PUR^TS pOH F^O^ISTS. 



Our stock of decorative plants, such as Palms, Ferns, Pandanus, Ficus, Aiaucaria, etc., etc., is now very complete " t 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. 



Our Measurements of Plants w ^ ere g lveiJ ! as in t Qe case of Araucarias, Palms, etc., etc., means the height of 



the plant from the top of the pot to the top of the plant in its natural position. 

 We make this explanation of our way of measuring, as many growers contend that the proper measurement is from the 

 bottom of the pot to the tip of the longest leaf, and make their offers in that way. 



An Invitation. 



Whenever possible, we solicit a personal inspection of our stock. Our Nurseries at Riverton, 

 N. J., are within easy reach from either Philadelphia or New York (Time Tables on application) 

 and something of interest will always be seen. We have considerably increased our facilities for the handling of Aquatic 

 Plants, and our Water Lily Garden is now the largest and most complete in the world. This alone is well worth a visit 

 from the most distant points. Aquatics are at their best from early July until late September. The collection not only 

 includes large lots of the most popular sorts, but all the latest introductions and many new sorts of which we possess the 

 entire stock, and which have not yet been disseminated ; the different varieties of Victorias luxuriate here, and from 

 present indications feel safe in saying that one or more sorts will be found in flower any day during the season.

Agebatum Pkj^ckss Pauline. 



Acacia Armata. 



A pretty spring flowering variety which produces its 

 flowers in globular heads from the axils of the foliage in 

 such a manner as to completely envelope the plant in a 

 pleasing light yellow ; an excellent plant for Easter forc- 

 ing, succeeding under the same culture as the Azaleas. A 

 nice lot of bushy plants. 6 inch pots, $1.00 each; 7 inch 

 pots, $2.00 each. 



Ageratum Princess Pauline. 



A most distinct and novel variety of dwarf compact 

 habit, rarely exceeding five inches in height, its peculiarity 

 being that both colors, blue and white, are combined in the 

 same flower ; the body of the flower being white, while the 

 stamens are of a light sky blue, giving the flower a pretty, 

 variegated appearance ; one of the most distinct new bed- 

 ding plants, and a most desirable plant for the retail trade. 

 $1.25 per dozen; $10.00 per 100. 



Allamauda Williamsii. 



This handsome variety is entirely distinct from all others, 

 being quite dwarf and in no way resembling a climber, 

 but forming a compact bush with trusses of bloom at every 

 point, and having from two to four expanded blooms on 

 each extremity at the same time and buds innumerable. 

 It continues flowering the whole summer, and, with proper 

 management, in the winter also. The flowers are of a 

 very rich yet delicate tint of yellow, deliciously scented. 

 3 inch pots, 15 cts. each ; $1 50 per dozen.
