SPECIAL MENTION.

we SN 7 o T IS worthy of notice that this is ve/an ordinary Catalogue, describ- ing a few articles with doubtful accuracy, but instead a carefully arranged Manual and Catalogue, embracing a selection resulting from years of experience with large quantities of plants for all

decorative purposes. The plants named and described in the fol-

lowing pages are the best in their respective classes, and we trust our friends who receive this Catalogue will do us the mere justice of appreciating the labor and expense incurred in presenting thus to them, in convenient, accurate and compact form, a graphic reflection of our immense stock—a stock representing our researches the world over for the best things in plant life.

We ask especial attention to our department of Landscape Architecture, in which we are prepared to undertake work of any magnitude, and to our superior facilities for Decorative Work in plants and flowers. With more than a score of years of experience in supplying a critical metropolitan clientage, we are justified, we think, in claiming

special ability to meet any demands.

Virw OF AN AVENUE IN OUR UNITED STATES TROPICAL. NURSERIES, DABADIE, TRINIDAD, WEST INDIES.

It ts at this, our branch right in the tropics, that we grow to such unex- ampled perfection the decorative plants and palms which are used to such great effect in New York, and, in fact, all through the country. We have discovered that such plants, grown with our advanced knowledge, but directly in their native habitat, under a tropical sun, attain a richness and strength not to be obtained in greenhouse culture at the north. Not only are they thus better at the outset, but they endure the trials of decorative use and changes of temperature better. Such is the stock we offer in the following pages. We receive shipments direct from Trinidad fortnightly through the season.

Wf have added to our collection very many new and valuable Uf plants of recent discovery and introduction (many raised in our

\WZ own Nurseries, and now first offered for sale), as well as

S&S EIN \ i ( WA WZ brought forward a number of beautiful species which, while ally ee years ago found among the finest collections, have, through aa neglect or perhaps extreme modern fashions, been partially

lost sight of. We have for several years given especial atten- tion to the re-introduction of many such deserving and valuable plants to their former

place in the esteem of the horticultural public, and with gratifying success.

Our Hodvantages.

We are operating extensive Tropical Nurseries on our plantations in the West Indies, and are thus enabled to grow rapidly and to perfection, under the most tavorable circum- stances, many things which are slow and difficult of culture in North America. It is here that we raise the Palms and other decorative plants now so largely used in the best private dwellings to bring the charm of the tropics to our homes, as well as for the adornment of club houses, hotels and places of amusement on all festive occasions. No other spot in the world is so well adapted for the production of these plants in full beauty and vigor. The trans- portation facilities are now such that we can bring these plants to New York in perfect order. The fine shape, coloring and general good condition of such stock is always a subject of remark, and being grown in so favorable a location, they are able to stand our climatic changes much better than if brought from the extreme tropics.

Our home establishment, the Rose Hill Nurseries, at New Rochelle, N. Y., is very ex- tensive and well arranged. It includes a very large area of glass-houses of the most approved modern construction, together with aquatic ponds and well located grounds for the growth of outdoor stock under favorable conditions.

Our direct connections with the most prominent botanical and commercial establishments

AL SIEBRECHT & WaDLEY’s CATALOGUE OF

of Europe, the East Indies, Australia and South America are also a great advantage in pro- curing and exchanging rare and valuable stock; wherefore, may it be readily understood that we are in an exceptionally favorable way of meeting all demands for new, rare and valuable

plants at the most reasonable prices.

El Visit Solicited.

We invite personal inspection of the stock in our show houses, at New Rochelle. Here are constantly to be seen many interesting sights not common to ordinary nurseries—rare Orchids and tropical plants in bloom, grand specimen Palms and Cycads, a profusion of the finest Roses, fine Aquatic Plants, etc., etc. We are glad to see visitors any day except Sunday, and the Rose Hill Nurseries are easy of access from New York. Trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, leaving the Grand Central depot (Forty-second street) every hour, pass New Rochelle, and cabs and stages for the Nurseries will be found at the station on the arrival of all trains. We have telephone communication, also, with New York city.

Conditions Under Which We Conduct Our Business.

1. The prices given in this Catalogue are for well-grown and well-developed plants of suitable shipping sizes; larger plants can nearly always be supplied at proportionate prices. No stock, however, is so small and weak as that supplied by many firms who make a specialty of the ‘‘mail” trade, and our plants are incomparably better than any so furnished ; they are well worth paying expressage or freight on.

2. All purchasers are requested, when ordering by mail or otherwise, to give their proper address, and directions where to and how they desire their orders shipped—whether by freight or express; if there 1s any choice of routes, name the one preferred. When not advised how to ship, we exercise our own judgment, and forward to the best advantage of the purchaser.

3. New customers and persons unknown to us are kindly requested to accompany their esteemed orders either with cash, post office orders or draft on New York, or with satis- factory references.

4. All orders are carefully packed for shipment by experienced hands, so that they may be sent to even far distant points with perfect safety ; and no charges are made for packing and shipping by express or freight at New Rochelle. Our close proximity to New York city enables us to ship by any of the very many routes centering in the Metropolis.

5. After delivery to forwarders, in good condition, all shipments are at customer’s risk, and complaints of any kind will not be entertained unless made within five days of receipt of stock. Errors, however, are cheerfully corrected if prompt notification is given; for which purpose we suggest that purchasers promptly inspect plants when they are received.

NEW PLANTS OF MERIT.

Introduced to Commerce by Siebrecht & Wadley.

UR NOVELTIES are given precedence in this General Catalogue, not only because as entirely new plants they will attract especial attention from all who love flowers, but also because they are of unusual beauty and sterling worth, having been tested under our own eyes and found valuable for general distribution and culti-

vation. Our new Ferns, Palms, Hybrid Draceenas, Amaryllises and superb Climbers deserve special attention.

Abutilon, Souvenir de Bonn.

(Andenken von Bonn.)

A most striking new decorative foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly and evenly marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the gracefully drooping, orange-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, i forming a clear and brilliant contrast. In habit of growth this er Ae i Abutilon is tree-like—strong and upright, but quite graceful. For ; ; summer bedding and greenhouse decoration in winter it is equally an } valuable. $2. ON

Aglaonema costata.

A pretty dwarf decorative stove plant, f with fine, heart-shaped, leathery green leaves, sharply spotted with white, and A , having distinctly marked midribs. $2. i y : [

New Hybrid Amaryllids. Q These new hybrid Amaryllises are the if \ s \' Ne result of our own crosses from the well-known op" 4 4 A. aulica, Gravesiana, Thomas Speed and Em- press of India. They are all excellent for forcing { BX, and winter flowering. is fF PNW a a

Mrs. E.R. Ladew. The largest-flowering Ama- W. ryllis obtained so far. The bulbs bloom pro- fusely, sending upa strong, shapely growth of foliage and flower clusters. The individual flowers measure from nine to ten inches in diam- eter, and are rich, brilliant crimson-scarlet, with a soft, velvety surface. $3.

Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger. A brilliant hybrid, having the general character of Empress of India. The flower-stems are strong and upright, each one supporting a cluster of four or five perfectly round, full flowers of a thick, vel- vety texture and bright scarlet color, with a yellow disc. $3.

Rubra Striata. The most distinct hybrid Amaryllis yet introduced. The delightfully fra- grant flowers are borne on thick, strong stems, three to five in a cluster, and are rich, dark crimson, regularly striped with white. They are very striking and of great substance, re- maining perfect a long while. $3.

