G. C. WATSON, PHILADELPHIA, TRADE LIST, FALL, 1896. 
Imported Indian Azaleas, 
For Forcing. 
Special Low Offer. 
The Azalea Plants furnished by me last season were acknowledged by 
all to be the finest they had ever seen for the money. ' They were grown for 
me by the largest Azalea grower in Belgium, and I am offering equally choice 
stock this year at the same low rates as last season for immediate orders. 
Orders must be sent to me at once, as I only import these plants on order. 
I do not get any across on chance of selling when they arrive. The margin 
of profit is too small and the risk too great. For prompt order, I offer for 
delivery, Fall 1896, F. O. B. Philadelphia, shapely plants, well headed, double 
and single, all named varieties, leading market kinds, at the following low rates:

Freesia Refracta Alba. 
The Freesia is one of the most profitable bulbs we know of for the commercial 
florist. The bulbs are ready for delivery in June, and can be planted at intervals, so 
as to give a succession during the season. The bulbs are now remarkably cheap, 
and the flowers are exceedingly popular and command ready sale at all times. 
I am pleased to say my supplies this season are the 
largest and finest I ever had and the prices the lowest.
