ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS COMPACTUS 



The Ne-w Fern-disli Asparagns. 



Asparagus Plumosns Compactiis. 



In this we have a plant that has long been wanted — a dwarf, 

 compact-growing Asparagus which does not exceed six inches in 

 height when fully grown, and one of the most graceful and 

 effective plants for filKng Fern-dishes for table decoration ever 

 introduced. 3-inch pots. 20 cts. each ; S2.00 per doz. 



Asparagus Myriooladns. 



An introduction from South Africa, and very aptly described 

 by a visitor to our nursery as "an aristocratic Asparagus 

 Sprengeri," from which, however, it is entirely distinct, both in 

 its habit of growth, as well as in the formation of its fronds. The 

 plant is of an almost erect habit of growth, producing fronds 

 from two to four feet long, which, when just unfolding, are of a 

 peculiar metallic bronze, from which they change to a golden- 

 green, finally maturing a rich emerald-green. 



Good plants, in 5-inch pots . , )?2 50 each.

Aspidistra Lurida Variegata. 



A nice lot in 5 -inch pots, with about 8 leaves each. 75 cts. 

 each; §9. 00 per doz. 



Azalea Mollis. For Forcing. 



Practically unknown for forcing purposes until a year or two ago, 

 the Azalea Mollis now holds a most important place, especially 

 for the early winter months, and is gaining greater popularity 

 each season ; they are easily manipulated at a mininum of ex- 

 pense, and can readily be flowered any time after the middle of 

 January. 



We are handling the stock of one of the most successful spe- 

 cialists and can supply in November fine, bushy plants, 15 inches 

 high, well set with buds, at 4.50 per doz.; $^5.00 per 100. 



Azaleas. For Forcing 



8^" Special Prices for Import Orders "^a 



We are the most extensive importers of Azaleas in the 

 country. Our stocks are grown by specialists, the most of whom 

 have been growing them especially for us for many years, and 

 all of the stock handled by us is personally inspected by our 

 own representative before shipped ; furthermore, oui importa- 

 tions are all sent over in bulk, and are repacked at our nurseries, 

 and any plants which have not carried well, or that are not well 

 set with buds are discarded, thus positively insuring to you only 

 first-class stock, which cannot be compared with cheap assorted 

 case lots, frequently made up in Belgium, and distributed on this 

 side just as received, often containing not only damaged plants, 

 but varieties not suited to the American trade. 



If you have never tried our stock, a single order will convince 

 you that we can save you money. 



We can supply in any assortment of the popular standard 

 sorts that you may desire, and can include any proportion of 

 Mme. Van der Cruysen that you may wish. 



Prices. Including duty, packing, and delivery in good 

 condition to any Express, Freight, or Steamship Line in 

 Philadelphia. Fine, bushy crowns, well set with buds.
