STILB DJSJPA.RTjyTJEjNI. — The immense quantities of Bulbs which we handle, enable us to supply them 

 at the lowest possible prices. Our sources of supply are the best in this country and abroad, the leading growers 

 of the world having for years supplied us with their choicest stock. 



S^ED DUPA-RTIMLEWT, — 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 DMPARTMEIi T.—Ovix 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 weU-grown, 

 and vnll compare favorably vrith stock distributed by us la 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-grovsTi plants. ■ 



Our Palm cultures are now undoubtedly the largest and most complete in the country. 



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