SPECIAL MENTieN. 
r IS worthy of notice tliat this is not an ordinary Catalof^ne, describ- 
ing a few articles witli donbtful accuracw l)nt instead a carefully 
arranged Manual and Catalogue, embracing a selection resulting 
from years of experience witli large qnantilics of plants for all 
decorative purposes. The plants named and tlescribed in the fol- 
lowing pages are the best in their respective classes, and we trust 
our friends who receive this Catalogue will do us the mere justice of appreciating 
the labor and expense incurred in presenting thus to them, in convenient, accurate 
and compact form, a graphic reflection of our immense stock — a stock representing 
our researches the world over for the best things in plant life. 
We ask especial attention to our department of Landscape Architecture, in which 
we are prepared to undertake work of any magnitude, and to our superior facilities for 
Decorative Work in plants and flowers. With more than a score of years of expei-ience 
in supplying a critical metropolitan clientage, we are justified, we think, in claiming 
sjiecial ability to meet any demands.