6° SIEBRECHT & WaDLEY’s CATALCGUE OF

ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS IMBRICATA. (Zhe Seed or Spore-bearing A. Farleyense.)

New Maiden-Hair Fern, Adiantum Capillus-Veneris imbricata.

An exquisite new Fern, somewhat similar to A. Farleyense, but superior to it in so many ways that we predict sharp rivalry between the two. The fronds of A. C.-I. imbricata are of good size and full and graceful in habit, the individual pinnae being more crested than those of A. /urlevense. The new Fern is much more easily propagated than the old favorite, because it bears spores, and also grows much faster. More dense and bushy; hardier, and does

not need so high temperature ; the coming Fern for table decorations. $2,

Adiantum Siebrechtii.

A distinct and robust form, supposed to be a cross between A. decorum and A, Williamsii. The strong and vigorous fronds are thickly set with individual round pinne of a hardy texture. The plant is free in growth and exceedingly graceful; all these good points make it of extra value for decorative purposes. $2.

Allamanda magnifica odorata.

This is certainly the most valuable plant added to our collection of greenhouse climbers for years. Its habit is much like that of the well-known Al. Scholtii, or A. Hendersonti, and its flowers are similar to those of that variety,

but are a somewhat lighter shade of yellow and very fragrant—a jasmine-like odor, subtle and delightful. $5

Anthurium Siebrechtianum.

A distinct and valuable novelty for the stove-house. Plant of strong and free-growing habit; leaves of rich, velvety green, with lighter midrib and margins of tnick, leathery texture; veins and nerves shaded as in 4. mag nificum. Flower scape issuing from the crown and rising slightly above the leaves ; the flower-stalk and small spathe light green, shading to creamy white, while the large spadix is, when fully developed, of a rich, coral_

¥ IS

are ofa peculiar jike crimson, giving it a decidedly rich and showy appearance. $2.50

New, Rare and BEautTIFUL PLaNtTs. 7

New Hybrid Fern, Asplenendrium strictum.

This fine new Fern is a hybrid between Asplenium nidus and Scolopendrium crispum. It is one of the few ferns that can be called an actual garden hybrid, for most new plants of this class that are introduced are either species that are found in various parts of the world, or natural chance hybrids which usually originate in most ferneries without design. This new Fern, however, partakes very thoroughly of the habits and characteristics of both its parents, the Bird’s-nest Fern and the crested hardy Scolopendrium, and is really the first species in a new and distinct genus. It has been proved a tough and hardy house-plant, and as it is free-growing and easily propa- gated from spores, will be a valuable com. mercial foliage plant, for which use it is most heartily commended. $2.

Begonia metallica aurea variegata.

In this beautiful plant are combined richly colored foliage and handsome flowers. It is a sport from B. metallica, which it re- sembles in habit of growth and in the metal- lic greenish cast of the leaves, but the leaves of this new Begonia are beautifully marked and variegated with cream-white and rose- pink. The color combinations displayed in the plant are marvellously artistic and har- monious. The flowers are like those of B. metallica, and just as abundant. A rapid grower, and, like its parent, an excellent decorative plant. $1.50.

Croton, Mrs. H. F. Watson.

One of the finest large-leaved Crotons. In the young state the leaves are green, but

as they mature the green, deepens and A NEW FERN, ASPLENENDRIUM STRICTUM. changes toa bright, bronzy crimson, striped;

spotted and blotched with rich golden yellow and edged with salmon; the midribs and veins are bright red. The plant is strong and vigorous in habit, growing rapidly into the symmetrical form so much admired for specimens. $2.50.

New Dwarf Draczenas.

With these plants we introduce a new type among Draceenas. They are of dwarf and compact habit, with the foli- age compactly arranged about the stem; the fact that on an average plant six inches high 22 leaves were counted, isa sufficient illustration of the density of growth, which is yet free and healthy. This new type must prove most valuable for jardiniere work.

DRACAENA Jardiniere. A hybrid of D. terminalis alba and D. Guilfoylei. This is, doubtless, the smallest- growing Draczena in cultivation ; it is of round, symmetrical form and compact habit, with narrow, bright green leaves broadly margined with pure white. For table decoration this neat, pretty miniature Dracaena is especially adapted, as it has proved to be free in growth, and colors beautifully when young. $5.

Little Gem. A hybridof D. terminalis and D. Norwoodiensis, anda plant well deserving its name. It is dwarf and dainty in character, with bronze-green leaves edged and suffused with clear, deep pink. Just such a plant has long been needed as a center-piece for table jardinieres. Cocos Weddeliana, delicate and feathery, and Pan- danus Veitchit, prettily striped, have both done duty for this purpose, but until this pretty bit of a foliage plant was evolved no plant combining sufficiently brilliant color with compact and symmetrical habit had been found. It is easily propagated, grows fast, and colors with the first leaves. $5.

Violetta. Another of the miniature class, and entirely unique. The foliageis of medium width, upright and grace- fully recurving, and very compactly set around the stem; the color is a deep uniform wine-red, but slightly lighter in the young leaves. This plant will contrast most effectively with light green foliage in jardiniere work. $5.

8 SIEBRECHT & WaDLEY’s CATALOGUE OF

New Broad-Leaved Dracznas.

We present below several new Dracaenas of our own hybridization. In these, it has been our aim to obtain not only the fine coloring usually striven for by hybridizers, but also a strong and vigcrous habit and an enduring constitu- tion, in order that the varieties may be fully available for the hard usage of decorating and outdoor sub-tropical plant ing. In this we have succeeded to a remarkable degree, and the new varieties here presented are a very considerable advance in this useful genus.

DRACAENA, American Florist. Of upright growth, with recurving leaves, which are of a very bright and lively green, varied with clear white and sharply edged with rosy pink. An attractive and useful variety of strong growth and graceful habit. A hybrid between D. Cooperi and D. marginata alba. §$5.

Mrs. H. McK. Twombley. One of the most remarkable Draczenas ever seen. A majestic plant of strong growth and vigorous, upright habit ; its very.broad and beautifully-waved foliage, held at an angle of 45°, attracts the eye first by symmetry of form, antl holds it to be further delighted by remarkable coloring. At the base of the plant the older leaves present a asea, blackish crimson surface, varied in the younger foliage with the rich color- ing of American Beauty rose, and crowned by central leaves, with delicate tints ef pink and crimson, only compar- able to the sunrise sky. A specimen plant of this species will always command instant attention. $10.

Mrs. Terry. A hybrid of D. Scottii and D. terminalis, showing its relationship to the latter in general aes ance, but having broader leaves, with a particularly wide base and an odd, beautiful coloring distinctively its own. Two-thirds of the entire leaf is a soft, charming, deep rosy pink, the remainder being a greenish Grows young plants color brightly while yet small, and grow rapidly into symmetrical form. $7.50.

Stricta albo-lineata. This is certainly the best white-variegated Draczna yet introduced. Nearly all sorts of this type now in cultivation have proved weak in constitution, coloring or RECN and are, therefore, very un- satisfactory. But this new form, we are glad to announce, has, after two years’ trial, proved itself robust in P habit

and regular in variegation and form of growth, the latter being much like that of D. stricta grandis. Distinct and valuable; hybridized from D. terminalis alba and JD. Scottii. $7.50.

