I NTH OP UCTOHV. 
N PRESENTING our new edition for 1891 and supplement to 
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 editon, we have added to our collec- 
tion very many new and valuable plants of recent discovery and 
introduction, as well as brought forward a number of beautiful 
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 often be found the 
most charming forms, possessing all the attraction of the latest novelty, together 
with merit established by years of experience in their culture. We have for sev- 
eral 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 — notably in the case of our own specially grown 
strain of Tuberous-rooted Begonias. 
Our A.dv£intagGs. 
We are operating extensive tropical nurseries on our plantations in the West 
Indies, and are thus enabled to grow rapidly and to perfection, under the 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, Austraha and South 
America, are also a great advantage in procuring and exchanging rare and valu- 
able stock ; wherefore may it be readily understood that we are in an exception- 
ally favorable way of meeting all demands for new, rare and valuable plants at 
the most reasonable prices.
