OUR CHROMOS. 
For the purpose of increasing the love and culture of Flowers, we lnv<; for 
everal years published at least one Floral Chromo each year, and sometimes 
two. These are not cheap, inexpensive pictures, but good Chromos, made from 
paintings of flowers taken from our own grounds. W c have now eight of tlie.c 
Chromos, and feel safe in saving that there is no set of Floral Chromos in Europe or America 
so beautiful and truthful. We sell them at the cost to make, without desiring profit. We 
have them in two styles, on strong paper, sized and varnished; on cloth and stretchers, (and 
in this style they are exactly like an oil painting ready for the frame); and also Framed 
in Black Walnut and Gilt. Each Chromo is accompanied by a Key, giving the names of all 
the flowers. For convenience we designate the different Chromos by letters, from A to I 
inclusive. The sire, when not specified, is 19 by 24 inches. The little sketches we give 
on the third and fourth pages of the Cover show their character about as well as it can be 
shown in so small a space and without color. 
CHROMO A is 16 by 20 inches, and contains portraits of 31 varieties of our most popular 
flowers. 
CHROMO B was our old Lily Chromo, now substituted by I, which contains the new 
California Lilies. 
CHROMO C is an elegant piece, the flowers finely painted and exceedingly truthful. In 
our desire to get in as many varieties as possible, ii is thought by some that we have crowded 
it a little. It contains 41 varieties, and every one of natural size. 
CHROMO D is composed entirely of flowers of spring-flowering bulbs, such as Tulips, 
Hyacinths, Crocuses, Narcissus, &c., 36 varieties. 
CHROMO E represents Flora supporting a vase containing 36 varieties of our most 
elegant summer flowers. It is most beautiful and artistic, and is called Flora's Jewels. 
CHROMO F is a beautiful Floral Cross, made for us in Germany. It was designed 'o be 
19 by 24 inches, like the others, but by mistake it is only 18 by 23. It is an elegant ornament, 
either for the church or school or parlor. 
CHROMO G is a basket of flowers, 26 varieties, and a very beautiful and artistic work. 
It is 12 by 16 inches, being made small at the request of some of my customers who desired 
at least one small one for convenience of hanging and arranging. The price of this is only 
30 cents. 
CHROMO H is called Winter In-Doors and Out , and represents a stand covered with 
winter flowers, house-plants, &c., while from the window is seen the leafless trees, the snow- 
covered hillside, and other evidences of winter. It is a charming picture. 
CHROMO I is our new Lily Chromo , including all the California varieties, and we think, 
is the mast complete and perfect group of Lilies in the world. It takes the place of our old 
Chromo B, which lacked some new sorts.
