they are seldom without fine trusses of beautiful flowers of a lasting quality. Our collection includes ten of the 
best varieties of distinct colors. $1.50 to S3..50 each, according to size. For general named collection, see our 
General Catalogue, page 121. 
Cacti and Succulent Plants.

This class of plants is highly interesting, and is now being used very extensively in geometric gardening and 
grouping, in which it makes a most interesting feature. The larger growing species of this class as Agaves, Yuc- 
cas, etc., are most desirable for single specimens on the lawn, as they require less care than any other class of plants.

Aquatic Plants. 
Plants which grow in or near the water are receiving considerable attention now, and are well worthy of it ; 
for some of the most beautiful of all our flowers are aquatic in their nature. The exquisite Water Lilies, the stately 
Lotus, the wonderful Victoria Regia, serve, with others, to distinguish this class. It is not at aU difBcult, in re- 
ality, to provide for them the necessary conditions; they can be grown successfully in any pond or small pool of 
water, in basins, fountains, or even in tubs. They require from one foot to about eighteen inches depth of water. 
They are divided into the following classes : Tropical, Sub tropical and Hardy. 
We can furnish a dozen varieties, including Nymphaias in different shades of color, Lotus, Pontederias, Limno- 
charis. Papyrus, Limnanthemums and other strong growing varieties, for a general collection. 75 cts. to $10 each. 
A dozen plants in twelve varieties for $10.

Hardy Perennial and Herbaceous Plants. 
BORDER PLANTS. 
rOli YEARS this selection of plants was neglected in the craze for bedding plants, " mosaic work," and other 
ornamental work of far greater expense and less permanence, and many of the younger generation of horti- 
culturists have grown up in entire ignorance of some of our most beautiful perennials. Lattei-ly, however, 
the tide has been turning, and we are glad to note an increasing interest in these hardy plants. They give us vareid 
forms and flowers, from earliest spring to latest autumn, and are ever greeting us with beauty all the more welcome 
because somewhat fleeting. They have the vast advantage of needing little or no attention after a proper planting 
and continue in beauty for an indefinite period. 
These pei'ennials and herbaceous plants are available for beds and borders, for rockeries and wild gardens, as 
well as for (completing the outlines of shrubberies, or making clumps on the backgrounds of lawns. The following 
ist contains only the very best sorts, such as have been thoroughly tested and proved most satisfactory. 
We have one of the most complete collections in this county of this valuable class of permanent hardy plants. 
25 cents to ¥1 each, $3 to $9 per dozen. Special rates far larger quantities. 
Our General Catalogue contains a full and complete list, together with descriptions. Some of the principal 
classes have been treated in this supplemental catalogue, including Phlox, Pa;onias, Hollyhock, etc.