Titsworthiana. Of distinct and compact habit, the leaves reflex- ing to form each a semi-circle. The coloring is attractive; the ground is a light and very bright green, varied with white and clear salmon and margined with pink. An excellent variety for table decorations, coloring finely when very young. $2.

Mrs. C. F. Havemeyer. A stately plant, with splendid coloring somewhat like that of D. hybrida, but richer and much more intense. The stems of the leaves, as well as the plant-stem, partake of this color, which we can only describe as a combination of salmon-pink and rosy red. The plant grows rapidly, and is quite distinct; a hybrid between D. Scottit and D. hybrida. $7.50.

Mrs. Geo. M. Pullman. One of the finest of our broad-leaved hybridizations. A cross between D. Scotti: and D. terminalis alba, it mingles the coloring of both. The remarkably broad leaves are set in compact arrangement about the stem at a considerable angle, assuming a beautiful recurved or semi-pendulous form, which reveals the rich coloring of the central foliage, including rich green, shading through creamy lemon color to snowy white, again melting into clear pink and light crimson. This variegation often extends over more than half the leaf, and in the older foliage is bright, bronzy green, with deep pink shades and suffusion. $10.

Mrs. Geo. J. Magee. A handsome, broad-leaved hybrid (D. Scollii X D. stricta grandis). The color is light green, beauti- fully varied with bright, clear pink, and edged with the same shade. The whole stem is of a handsome, light crimson, which is prominent in the entire plant, giving it a remarkable character. The plant is strong and regular in growth, coloring freely while very young. $5.

Draczena Sanderiana.

This grand novelty of recent introduction is a most beautiful addi- tion to this already charming class of foliage plants. As will be seen in the illustration, it is of a very distinct character, and altogether different from anything ever introduced. Asa single plant it is most valuable for jardiniere work and table decorations, but if three to nine plants are mz issed together it makes the finest exhibition speci- men that can be found. The leaves are of a heavy texture, adding DRACAENA SANDERIANA. greatly to its value as a decorative plant. $10, $15 and $20.

The plant has also proved to be an excellent winter bloomer ; plants with half-developed buds put into the house in late fall can be brought into bloom in four weeks, in a moderately warm house. The plant is perfectly hardy, grows very easily and rapidly, and comes in bloom when quite small, forming with its many stalks bushes twelve to eighteen inches high. The blossom resembles a beautiful feather ball of fresh rose color. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

New Koses in Sight.

We are propagating at Rose Hill Nurseries, for dissemination as soon as ready, some most remarkable Roses, brief mention of which follows. We are sure that these Roses will mark a great advance.

A New Class of Roses—the Carman Collection of Rugosa Hybrids, and the Dawson Hybrid Rugo-Jacqueminot, ‘‘ Arnold.”

These new Roses form a distinct class unlike any type ever known to cultivation, containing, in a measure, the strength and beauty of the popular Rosa rugosa (from Japan) and the color and fragrance of some of our best garden Roses. They are wonderful results of careful cross-fertilization—the work of years by Mr. E. S. Carman, editor of 7he Rural New- Yorker, and Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum. We own the entire stock, and hope to send them out during 1895. Sets of ten distinct varieties will be offered at $10; 5 varieties for $6; single plants at $1.50 each. Orders for these Roses received and entered now.

Our New Pedigree Rose, ‘‘ Belle Siebrecht.”’

We will offer to the public in 1895 the new pedigree Rose, ‘‘ Belle Siebrecht,’’ the result of years of patient work by one of the best rosarians in the world. It shows many points in advance of any existing varieties of its class in color, vigor and general good qualities. It is not sent out for the public to try ; we have been subjecting it to the most severe tests, and are now fully satisfied that it is the best florist’s Rose in existence. The color is of the peculiar deep rose which has made ‘‘American Beauty’’ famous, but much deeper and yet brighter, and with a wonderful glow, and shading to brighter pink when exposed to the fullest light. Unlike ‘‘ Beauty,’’ its only tint of purple is when it is first cut, when the tinge of a reddish violet adds brilliancy; as it fades, the tint becomes a lighter and brighter pink. The plant has broad and bright foliage, and the bud is of the much-desired long, tapering shape. Orders booked now, to be filled in rotation, at $1 each, $10 per dozen.

There is presented a brilliant array of decorative plants for both

greenhouse and garden, noteworthy among the latter being the new hybrid Begonias and Cannas for bedding.

the new Orchids offered here we ask especial attention.

Amomum vittatum.

A very remarkable and striking plant, much resembling the Maranta. It is of dwarf habit, producing tufts of lan- ceolate coriaceous green leaves, having whitish bars or stripes between the nerves, of which there are six or eight principal pairs ; the flowers are rosy red, borne in dense spikes at the foot of the leaf-stalk. $1.50 to $5.

APHELANDRA chrysops. One of the handsomest species yet introduced, producing a grand golden inflo-

rescence a foot in length, composed of four rows of com-.

pound, ovate, pointed bracts, proceeding from which are flowers of the same bright yellow color. To add to its beauty, this plant has also strikingly variegated leaves, thus combining two attractive qualities, and rendering it one of the most desirable of ornamental plants. It has been imported from Brazil. $1.50 to $3. (See cut, page 14.)

A. fascinator. Flowers bright vermilion, in very large spikes; foliage olive-green, beautifully banded with silvery white, whilst the under side is purplish violet ; fine. $1.50 to $3.

The Begonias have attracted great attention during the last three years, and quite fittingly, since we do not know of another class of plants wherein so much progress has been made as in this useful and handsome genus. All the good qualities of the various types and sections have been so manipulated that now we have them combined in what might be called an Improved Section. These Be- gonias are perfect in habit of growth; they have beautiful foliage in all the various shades, from fresh, light green through yellowish and brownish greens to rich bronze; they have exquisite, waxen flowers, superb in form and color, and borne in great panicles abundantly and inces- santly ; and they are especially adapted for bedding, be- cause they stand the hot sun well.

Gloire de Lorraine. Of dwarf, compact habit, with roundish, fresh green, bronze-tinted leaves, and well- set, four-petaled flowers of fresh, rosy carmine; an abu-dant bloomer. The French and German press pronounce this the best Begonia ever introducod. $3.

Other New Begonias.

Begonia Vernon. This beautiful new Begonia has been universally accepted as the most useful novelty of its class. The Semperflorens blood shows plainly in its strong, dwarf, compact habit and freedom of bloom. The flowers are brilliant orange- carmine, witha yellow center. The plant flowers the entire season, and is one of our best bedding varieties. This Begonia promises to be one of the best of recent in- troductions. 50 cents.

Begonia Baumanni. This is the sweet- scented Tuberous Begonia—a very dwarf plant, bearing its flowers on long stems. ( They are exceedingly bright and pretty, of (je Mss 7 good size, and quite fragrant. A goad, s free-blooming bedder, and undoubtedly a most useful acquisition. ¢r.

Novelties in Clematis.

C. Brevicordata. This new Clematis is a native of Japan. It grows very rapidly, quickly covering a large space with its handsome, dark green foliage. The pure white flowers are of medium size, delightfully fragrant, and borne in such profusion that the whole plant seems a drift of white. In general character this species is somewhat like C paniculata, but has the advantage of flowering fully a month earlier, and consequently is not so liable to be injured by early frosts. From early August until autumn it is covered with bloom. $r.

