Palms 
In the whole vegetable kingdom there is no family of plants so graceful, attractive, 
and one that deserves to be so generally cultivated, as palms. Most kinds are invaluable 
for decorative purposes and house culture. We have omitted to price any of the varieties, 
as the prices are governed by the size of the plant, and vary from 50c. to $1.00 each, 
according to size and kinds, of which we would be pleased to give particulars on ap¬ 
plication. 
Select fine large showy plant for $1.00; or 6 fine plants in 6 varieties for $5.00. 
We have the finest stock that swept the boards of all principal prizes: Chicago, Bos¬ 
ton and London. 
Ferns 
This class of plants so strongly in favor with the public at the present time and, 
therefore, we carry a very large stock of all the leading varieties of ferns, including some 
large specimens, and also some grand specimens of Tree Ferns, prices and sizes of which 
we will be pleased to give on application. 
We shall be pleased to furnish the intending purchaser with a fine collection of 6

Furnishing and Building of New Conservatories and Greenhouses 
This is one of our specialties, being better equipped than any other firm in the United 
States for that purpose. W6 would, therefore, advise parties that contemplate the build 
ing of any new conservatories or greenhouses, to correspond with us, as we may be able 
to give them some useful advice regarding the proper construction of the buildings that 
would be practical for plant-growing. 
When ready to furnish a conservatory or greenhouse of any kind with Palms, Fern 
Trees, Ferns, Foliage or Flowering Plants, Orchids, Gardenias, Roses, Carnations or 
Chrysanthemums, please communicate with us, and we will make you a specification and 
estimate and furnish plants that will give you a satisfactory result at a very model ate 
cost. 
Exchanges and Purchases 
Notwithstanding that our collection of plants of all classes is very large, we are 
always ready to hear or enter into correspondence with parties for either any new or rare 
plants for sale or for exchange for other stock; also anyone having overgrown large 
species or new useful horticultural plants or having accumulated a large stock of every 
day greenhouse or garden plants who wishes to dispose or exchange for some..?! 
rare varieties to add to their collection with whom we will trade liberally. We woi 
also be pleased to enter into correspondence with any gentleman intending to travel 
countries that have not been much explored, where there would be a chance for d sc 
ing and adding some new and rare species of plants. In each case we would thank th 
intending correspondent to state everything plainly and give full details and information 
so as to enable us to act decisively and promptly.
