EVERGREEN LODGE, 
"Alnt They Pretty.” 
that every flower loving friend from far and near might 
have an opportunity to behold the great beauty of the 
“Queen of Autumn.” We touch “Novelties” but slightly, 
as there is more opportunity to be humbugged by investing 
in them than anything we know of. The many novelties 
offered are in some cases a lot of old renamed, discarded 
stuff, given some high sounding name and scattered broad- 
cast over the land, only to hear each purchaser say after a 
year’s cultivation of it, “sold again.” There is enough of 
good well known varieties in every class of plants beautiful 
enough to give all the enjoyment to be found in their par- 
ticular class, to a majority of plant buyers. We guarantee 
satisfaction in every case, and if we have a dissatisfied customer, it is because 
we do not know it. Our business last season increased fifty per cent, over the 
previous year, and the outlook for this season is now encouraging. We have 
the finest stock of plants to select from that it is possible to accumulate. We 
would bo pleased where convenieut if our customers could pay us a visit and 
see our greenhouses and flowers. We have, owing to our large shipments over 
the lines of the Southern Express Company, secured a special rate of 25 per 
cent, less than their regular charges. The many flattering letters received by 
us would fill a book as large as this Catalogue, all of which we are most grateful 
for, and considered by us a high compliment to our business methods, and we 
here wish to return to all our heartfelt thanks for the words of encouragement 
as well as for the liberal patronage given us, and it is almost needless to add 
that it shall be our aim in the future as well as in the past to endeavor to please 
each one of our customers. The Southern people can never have a large and 
enterprising floral establishment if by their joint co-operation they do not help 
to make it so. It is needless to send to Northern florists for what you can secure 
nearer home. Apart from this, however, we would be slow to solicit a single 
order from any individual whatever upon the grounds that it is our good for- 
tune to live in the Sunny South. It is only because we can do as well for you 
and in most cases better, that we ask for a share of your patronage. With kind 
wishes for a happy New Year to all our customers and friends, 
We remain, most truly, James Mohton, Manager.