Another new and especially valuable

Japanese Clematis, that has been well tested around

Newport and other localities, and been found so

beautiful, free-flowering and hardy that a great demand

for it has arisen. The foliage is broad and luxuriant, a

deep, clear green ; the flowers are pure or cream-white,

star-shaped, about an inch in diameter, and borne in clusters on stiff stems from four to six inches long in the axil of nearly every leaf. Their fragrance is subtle and remarkable, distinctly pleasing, and noticeable at quite

a distance from the plant. Its blossoming-time fills a

gap where other climbers are flowerless; from mid-

August till late September it is a cool, fragrant bank of

white. The plant grows so rapidly that in a short time

it converts trellises, porches, or the sides of buildings to living walls of green. (See cut on page 19, showing it on our office.) 25 cts, 50 cts. and $1.

NIDULARIUM STRIATUM.

DRACAENA indivisa atropurpurea. Beautiful new variety of this popular class, with bright crimson-red foliage. One of the most desirable additions to the cool section of Draczenas. $5.

D. argenteo-striata. An extremely elegant narrow- leaved species, imported from the South Sea Islands. It has linear lanceolate bright green leaves, beautifully striated and occasionally margined with creamy white, the bright green being also relieved with streaks of silvery gray. It is of exceptionally neat habit, and ad- mirably adapted for table decoration and other orna- mental purposes. $5 to $7.50.

Lilium Wallichianum superbum.

A greatly improved form of ZL. Wallichianum, bearing long, tubular, very sweet-scented flowers of a rich apricot- yellow. It blooms in summer, and is a most distinct and desirable lily. $1.

Nephthytis picturata.

A very distinct and ornamental stove aroid from the Congo, remarkable for the handsome, variegated character of its foliage. The plant is stemless, with terete green

petioles growing about a foot high, and broadly ovate- hastate leaves, which are abruptly pointed at the apex; the color is bright green, with a silvery white variegation between the nerves. The variegation is peculiar and quite unique in character, forming a pattern resembling in outline the tips of fern fronds laid between the nerves, with their points all directed towards the base of the leaf. $4.

Nidularium striatum.

This striking and ornamental bromeliaceous plant has been imported from Brazil. It has bright green leaves from eight to twelve inches long, most effectively striped

or striated with a central white variegation, deepening off

to creamy yellow, rendering it a charming and attractive decorative plant. The margins of the leaves are freely furnished with small spinose teeth. $7.50 to $15.

much more popular rates. In coloring the flowers of this Cattleya are so different from all others of the genus that it attracts much attention whenever and wherever exhibited. The sepals and petals are bright nankeen- yellow, while the entire lip—broad, spreading and frilled on the margin—is intense rich purple, shaded with violet-rose and beautifully streaked with lines of gold, In general appearance the flower reminds one of C. aurea, and, like it, is very fragrant. The plant grows best in baskets suspended near the glass in an inter- mediate temperature ; blooms in autumn. $5 upwards.

C. labiata autumnalis. Although not entirely new, this grand Cattleya will be received with all the eclat due a brilliant novelty, since it has only recently been rediscovered. It was first found by a collector in South America, years ago, but the man died without inform- ing anyone as to the locality in which it grew, and it be- came very scarce. Other collectors have long sought for it in vain at great expense and risk of life, but did not succeed in finding it until a short time ago. In habit of growth, character and color of flowers it re- sembles C. labiala Warneri perhaps more than any other variety. The value of this Orchid is greatly in- creased by the fact that its beautiful flowers are borne in autumn when few other Orchids are in bloom. It grows thriftily, requiring about the same treatment as C. Triane and other familiar varieties. §5 and upward.

CYPRIPEDIUM insigne Montana. A new, distinct and valuable variety of this well-known species, The dorsal sepal is much larger than in the type, pure white on the apical half, and beautifully spotted with rich purple, the spots being much larger and darker than in C. insigne Chantinit. The greenish petals are veined with amber, and the pouch is reddish brown. $7.50 and upward.

DENDROBIUM Phalzenopsis. introduced of late can in any way surpass this beautiful] Dendrobe. Its habit of free and abundant flowering and its graceful sprays of very showy yet delicate flow- ers make it of extra value, both for cut blooms and ex- hibition purposes. $5 and upward,

New Hybrid Streptocarpus.

These new hybrids are remarkable for their abundance of bloom and the continuous succession in which the flowers are produced for about four months in the early autumn, and also for the long time the individual flowers last in perfection. The plant is a greenhouse perennial, of dwarf, neat habit, growing about 9 inches high, with rather long, narrow, arched and recurved stemless leaves ; whilst the flowers, which are very graceful in form, are trumpet-shaped, and measure about 134 inches in length. The variation of colors in these new hybrids is very strik- ing, scarcely two plants being exactly the same, and the colors range from pure white, through pale lavender, lav- ender-blwe, lilac-blue, light mauve, purple, violet, bright rose, and red to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate tints ; and in all the flowers the throat and three lower seg- ments are more or less marked or splashed with long blotches or spots of various shades of purple, generally shadéd and relieved with white, which greatly enhances the effect, and affords a pleasing contrast of color.50 ce 1ts.

Symplocos cratzgoides. (Jackson Dawson.)

A remarkable and entirely unique new hardy shrub from Japan, alike attractive for its foliage, flowers and fruit. The leaves are shaped somewhat like those of the plum, and are dark, glossygreen. In June the plant is covered with beautiful white hawthorn-like flowers, car- ried in panicles ; these are succeeded by a plentiful setting of bright, clear blue berries, about the size of holly berries, which remain on the plant until frost comes. The shrub is of rapid and handsome growth, reaching a height of 5 to 6 feet, and its fine blue effect gives it especial value to the ornamental planter. It is attractive and decorative at all stages of growth, either in flower, foliage or fruit. $1 each.

PALMS.

Including all the various types of Palms, Cyclanthaceas and Cycadeas.

.

CLASS of plants especially noted for their majestic and very imposing character, and rightly called the mon- archs of the vegetable kingdom. They are of great decorative value. Their grand appearance, their mag- nificent foliage, and their universally graceful and imposing habit distinguish them from all other plants. No collection is complete without Palms; they are unrivaled for the decoration of greenhouses and con- servatories, parlors and halls, and many establishments have stately structures used especially as Palm

houses. Twenty years ago but few varieties of Palms were to be found in collections, as gardeners then generally supposed them difficult to cultivate, but now we find large numbers of species and varieties of Palms, Cycads, Zamias, etc., in nearly all the prominent gardens. They can be justly recommended for their great usefulness, beauty and easy cultivation ; in all modern decorations of churches, public and private festive halls, as well as for floral exhibitions, handsome specimens of Palms are the main factors, and are indispensable.

Foreseeing the steadily increasing taste and demand for these noble plants, we prepared our houses and stock for

it, and, at great expense, continued cultivating and increasing our now unlimited supply. We have added year by year a number of new, handsome and distinct species and varieties, and our stock is now of such magnitude that it must be seen in order to form the least idea of it. As most of our stock is raised in our own plantations and tropical nurseries in Trinidad, West Indies, and cultivated and perfected in our extensive Palm houses at Rose Hill Nurseries, New Rochelle, N. Y., we are enabled to supply the trade of the country at most reasonable and popular prices.

The culture of most species of Palms is comparatively simple. On an average they give less trouble than the majority of plants, enduring rough usage, smoke, dust and changes of temperature in most heroic fashion. All the species in the following list require for their successful cultivation an average temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees ; but when used as decorative plants for greenhouses, conservatories, winter gardens, or even for outdoor decorations, will endure without harm an occasional drop to 4o degrees in the temperature.

