These popular, fall-blooming plants arc now so well known, and universally grown, tha 
•inv extended description seems unnecessary. They thrive in almost any rich garden soil, arc 
easily cultivated, and will repay the care and attention given them with an abundance of 
liloom Very few, if any, of the varieties can be brought to perfection in the gardens ol the 
North,' and made to bloom before frost comes. If planted in pots or tubs, set out of doors 
in a cool shady situation during the summer, and brought into the house in the early fall, 
they should do' well aud thrive for any amateur. By pinching off the buds, as they bejim to 
set allowing only one to each branch, the flowers will be much larger and huer than il all 
buds are allowed to mature. Liciuid manure applied in moderate quantities during the bud- 
ding season is beneficial. The varieties we offer have been selected from among the hundreds 
introduced the past few years, and arc considered the cream of the list to date. We recom- 
mend all of tiicm to our" patrons. Prices, unless otherwise noted. loc each, $1.00 per doz.
