INTRODUCTORY 
IN PRESENTING a new edition of our General Catalogue, we wish 
to call attention to the variety and extent of our stock as well as to 
its superior condition. Since the issue of the last edition, we have 
added to our collection very many new and valuable plants of recent dis- 
covery and introduction, as well as brought forward a number of beau- 
tiful species which, while years ago found among the finest collections, 
have, through neglect or perhaps extreme modern fashions, been partially 
lost sight of. Among these latter especially may o'ten be found the 
most charming forms, possessing all the attraction of the latest nov**lty, 
together with merits established by years of experience in their culture. 
We have for several years given especial attention to the re-introduction of 
many such deserving and valuable plants to their former place in the 
esteem of the horticultural public, and with gratifying success.

OUR ADVANTAGES 
We are operating extensive tropical nurseries 
on our plantations in the West Indies, and are thus 
enabled to grow rapidly and to perfection, under 
most favorable circumstances, many things which 
are slow and difficult of culture in North America, 
Our direct connections with the most prominent 
botanical and commercial establishments of Europe, 
the East Indies, Australia and South America, are 
Our Store at 5th Avenue and 37th Street in 1877 
also a great advantage in enabling us to procure and ex-

meeting all demands for new, rare and valuable plants at 
the most reasonable prices.
