W. B. WHITTIER & CO.'S WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
must be understood, however, that Paeonies never reach their best 
until two or three years after planting. 
While we have no large quantity of any one kind, we have over 
one hundred and twenty five varieties, and taking them all in all, 
we have about fifteen thousand plants. As we do not make any 
special effort to put this stock on the market except in our regular 
wholesale way, we have made the prices on many of the varieties 
offered herein about half, and in some cases considerably less than 
half of what most of the Paeony growers are asking for their plants. 
PHLOX. 
Assorted Varieties, as follows:— \ ^ 
Amazon, pure white, large flower, one of the best. 
Candeur, white, plant of dwarf habit, one of the fine, low-growing varieties. 
Charlotte Saisson, white crimson center. 
Eclaireur, purplish crimson, splashed with silvery rose. 
Eugene Verdier, lilac purple. 
James Callaway, bright crimson, rather small flower. 
Joseph Barra very dark, amaran h. 
Le Pole du Nord, white, crimson centre. 
Le Soleii clear pink, bright eye a fine variety. 
Lothair clear salmon, dark eye. 
Mad. Meuret brilliant red. carmine centre. 
Mad. Pape Carpenter, white, a good strong grower. 
Mad P. Langier bright red. a very showy variety. 
Madsen, outside petals white, inside deep pink. 
Richard Wallace, pure white, dark rose centre. 
R. Struthers, silvery pink, ciimson eye. 
In the foregoing pages, where we have offered stock in lots of ten only, 
it indicates that we have only a limited stock of such varieties. We would 
say, however, that in many cases where stock is offered by the hundred, we 
can furnish it by the thousand, and while we have not made thousand rates in 
this list, except in a few instances, we will be glad at any time to make 
special price by letter on two hundred and fifty, or more plants. This, of 
course, means where stock is not quoted by the thousand. We will not make 
a special thousand rate and ship the stuff in small lots, perhaps filling 
twenty-five or thirty orders out of a thousand, and bill at our special thousand 
rate. This we have been expected to do in many cases.
