A Dollar's Worth for a Dollar, — We claim to give a dollar in real valne of plants for a dollar ; no more; and 

 have often noticed that when any one promises to give very much more than a dollar's worth for a dollar they are very 

 apt to give very much less. 



Have Your Plants Sent by Express, — If a plant is worth buying it is worth paying expre.s.s charges on. To 

 send plants cheaply by mail they must be so small as to be of little value, and where they are large and strong the 

 shock of removing the soil from their roots, necei<sary when ,sending by mail, would make them almost worthless. We 

 always add extras to help pay the express charges. 



No Plant Orders for less than One Dollar will lie lilled. Will send any amount of .seeds or bulb.s, oven if oidv 

 Ten ( 'enLs worth are ordered. 



We Guarantee safe delivery of all Flavin or SeerLt when sent by express, but all comiilaint.s, however, must be 

 maile at once on receipt of goods. We will not hold to our guarantee if, a mouth after, from inattention or other causes 

 plants have failed, and complaint is then made. Plants sent by mail or iVeight are entirely at the risk of the purclutser. 



Shipping Cut Flowers, — We ship Cut Flowers and Floral Work with fierfect safety to all points not over 

 twenty-four hours' journey by expres-s. Orders by mail or telegraidi [iromptly lilled. The Cut Flower growing de|)art- 

 ment of our busines.s is notably one of the liucst and most complete in .\tuerica, .and we oiler great advantages to re.si- 

 dents of the smaller towns and cities where line flowers cannot be obtained, a.s we lill all out-of-town orders direct from 

 our greenhouses, so that the (lowers are received as fresh ,is it is jios.sible to gel them, A telegraphic code and price

Five Notable Roses. 



American Beauty. 



This Ko.se was introduced last season as a cut-Mower Uose for wliiler blooming, and li.as achieved a reuuirkable pop- 

 ularity, but it also proved to be the nio.st valuable Hose for out-door cidtiu-e yet introduce<l. The flowers are eipial in 

 size and beauty to any Hybrid Perpetual of its color— a lovely, rich, rosy-crimson, and ileliciously fragrant. It is tnilv 

 ever-blooming, and of ea.sy cidture, and a lied of them caimot fail to give the greatest satisfaction ; we have found it 

 entirely hardy. Price— Largest size, 81 each ; ^iS) per dozen. Second size, 7oc. each ; $7,50 per doz. Third size, small 

 plants, ;5oc. each ; $3,o0 per dozen.

 great substance. Color, a rich, delicate rose, similar to that of Baroness Kothscliild. It is a wonderfidly strong grower

Mad, Gabriel Luizet. 



This, although not a strictly new Ko,se, is new enough to be comparatively little known. It is one of the most 

 beautiful Roses in the world, and we give it this [.rominence that its merits may become fully known to our customers. 

 The color is a most lovely shade of delicate silvery pink. The form is peculiarly graceful, and makes it one of the most 

 distinct of Roses; it is entirely hardy. Price, for large strong plants, ?il each. 



New Tea Rose, " The Bride." 

 The " Rride" is a pure white Ro.se of large size and most perfect form. The buds are pointed and the ends (.f the 

 petals are slightly curved back, giving it a most cha-stc and elegant appearance. This variety has the most delicious 

 tea fragrance and is a strong growing, free blooming Rose, either for summer or winter flowering. A large stock 

 enables us to after it very low. Price, first size, each; i^'J per dozen. Sei'oud size, OO cents eadi ; ^C, per dozen.

New Tea Rose, " Papa Gontier."

 cut Mowers, It is a most distinct and lovely Rose, reseu)bliug the old favorite Bo,i Silene somewhat, but being more than 

 double the size and dee|)er in color, being a rich, brilliant scarlet. It is an excellent summer Rose and very fine flow- 

 ering. It is very beautiful in the bud, and the flowers retain their fine color when fully expanded. Price, strong [ilants