ORCHIDS.

T IS WELL KNOWN that we have one of the most extensive and valuable commercial collections of Orchids in America, to which we are constantly adding, both by our own propagation of the most desirable species, and by large importations from the various quarters of the globe in which are found growing these strange and most beautiful members of the floral kingdom.

Orchid-culture and propagation has always been with us a labor of love as well as a matter of business; wherefore we may be pardoned for our enthusiasm. Indeed, anyone who has ever engaged in the culture of Orchids will agree with us that it is a most fascinating employment, interesting to every sense of man, and filling him with ad- miration and reverence for the great Creator of whose wonders these are but a fragment. There is something about these plants which, while they may attract first only from curiosity aroused by the grotesque form of a particular species, will always hold the nature-lover with triple bands of interest, surprise and admiration.

WHAT IS AN ORCHID?

Among many people, indeed among many flower lovers, there is an inquiry, often unspoken but yet visibly ap- parent, as to what really constitutes an Orchid—wherein do Orchidaceous plants differ from the forms familiar to us? A reference to a botany, a dictionary, or even a horticultural encyclopzdia does not answer this question satisfac- torily, except for trained botanists—and these do not require to know! Briefly, the ORCHIDE# is a very large class or “natural order’’ of plants, endogenous (or mostly without bark), and differing essentially from all other classes in the construction of the plant, and particularly in the strange and varied forms of the flowers. They are found growing in a large part of the habitable globe, although more especially in the warm and torrid regions of the tropics, and their very remarkable flowers take on most wonderful and peculiar shapes, often of exquisite beauty, and are generally of rich fragrance. There are two main divisions: the TERRESTRIAL Orchids, so called because they grow in the ground, and the EPIPHYTAL (sometimes called celestial) Orchids, which maintain themselves in nature by attaching their long adventitious roots to the trunks of trees and rocks, deriving their support from the atmosphere—not from the object upon which they fasten, as is often erroneously supposed. These latter usually have thick, fleshy leaves, which, with their peculiar “‘ pseudo-bulbs”’ (really meaning zmztation bulbs), act as storage reservoirs, by which the plant secures, in the “‘ wet season”? of the tropics, a plentiful supply of moisture to carry it through the hot, rainless “‘dry season’”’ uninjured. The epiphytal Orchids are by far in the majority, and include the most beautiful and curious forms.

Although Orchids are generally classified as hothouse, intermediate and coolhouse plants, it is not at all neces- sary that every class should have a special house. Fine specimens are often seen growing in a palm house, ordinary greenhouse, or regular stove house, and species that love a cool temperature are kept in cold graperies for most of the time. We know a very successful grower of everything that he touches who has only one greenhouse, less than a hundred feet long, wherein he grows not only all kinds of greenhouse, hothouse and hardy outdoor plants, but also all classes of Orchids, all of which seem to do well. This man is the wonderful Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, Professor Sargent’s able assistant. There is no difficulty in enjoying the exquisite flowers of very many species of Orchids in any greenhouse which will produce good rosebuds between October and April. The old idea, obtaining even among successful Orchid-growers, that special greenhouses must be devoted to the culture of these plants, and specially troublesome conditions maintained therein, will be quickly exploded for any one who will visit our nurseries, where the most beautiful Orchids are seen blooming and flourishing among Roses, Palms and other more ordinary plants as luxuriantly as in their native habitat. Nevertheless, for the benefit of those who wish to be very exact in par- ticulars of culture, and for general information, we have given every variety in the list below a designating mark, and here append the outlines of culture for each class :

Coolhouse Orchids, or all those marked c in the general list, require a so-called cool treatment. A winter tem- perature of from 50 to 55 degrees, with plenty of moisture, is best suited to them, and in summer they should be kept as cool as possible; the direct rays of the sun should never reach them. The principal species which constitute this section are Odontoglossums, Masdevallias and Oncidiums, together with a few sorts of Lelia, Cattleya, Maxillaria, Epidendrum and Disa, all of which are very beautiful and most satisfactory flowering Orchids. The principal thing in successfully growing these Orchids is to keep them cool and moist, and to admit plenty of air.

Orchids for an Intermediate Temperature, marked 7 in the following list, can be grown in any ordinary green- house, or where the facilities are limited, in those parts of houses where-cool and hothouse Orchids are grown which may favor their requirements as to a little cooler or warmer temperature.

Hothouse or East Indian Orchids, marked / in this catalogue, include many magnificent species. They are usually grown in a stove-plant house, or in any house having a temperature of from 60 to 70 degrees, and a moist atmosphere.

of East Indian Orchids, many of them uniting every good quality that a plant can possess, even when they are not in bloom. The stems are straight or slightly bent, the leaves, which are of aleathery texture, being attached on opposite sides, and nourished by large fleshy roots, shooting out horizontally from near the base. The flowers, which proceed from the axils of the leaves, extend in pendulous delicate racemes one to two feet in length, and are very fragrant. These plants are of easy culture, and should be grown in pots or baskets with potsherds and moss, and a good supply of water at all times.

The flowers of this plant are produced like those of A. crispum, on long racemes, but differ from them in being suf- fused with a much brighter rose color, while equally sweet-scented ; a free grower and bloomer. $10.

CALANTHE. A very cieainet genus. The several species and garden hybrids are among the freest flow- ering and most satisfactory Orchids. Their very beautiful and also very useful flowers are produced on long spikes from two to three feet in length, and bloom in the most acceptabletime. They are of easy culture; a few varieties are evergreen, but most of them are deciduous. The latter sorts require a decided period of rest, while the evergreen varieties must be kept moist all the year. The majority of them are terres- trial Orchids, and therefore should be potted in loam and leaf-mold, and given a liberal supply of water when growing.

CATTLEYA. The species of this popular genus rank among our finest Orchids ; they are general favorites, and we are glad to find that they are beginning to be extensively cultivated in this country. The pseudo- bulbs are, in many cases, enlongated and thickened, and the dark, massive, evergreen foliage renders the plants peculiarly attractive. The flowers are all large and elegant, and can scarcely be surpassed for their sparkling richness and depth of color, the most fre- quent tints of which are violet, rose, crimson, ma- genta, white, yellow, mauve and purple, with their intermediate shades. The flower-scape, which is en- closed in a sheath, issues from the top of the stem, and a single spike sometimes contains as many as from ten to twenty flowers. The plants are easily grown in baskets or pots, with a compost of fibrous peat and moss, good drainage and a liberal supply of molsture when growing; .they should always be shaded from the direct rays of the sun. (See view of

one of our Cattleya houses, page 32.)

GELIA. A small genus of epiphytes, the base of whose stems eventually thicken into bulbs. From the base of the bulbs are sent up dense racemes of good sized flowers on short, erect scapes. The plants grow best in pots with peat and sphagnum moss and a little charcoal ; very free-growing and free- -fldwering.

yne, many of them very beautiful, the color of the flowers being generally pure white, with rich yellow throats, and often richly marked. The pseudo-bulb- ous and evergreen foliage presents a very interesting appearance, even when not in bloom. The blossoms are generally produced with the young growth, and are excellent for cut-flower purposes, measuring often as much as three inches across. They should be grown in a pot with peat and moss, with a liberal sup- ply of water when growing.

i C. cristata. (Chatsworth variety). One of the most

beautiful of all East Indian Orchids, easily grown in an ordinary plant-house, and indispensable for cut- flower purposes. The drooping, many-flowered racemes are about nine inches long, and the flowers are fragrant, large, elegantly formed and snow- white, with the exception of the rich yellow fringe and blotches on the lip. They are freely produced in winter, and last a long time when cut and placed in water. We offer some very large and extra-fine specimens of this charming Orchid at $5 and upward; smaller plants, $1 to $2. (See illustration in full page group, page 45.)

