Tbc Pruits apd Flowers 



mentioned in this list, and to be mentioned in succeeding lists, are more 

 than new in the sense in which the word is generally used ; they are new 

 creations, lately produced by scientific combinations of nature's forces, 

 guided by long, carefully conducted, and very expensive biological study. 

 I^et not those who read suppose that they were born without labor ; they 

 are not foundlings, but are exemplifications of the knowledge that the 

 life-forces of plants may be combined and guided to produce results not 

 imagined by horticulturists who have given the matter little thought. 



Limitations once thought to be real have proved to be only apparent 

 barriers ; and, as in any of the dark problems of nature, the mental light of 

 many ardent, persevering, faithful workers will make the old paths clear, and 

 boundless new ones will appear by which the life-forces are guided into endless 

 useful and beautful forms. 



We are now standing just at the gateway of scientific horticulture, only 

 having taken a few steps in the measureless fields which will stretch out as we 

 advance into the golden sunshine of a more complete knowledge of the forces 

 which are to unfold all the graceful forms of garden beauty, and wealth of 

 fruit and flowers, for the comfort and happiness of Earth's teeming millions. 



THE PRICES of all stock mentioned in this list will, unless sold, remain 

 the same until the next crop of fruit or flowers of each variety appears. After 

 still further test of these, under more favorable circumstances, the right is 

 reserved to increase the prices at once of such as may be considered of greater 

 value. 



TERMS: Cash, unless by special agreement. 

 Address all orders to
