Syracuse, New York. 
How can I thank you, not 
only tor the entirely satisfac¬ 
tory way in which you filled 
my order, hut for the large 
and liberal additions you 
have made in both Plants 
and Seeds. I set out all the Roses except one or two on the evening of their arrival, 
and all are doing well. I put the extra Plants you so generously sent into an angle 
bed fronting North and East, a situation which seems to just suit them, and call it 
the “ C. A. Reeser Corner.” All the plants in that bed look well. We regard you 
as a public benefactor, and if sounding your praises to all our friends and neighbors 
will be of any service to you, be assured that we will do our duty in that respect.

Mary Hill.—The finest doub¬ 
le pure pink color in our 
collection. The shade is 
quite even, soft, and 
bright, like a Hermosa 
Rose. It has a distinct 
white eye. The florets 
are of great size, form¬ 
ing fine large trusses, 
which are flat, rather 
than round. In addition 
to its lovely color, it is a 
most satisfactory grower, 
very free in bloom at all 
seasons, and is equally 
useful lor bedding or lor 
pot culture. 
Mademoiselle Hoste.—Um¬ 
bels large and borne 
well above the foliage, 
flowers ol enormous 
size, color flesh, lined 
and shaded with bright 
salmon. One of the very 
finest in the entire col¬ 
lection. Shading simply 
exquisite. 
Marie de liesnary.—Crim¬ 
son rose, center bright¬ 
ened with lilac. 
NEW DOUBLE IVY 
GERANIUM. 
Poet Nationale.—An extra 
fine fancy pot variety. 
The color is a delicate 
pink, deepening to a soft 
peach bloom, a mingling 
ol shades heretofore 
found only in the “ Lady 
Washington” class. A 
perfect Single Geranium 
ol an entirely new shade. 
Queen of the Belgians.— 
An English variety of 
great merit, the trusses 
are very large, pure 
white, undoubtedly the 
best single white Gera¬ 
nium ever sent out.

Mb. C. a. Reeser —Dear Sir: I desire to tell you how much pleasure my famly 
have had from the Rose bushes purchased from you last Spring. The Hybrids gave 
us nice large roses. One is still blooming, but the twenty-four Tea Rose bushes have 
given us more pleasure. I thought when they came that they were too small, but 
there has been no day since the last of June but what we have picked rose buds from 
them; and of ten bouquets ol from fifteen to twenty roses, my daughter decorated 
the church pulpit yesterday, and the bouquets ol Tea Roses filled the church with 
sweet perfume. They are still lull ol buds. The assortment which I left to you was 
choice, and I shall want a number of other varieties in the Spring. E. Y. Gbioqs.

Cbas. a. Reeser, Innisfallen Greenhouses, Springfield, Ohio— Dear Sir; It 
is no more than your right to know, and it is certainly very great pleasure to tell you 
of the result ol my order of plants received from you in the Spring. Every plant 
was alive and kicking when the basket came, and with the exception of lour or five 
mismanaged or killed with kindness, all are thriving, Roses, Geraniums, Hibiscus, 
Double Nasturtium, Pinks, Carnations, Althea, Hydrangea, Heliotrope, everything 
either blooming or budded. Chrysanthemums in fine shape, with never a bug thus 
far ol any kind. Thirteen Fuchsias, all showing different blooms. In fact, I simply 
write to express my satisfaction as a “greenhorn ” in what you were well aware 
would come to pass if the plants, were treated decently. When issued please send 
me a Fall Catalogue, and greatly oblige. Yours truly, John Q. Adams. 
Barnwell C. H., South Carolina, December 2, 1887. 
Please find $5.00 and my list ol Roses. The ones that I purchased of you last 
Spring are very fine. Your descriptions are accurate, and in not one am I disap¬ 
pointed. You are Indeed the “ Old Reliable ” when It comes to Roses. 1 have greatly 
profited by the Home Florist. Mrs. R. W. B.
