Part II. 
Ornamental D 
ENT 
As the thousands of acres of fruit trees which have been planted, comparatively recently,, throughout 
the South begin to yield substantial results, the orchardist seeks to beautify his surroundings with trees and 
flowers and greenery. Nothing adds more to the comfort of life than a pleasing home landscape to delight 
the eye and gratify the aesthetic taste. In this genial Southern clime nature responds quickly and generously 
to the hand of art. The grounds about the villa afford a limitless field for artistic creation, and the cottager, 
by a little effort and trifling outlay, can environ his abiding place with loveliness. 
Heretofore our Catalogue has been confined almost exclusively to fruits. Each succeeding year 
inquiries from our patrons for ornamental trees and plants become more numerous. We have added a 
department of 41 Ornamental Trees and Plants,” embracing a good many roses and a limited number of other 
desirable ornamentals, to which we shall add from year to year. 
While our list of Roses is not extensive, it has been carefully selected from tested varieties, with a view 
to including those of greatest thrift and vigor and most satisfactory flowers in Florida and the Southern coast 
region. Most of the varieties offered have been grown for some years in our own Rose gardens. 
Selecting Varieties. In filling orders for Roses, when not instructed to the contrary, we reserve the 
privilege of substituting. It is a difficult matter to select from a descriptive list a collection of Roses which 
will subsequently prove satisfactory, unless one has some experimental knowledge of the merits and adapta¬ 
bilities of the different varieties as grown in this part of the country. Some of the best kinds in other 
sections are very poor here; on the other hand, varieties little esteemed elsewhere give the best results in 
this region. When desired to do so, we shall be glad to place our knowledge on the subject at the disposal of 
our patrons in making selection for them, and we would suggest that in most instances the best results can 
be obtained in this way. 
Antoine Mouton. (Hybrid Perpetual.) A vig¬ 
orous grower and early bloomer, bearing flowers of 
extraordinary size and fullness, which are very fra¬ 
grant. Bright clear pink, reverse of petals silvery 
rose. 
Archduke Charles. (Bengal.) Brilliant crim" 
son-scarlet, often marbled with lighter shades. 
Banksia alba. (White Banksia.) Same as the 
Yellow Banksia, except that the flowers are white. 
Banksia lutea. (Yellow Banksia.) Clusters of 
diminutive but exquisitely beautiful yellow flowers. 
The Banksia is entirely hardy in the South, where it 
is one of the most satisfactory climbers. It is as 
strong and rampant as the native Cherokee Rose, but 
■does not throw up suckers from the roots like the 
latter; the foliage, which bears little resemblance to 
that of other Roses, is striking and exceptionally hand¬ 
some. In spring it is a mass of yellow bloom. 
Bon Silene. (Tea.) Deep salmon-rose, illumined 
•with carmine ; highly scented. Valued for its buds, 
•which are large and of fine form and color. Very 
•strong and robust in this section, and bears profusely 
the year round. An old favorite. 
Bougere. (Tea.) Extra-large, very double and 
full; exceedingly sweet tea scent; color bronze-rose 
<or violet-crimson, delicately shaded with lilac. Vig¬ 
orous, and a profuse and constant bloomer. An old 
sort, but one of the most desirable. 
Captain Christy. (Hybrid Tea.) Extra-large, 
flat flowers, very full and regular ; the color is a 
lovely shade of pale peach,deepening toward the center 
to rosy crimson. Vigorous; a free and perpetual 
bloomer ; one of the best in our own gardens. 
Catherine Mermet. (Tea.) Buds very large, 
globular, the petals recurved, showing to advantage 
the bright pink of the center delicately shaded with 
amber and fawn. A strong grower and good bloomer. 
Cecile Brunner. (Polyantha.) Salmon-pink, 
with deep salmon center; admirable in bud and 
flower. 
Charles Lefebvre. (Hybrid Perpetual.) Red¬ 
dish crimson, sometimes with a shade of purple; 
very velvety and rich. Continues to bloom through¬ 
out the year. One of the most satisfactory of its 
class in this section. 
Cheshunt Hybrid. (Hybrid Tea.) Extra fine, 
large flowers, very double, full and perfect form ; 
delightfully fragrant; color ruby-crimson, passing to 
rich maroon ; a strong grower. 
Chromatella. (Cloth-of-Gold.) (Climbing Noi¬ 
sette.) Clear bright yellow; good form and sub¬ 
stance ; large, very full and double; very sweet; a
