SUB-TROPICAL DIVISION.-Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Etc. 
Green-house Department. 
The great increase in the demand for Palms, Azaleas, Camellias and Hardy Ornamental Shrubs and Plants in the past few 
years, has thoroughly convinced us that this is "A DAY OF SPECIALTIES,” and therefore we have discontinued growing 
a general line of tedding and greenhouse plants, such as Geraniums, Heliotropes, Salvias Cannas, etc. 
The space heretofore occupied in our greenhouses by such plants is now devoted to producing a few specialties which are grown 
in immense quantities. The plants offered are in the test possible condition.

This magnificent geuus of plants basin the last few years become very popular, both for decorating the conservatory, green¬ 
house and for window-boxes. They are also admirably adapted for planting in the open ground. 
They do best in a partially shaded situation, especially where protected from the heat of the afternoon sun, and if the ground 
is well enriched will not fail to please the most fastidious. As soon as all danger of frost is past in the spring the plants or bulbs 
can be set out in the open ground. 
In the fall after the growth is finished, take up the bulbs and keep them in a warm, dry place, either in sand or charcoal, and 
in the spring they can again be set out. 
Our collection comprises over fifty of the best and most distinct varieties, including; over twenty-five of 
the new Brazilian sorts. 
A description of the wonderful combination of colors and beautiful blending of shades in these plants is impossible. In 
some the leaves are bright red with darker veins; some have a delicate rose-colored center, shading off to white; others aro pure 
white and so transparent that writing held beneath the leaf may be readily deciphered through it. Many varieties are as 
brightly colored and as delicately beautiful as flowers. A bed of these grand plants will not disappoint you. 
If the bulbs are started in a green house in December and potted frequently while in growth, they will make a most magnifi¬ 
cent display in the house until all danger of frost is past in the spring, when they can be set in open ground if desired. Otherwise 
by having the plants repotted as needed they can be kept in growth iu greenhouses continuously from January uptil October.
