AGAVES AND YUCCAS. 
The Agaves and Yuccas are specialties of culture, and our collection, embracing 
over flfty species, is unsurpassed in this country, the flrst prize of the Massa¬ 
chusetts Horticultural Society having been awarded to us in 1873 and 1874. Many 
of them are yet so rare and scarce that we have but few plants for sale, but we 
invite amateurs to examine them. No plants are more decorative or move effective 
than these: and for the conservatory in winter, or lawn and garden in summer, 
they are highly ornamental as well as tropical in aspect. We possess many line, 
large specimens of the older kinds, the prices of which will be given on application.
