THE PLANT DEPARTMENT 



WE take especial pleasure in calling the attention of our customers to this department of our busi- 

 ness. Extensive improvements made at our Riverton establishment during the past season place 

 it second to none in the country. There are now over one hundred thousand square feet of glass 

 devoted entirely to the growing of greenhouse plants, while many acres are devoted to the growing and 

 cultivation of hardy plants. 



Our stock of decorative plants, Palms, Dracaenas, Pandanus. Ferns, etc., is probably the most complete 

 in the country, twenty-five large houses being now required for this class of plants alone, while we give close 

 attention to all other desirable stock, such as Poses. Azaleas. Camellias. Caladiums. Taberons-rooted Begonias, 

 Gloxinias, and all bulbous and tuberous-rooted plants, New Caunas. Carnations, Double Petunias, Orchids, 

 hardy herbaceous plants, hardy vines and creepers, such as Clematis. Ampelopsis, Wistaria, etc. 



Our packing and shipping department has also been greatly improved and enlarged by the addition of a 

 large packing house, 150 x 25 ft., which is fitted with all the latest improvements for the prompt and rapid 

 handling of orders. The sketch at the head of this page is from a photograph and represents an every-day 

 scene of activity in this department, where plants are being carefully packed for shipment to all parts of the 

 country, at all seasons of the year. "We trust with these increased facilities to give even better service than 

 heretofore. 



"We extend a cordial invitation {o our friends to visit our nurseries at Riverton, which can be easily 

 reached in 30 minutes' time from Philadelphia by hourly trains.
