0N the succeeding pages we offer a complete stock of growing plants, embracing flowering and '-foliage" plants, palms and decorative 

 plants for the greenhouse, conservatory and dwelling-house, hardy plants and shrubs for the lawn and garden, vines for the 

 house, garden and door-yard, small fruits and vegetable plants for the kitchen garden, and a general assortment of plants for all 

 purposes, making the most complete collection offered by any business firm in the country. Particular attention is directed to 

 Dur list of Koses and Chrysanthemums, also to the various new plants offered. Among the latter will be found the most valuable 

 "novelties" introduced in years, all of which have been thoroughly tried before being offered to our customers. 



NE"W MAMMOTH GIHj£NHOUSIiS — Tins year we have increased our facilities for supplying our customers' wants, 



having erected three mammoth iron greenhouses, each over thi-ee hundred feet 

 long, and remodeled others. The new structures are the embodiment of all that the builder's art can produce, and are unquestionably 

 among the finest on this continent; no expense has been spared, so that now we are in a better position than ever before to fill all 

 orders accurately and promptly with superior stock. 



WE EXTEND AN INVITATION t° every reader of this Catalogue to visit our Greenhouses and "Trial Grounds" in 



Jersey City, N. J. They are open for inspection every day in the week, except Sunday, 

 from 7 A. ir. to 6 p. m., and are well worthy of a visit at any season of the year. Visitors are always welcome, and any of our customers 

 visiting New York should not miss the opportunity to examine this important branch of our business, as our Greenliouses and "Trial 

 Grounds" are within forty minutes' time by ferryboat and horse-cars from our Seed Stores, .35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, New Yorlv, where 

 a card, with plain directions of " How to reach the Greenhouses," will be given to any one applying. A personal inspection of our plants 

 at the Greenhouses, Arlington Avenue, Jersey City, N. J., or at our Seed Warerooms, 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, New York, or a trial 

 order, will convince all of the high quality of our plants, and a most casual comparison will show that our prices arc the very lowa^t. Notice 

 our prices on Roses, Geraniums, Coleus, Clirysaiithemums and other leading things. It must always be borne in mind, however, that 

 SIZE enters into the question of price. Roses, for example, four or five inches high, and grown in two-inch pots, are dearer at ten cents 

 each to the buyer than a Rose a foot in height grown in a four or five-inch pot at thirty cents each, for in the case of the larger plants, 

 results are obtained at once, while with smaller plants half the season is over before any bloom can be obtained. 



THE EXTENT OF OUR GREENHOUSES. — ^"'" glass structures consist of Greenhouses and frames, which occupy 



4t^ acres solid in glass. The Greenhouses are heated both by steam and 



hot water, and are fitted up with every modern appliance, so that they are easily graded to any temperature; thus the most perfect 

 health and vigor is given to the plants. With such unequaled facilities foi- their production, we can compete with any in the matter of 

 prices. Special prices given on large quaiitities.