They are produced from the base of the bulb ona pendulous raceme. The plant should be grown in baskets with peat and moss, and given good drainage. This plant, aside from its interest as a curious botanical specimen, has a dis- tinct and individual beauty for which it is also greatly prized by collectors and enthusiastic orchid growers everywhere. $2.50 to $5.

DENDROBIUMS. The Dendrobes form an extensive and magnificent genus of Orchids, varying greatly in habit of growth and form of flowers. Some are ever- green, while others are deciduous, producing their flow- ers on the ripened, leaflessstems. Many of the species blossom very freely, and as their flowers are large and showy, delicate in color and delightfully fragrant, they are of especial value for cutting. During their grow- ing season, which immediately follows the time of flowering, plenty of moisture, with a temperature of from 75 to 80 degrees, seems to delight Dendrobiums. They should be kept in the hothouse while growth continues, usually during the summer months, and after it is completed may be gradually accustomed to a cooler temperature. Until wanted in bloom they can be kept either in intermediate or cool houses, and need only enough water to keep their tissues from

shriveling. They thrive best in baskets. (See illus-

L. Arnoldianum. One of the very best

phytal Orchids, most of the species being vigorous and compact in growth, with evergreen leaves much like the Cattleyas, to which they are closely allied. Their flowers, which are large and distinct in color and very handsome, are produced on spikes from the top of pseudo-bulbs. They are unsurpassed for cut-flower purposes. Some of them may be grown upon blocks or rafts, though they will all thrive better in baskets or pots, with a compost of fibrous peat and good drainage.

Leelias for all purposes. It blooms freely and abundantly ; the fragrant rosy white and violet flowers somewhat resemble those of L. awtumnalis, but

LYCASTE. The beautiful and very substantial flowers of the Lycastes, and their free-blooming habit, make them very popular and profitable. Several fine varie- ties have appeared during the past few years, chiefly belonging to the Z. Skinnerii type, but differing very much in color. Lycasle Skinnerii is the best among the many known species, as its lasting qualities are unsurpassed, the flowers often remaining perfect for three months. The Lycastes are of easy culture; they should be potted in peat, with good drainage, and never allowed to get dry.

ODONTOGLOSSUM. To this comprehensive genus of Orchids so many magnificent additions have been made during the last few years, that it now contains some of the choicest and most useful Orchids in culti- vation. The demand for these plants is becoming very great, and this is not to be wondered at, for they form a lovely and most satisfactory class. They can be grown in a coolhouse at less expense than the more stately Brazilian and East Indian Orchids. In the form of cut blooms, and otherwise, they yield very much enjoyment to cultivators. The flowers are ex- quisitely beautiful, and last a long time in perfection. They succeed best in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees in winter, and should be kept as cool as possible in summer. Shade and moisture are very essential to

their well being; some grow- ers prefer a north house, but a little sun in winter is very good, helping to ripen the bulbs, and to produce their handsome flowers more free- ly. Most of them can be grown in pots or baskets in rough fibrous peat.and moss, with good drainage and plenty of water.

c O. Alexandrze (crispum). This, the grandest of the cool Orchids, with its many varieties and colors, is a most desirable species. The flowers are borne in great numbers upon long, slender stems, which issue from the base of dark green pseudo-bulbs in a very graceful, curving manner. They are of very peculiar forms and colors, and of a most lasting and satisfac- tory character. Some very rare selected forms and specimens, $5 and upward ; smaller plants, $1 to $3.50.

ONCIDIUM. One of the older and therefore larger classes of Orchids. The species are all evergreen, and many of them are very beautiful, their flowers being richly colored and showy. They make fine plants for exhibitions and decoration, and are profit- able for cut blooms. They are very accommodating plants, as they thrive well either in cool or interme- diate houses. Some varieties succeed well on blocks, but they are generally best grown in pots or baskets.

PHALAZNOPSIS. In popular estimation this is the grandest genus among all the Orchids, and its mag- nificent flowers do indeed outshine all others. The plants are of singular habit and bird-like appearance when looking at them suspended upon rafts, blocks or baskets, with their beautiful leaves, some of which are of rich olive-green, while others are whitish, mottled and marbled, on brown-green ground; all the leaves are of a very fleshy texture. In cultivating a number of different species,some may be had in bloom the year round. The flowers are produced upon long, branching scapes which proceed from the axils of the leaves near the base, there being no pseudo-bulbs to this Orchid. The flowers come in great profusion, more than 300 having been counted on a single plant ; the color of these beautiful and delicate flowers, and their construction, is most wonderful. The plants need constant high temperature, and during their growing season, from March to October, require plenty of moisture. Fibrous peat, charcoal, potsherds and live sphagnum moss are what they delight to

grow in. IPyamapilisi eye cir syne - $3 50 to $5 00 ii. 12 Dayana. This i isa beautiful band

VANDA. A genus of eee tal East Indian Orchids, of very distinct habit, nearly all the species having a very characteristic and noble bearing. The flowers are of peculiar butterfly form, and of great beauty ; very showy and highly and deliciously scented. All but a few species require regular East India house temperature, and do well in pots or baskets filled with potsherds, charcoal and sphagnum moss. During their growing season they should have abundance of water, while in the winter very little will suffice.

Collections of Orchids.

In forming collections of Orchids, whether large or small, it is of the utmost importance to begin aright, if besides being beautiful, we wish them to be practical and useful. Thus, in order to have Orchids in bloom throughout the year, a careful selection of such varieties as will give a succession of bloom is necessary. Su.h assortments may also include a wide range of form and coloring in the flowers. All who are not familiar with the many species, varieties and habits of these plants will find it perfectly safe to intrust the selection to us, as we often make up such collections for customers, always to their entire satisfaction. We need only to know for what purpose the Orchids are desired, and to have some idea of how much money the customer wishes to invest in the collection. Botanical collections of Orchids are formed in quite a different way, by selecting from different genera, species and varieties ; this we undertake also, performing the work in a scientific and satisfactory manner; the purchaser, however, must give us an idea of the number of specimens wanted and the number of dollars to be invested. The preceding extensive list includes all the best and most useful varieties.

Some of the very rare and costly varieties of Orchids which we have in stock are not mentioned in this Catalogue, as we have very few specimens of each of them—in some cases only one. But to all who desire very rare Orchids, and will address us, mentioning this fact, we will give particulars of such plants, sending samples of their flowers when this is requested.

As might be supposed, among our vast collection of Orchids there are new and rare varieties of great beauty and value constantly coming into bloom—some of them for the first time. We keep the more enthusiastic of our patrons well-informed concerning the flowering of these plants, and would suggest to all who are forming collections of Orchids that they send us their names and addresses, so that we may advise them of the blossoming of any new or rare plants.

Orchid Miscellany.

