NOTHER busy season has passed, and we again present you with our 
Annual Rose and Plant Catalogue. While it cannot compare with 
many other catalogues in gorgeous pictures and still more extravagant 
descriptions, we aim to keep as close to the facts and truth as pos- 
sible, and in describing we prefer to say too little rather than too 
much in praise of a plant, and we hope this Catalogue may meet with 
the same cordial reception as those of previous years. We have tried to make the 
arrangement of plants in such a manner as to be easily understood, and not confusing 
to the ones who order from it. 
Our plants this season are in the best possible condition, strong and healthy. We 
have discarded everything that we have found wanting, and our southern friends will 
not find anything offered that will not do well in this climate. We make a specialty 
of growing Plants for the Southern Planter ; anything that is not desirable in 
this clime we do not offer. Our roses this season are up to the standard, and nowhere 
can better plants be had; we have discarded all sorts that are so similar that the dif- 
ference is hardly noticeable. We do not list several hundred sorts, but have the best. 
In conclusion, we wish to thank our patrons of last season for their liberal orders, 
and especially for the many kind words in praise of the quality of stock and fair 
treatment. We shall continue on the line as laid out, and shall do our best to so treat 
all who patronize us that they will have no cause for complaint. 
Awaiting your further command, we remain, 
Yours for flowers, 
The Haskell Avenue Floral Company
