Oor Leading Specialty in Plants. 



We call special attention to our stock of 

 Palms, which is the largest and most com- 

 plete in the South. Our stock of Phoenix 

 alone requires a large greenhouse, and all 

 other varieties on hand in proportionate 

 quantities. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



Our measurements of plants, where 

 given, as in the case of Palms, etc., means 

 the height of the plant from the tup 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 con- 

 tend 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.