The culture of Orchids presents no special difficulty ; there are no ‘‘secrets’’ which must be found out in order to succeed, but all who wish more explicit directions concerning their culture than can be given here will find them in our ‘‘ Manual of Orchid Culture—a short, practical treatise on this subject.

We would also call especial attention to the unusually fine quality of our Orchid-peat, acknowledged to be the best fibrous peat in this country. We supply it in large and small quantities; also live and dry Sphagnum, Orchid- cribs and Pots—in fact all requisites for the Orchid-house, a detailed list of which will be found in the regular list of Supplies in the last pages of this Catalogue.

This most interesting and really wonder- ful little plant exhibits more than ordinary plant life, for when touched in certain places it will respond promptly by closing its wing-like claws. 50 cts. to $r. (Including Cordyline and Aletris.) These plants are of great and varied beauty of foliage, and are easily grown and cared for, many of them thriving well in ordinary sitting rooms. As decorative plants, they are unexcelled as to elegant habit of growth, attractive variation of color, and indifference to exposure. Unlike many other plants of similar habit, théy are distinct and decorative even when very young. We grow enormous quantities annually, enjoying especial advantages in obtaining propagating material from our own tropical nurseries in Trinidad,

This curious and interesting class of

plants thrives best in a warm, moist atmosphere, and all the forms are usually suspended from the roof in

baskets.

Complete shade and a compost of two parts

peat with one of sphagnum moss, plenty of drainage and an abundant supply of water, will grow them to

perfection.

They should always be thoroughly shad-

ed. Our collection of these highly ornamental plants is unequaled in America, many new and beautiful varieties obtained by hybridizaticn, which are not to be found elsewhere, being included. The large size of their interesting pitchers, the brilliant coloring and variety of form, make them desirable for any collec-

tion of plants.

SuUcCCULENT PLANTS. -

Including Agaves, Aloes, Echeverias, Euphorbias, Mesembryanthemums, Rocheas, Sansevieras, Sedums,

Sempervivums and Cactuses.

UCCULENT plants are useful in many situations, both indoors and in the garden or on the lawn. They are especially avail- able for rockeries, and lend themselves to outdoor bedding in sunny places in a most distinct and effective way. Nearly all

of the Agaves and many of the Aloes, and others of the robust habit, make handsome ornamental plants on lawns, or for decorating en- trances, balconies, etc., affording a most admirable contrast to the tropical foliage plants, while the extreme beauty and regularity of “‘carpet”’ or ‘‘ribbon’’ beds wrought out with Echeverias as the prin- cipal factor is well-known. Many of the Cactuses and Mesembryanthe- mums are noted for their brilliant and beautiful flowers, of great range of color and form, and often richly fragrant; while the strange and wonderful shapes and habits of the Euphorbias, Stapelias and Cras- sulas win for them much admiration.

This class of plants is rapidly returning to public favor, and has the great merit of requiring a minimum of care and attention from the planter. We keep in stock all select ornamen‘al forms of succulent plants, and furnish a descriptive price-list to all who ask for it.

Select Collections of Cactuses.

The order Cactaceze includes many separate genera of succulent plants—Cereus, Echinocactus, Echinocereus, Epi- phyllum, Mammillaria, Phyllocactus, Pilocereus, Rhipsalis, etc. The different types and varieties are wonderfully varied and curious, and the majority are very ornamental. The prices for Cactuses vary from 25 cents to $1, accord- ing to size and variety. We furnish prices, together with a descriptive list, upon application.

SARVAIGATED 18

CACTUS USED FOR CARPET BEDDING.

A Bed of Cactuses, such as 1s nere represented, is most unique and attractive in appearance, and requires but a minimum of attention if planted in a dry and sunny spot. Prices for sufficient plants for such beds will be given on application.

JES We will select twelve distinct varieties, including the best species, for $3, $5 and $10, according to size and

varieties. To those desiring to form collections of greater extent, we will be pleased to supply lists of the best species, with prices. Cactuses for bedding will be supplied, also, at very moderate prices, by the dozen or hundred.

FERNS AND SELAGINELLAS.

Their beautiful foliage seems especially and to supplement the majestic elegance of the Palms

and Cycads, we have the large tree forms. A vast variety there is, too, among them, from the delicate, trans- parent green fronds of the finer Adiantums to the bold and handsome foliage of the Nephrolepis and Pteris;

or from the lovely Selaginellas, carpeting the ground, to the stately and tall Tree Ferns. The appreciation of Ferns has increased vastly of late years, and they are now extensively used for all decorative purposes, and in all elegant floral work. Our extensive and carefully grown stock affords ample opportunity for

buyers to select any forms which may please their fancy or suit their convenience.

New and really valuable species

are constantly being added to our stock. These will be found in New and Rare Plants.

RHODODENDRONS.

The Rhododendrons, both tender and hardy, are magnificent shrubs, unsurpassed for all sorts of indoor and outdoor decoration. Properly planted and cared for,their beauty increases with every year. For outdoor planting we offer only perfectly hardy varieties, knowing that only such will prove satisfactory. The splendid effects that they give when planted in masses may be seen in many public and private pleasure grounds and gardens, for which we have supplied shrubs, in and around Newport and New York. In Greenhouse Rhododendrons, besides the species and varieties named in the short and select list below, we can supply any other good sorts that our customers may desire, at reasonable prices.

ROSES.

N praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular estimation—not even the Orchid, so often counted as its rival. Our position as the largest commercial Orchid growers in America is well known, yet we affirm that one flower is as fair as the other, each having a distinctive beauty all its own. At Rose Hill Nurseries the ‘‘Queen of Flowers’’ receives attention equally with Palms, Orchids and Ferns. We grow immense quantities for cut blooms, and test carefully all the sorts offered, retaining only those that pass the crucial trial of the New York rose-buying public, which quickly rejects anything not up to a high standard in color, form and fragrance. We also have carefully grown plants of the many superb hardy Roses without which no place, however small, is complete.

We are growing, and will probably have ready to offer next spring, some very remarkable new Roses, a prelimi- nary mention of which will be found on page 11.

HYBRID PERPETUAL oR REMONTANT ROSES.

For Rose gardens and general outdoor planting, certainly no other class of Roses is so valuable as this one (Rosa Damascena hybrida), either in beauty of color, fragrance, durability, size of flowers or variety. We wish to call the attention of all who love Roses to the important fact that all our Hybrid Perpetual Roses offered for planting out are either on their own roots—grown from cuttings—or grafted on a Japanese stock (seedlings of Rosa radia villosa)

which belongs exclusively to us.

This is far superior to any other Rose stock, in that it forms masses of fibrous roots instead of stout woody ones and, therefore, never suckers from the root. for all sorts of Roses—Hardy, Everblooming and Forcing Roses.

For this reason it is the only really safe stock Grafted on this stock immediately above the roots,

the plants have a double set of feeding roots, and root-action is the source of strong and rapid growth in any plant. We claim that on one plant of our Japanese stock there are more fibrous or feeding roots than on ten plants of any other

Rose stock—infinitely more than on a great many Roses on their own roots.

We, therefore, highly commend these

Roses to our customers, knowing that they will give entire satisfaction. It must be understood that this class of roses, the Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant class, is entirely hardy, but

they are not constant bloomers, with a few exceptions.

They give one grand mass of bloom in early summer, and then

scattered blooms all through the season, depending more or less upon the variety and its treatment.

TEA AND HYBRID TEA ROSES.

Including the ‘‘ Everblooming’’ Roses and the Noisette Hybrids.

