

 decided to abolish our old system of credits in which all accounts, regardless of date of purchase, were due in January

On and after January 1st, 1896, all bills will be due and payable Ninety (90) days after date of invoice.