HIS large class contains the favorites which give us flowers every day in the year.

They are not hardy, but can

easily be wintered over with protection ; and even if frozen to the ground, will often send up shoots from the

roots in spring ; these grow fast and are soon ready to flower.

Formerly no really red roses were found in this

class, that color being peculiar to the Hybrid Perpetuals ; but we now have a number of beautiful Everblooming Roses in all shades of rich red. For forcing into bloom in winter the Teas are pre-eminent. The plants we offer are all strong and vigorous, on their own roots, and will give satisfaction either for planting

out or forcing.

American Belle. One of the best new Roses of the year. A pink-colored sport from American Beauty, this Rose has all the parent’s good qualities, differing from it only in color. $2.

Bon Silene. One of the very best varieties for cut flowers ; bright deep rose, delicately tinted with deep red; a free grower and bloomer, and very sweet; not very full when open, but beautiful in bud.

Bridesmaid. Another new Rose that has won golden opinions everywhere. It is a sport of Catherine Mermet, with the same finely shaped, large, solid buds on long, stiff stems, but its clear delicate pink color is not dulled by cloudy weather.

Captain Christy. Light salmon flesh color, very dis- tinct; large and fine form; a grand rose, free in bloom.

Catherine Mermet. Bright flesh color, changing to silvery pink, with long, large buds; flowers very large, full, and of beautiful form. Decidedly one of the finest Tea Roses; it is grown and forced very extensively for its splendid buds.

Cornelia Cook. Large, exquisitely formed white flow- ers ; a splendid Rose when in perfection.

Duchess of Albany. A sport from La France; deeper in color, large in size and more expanded in form than the parent, but like it in habit, vigor of growth and free- dom of bloom.

Etoile de Lyon. Rich saffron yellow; large and full; blooms profusely, and is attractive and valuable. Gloire de Dijon. Buff, with orange center ; fine foliage, and is of vigorous and rather climbing habit; nearly

hardy, and one of the finest outdoor Roses.

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A new pure white Hybrid Tea, with creamy central touches. It is a note- worthy Rose in every respect; very large and full, almost perfect in form, and richly, delightfully fragrant.

La France. One of the most beautiful constant-bloom- ing Hybrid Teas. The flowers and buds are of large size and especially elegant form; a lovely shade of peach blossem, changing to rose; deliciously fragrant, with a scent all its own. It begins to bloom soon after planting out, and continues all summer, constantly of- fering its magnificent flowers. Also, an excellent variety for greenhouse culture.

OUTDOOR AQUATIC TANKS.

It should be noted that all those Marsh Plants or Aquatics which are hardy can be left out in the basins or tanks, covered with leaves and litter, which preserves the plants as well as the tank or basin, in which no water should be left during winter. All those which are not hardy can be kept over winter in small tubs, in the greenhouse under the stages, or in some similar place where not much room is wasted with them, and they can be kept at a tempera- ture above freezing. The tank for Aquatics can be sunk in the lawn in a sunny position, or on the south side of a building or fence. Provide means for emptying the tank from the bottom, and a waste-pipe near the top for over-flow- so that fresh water can be run in occasionally to prevent stagnation. Such a tank needs to be well protected from severefrost in winter. Aquatics may also be grown in the basins of fountains, but they will not flourish if the spray is allowed to fall upon the leaves. Water enough to keep that in the basin fresh may be allowed to run in, but no more, as this would lower the temperature too much.

The best soil for growing all kinds of aquatic plants is rich loam, mixed with decayed stable or cow manure, in equal quantities, with the addition of about one pound of bone meal to a wheelbarrow load of the compost. Leaf- mold or fine black peat can no doubt always be used to advantage. Rich mud from the bed of a pond or sluggish stream will answer in place of the loam, but is not essential. The compost should be well mixed, placed in the tank, and covered with about an inch of good, clean sand to keep the manure from rising ; then let in the water several days before putting in the plants. Nelumbiums must be grown in heavy loam or clay, well enriched. They will not flourish in sand or sandy peat.

&a- We furnish collections of Hardy Aquatics in twelve and twenty-five varieties at from $5 to $9 per dozen.

SIEBRECHT & WADLEY’s CATALOGUE OF

Harpy CLIMBING VINEs.

HE graceful drapery so effective in the decoration of lawns, gardens, porches and verandas, giving to them a cozy and home-like, as well as an elegant air, is furnished chiefly by hardy climbing vines. Tender or annual climbers, however great their beauty, because they lack permanency, will never be so popular for this purpose.

The Clematises, of which we have a large and fine collection, Honeysuckles, Wistarias and Ampelopsis, are especially

beautiful and well-prized for such work.

ACTINIDIA polygama. Pretty leaves and fragrant white flowers ; fine for trellises or walls. 50 cents.

When fairly established, the vine grows rapidly, and its rootlets and tendrils fasten it firmly to any surface, clinging even to stone or brick

ARISTOLOCHIA. The hardy Aristolochias are phe- nomenal in rapidity of growth; their large, handsome leaves quickly cover any plan of climbing that is marked out forthem. For new forms of Aristolochias, see New and Rare Plants, page 13.

O CLASS of plants can give more genuine pleasure to their owner than those which spring from hardy bulbous or tuberous roots, a delightful stimulus to the work of planting and caring for them being the fact that they are sure to flower, not only the first season but for years afterward, the number of flowers increasing as the

clumps grow in size. the year—Crocus, Snowdrop, and a train of magnificent

So large, varied and adaptable is this class of plants that their flowers brighten every season of

Dutch Bulbs usher in the early spring, other genera and

species equally as handsome flower through summer and autumn, and potted Dutch bulbs bloom readily in winter. Immensely popular as these bulbs and tubers are, many more of them would be planted if planting and flowering time

LILIUM. The beautiful Lily Family. Lilies are uni- versal favorites, and in every garden may be found a place where some of the species will grow. Even the rarer sorts are not difficult to grow, and have lately been placed within reach of all. In selecting a spot for planting Lilies, be careful that it is well drained, so that water standing about the bulbs may not cause them to decay. Any fertilizers used in enriching the soil must be thoroughly decomposed, and sand and leaf-mold or peat mixed with it will be beneficial if the soil is loamy. The majority of species are planted about six inches deep ; California varieties not less than ten. In plant- ing, leave room for the clumps to grow large, remem- bering that, once wel] planted, the bulbs should not be disturbed for years. A mulch of hay or leaves spread over the soil about themin autumn forms a good winter protection. We have a fine stock of both rare and common varieties.

‘TROPICAL AND SEMI- 1 ROPICAL FRuITS.

Suitable for Greenhouse Culture in the North, or for the Open-air in the South.

Fruits from the tropics are very interesting, and often most novel and delicious in taste.

Those here named may

be grown and made to bear in the greenhouse, or insome of our southern states and parts of California—in fact, in

any locality where the winter temperature does not fall below 45 degrees.

They should all have good culture in rich

soil, and during their growing season be supplied with plenty of moisture; after their growth is made, less moisture

will cause them to ripen their wood, and often to bloom and set fruit. Those having private conservatories will find these fruits an endless source of pleasure and enjoyment if care_

SIEBRECHT & WADLEY’S PATENT GREENHOUSE SHADING.

The most satisfactory shading ever used; never gets out of order; lasts as long as a good greenhouse

How 1f 1s MADE AND OPERATED.—The shading is made of slats, which are of the best clear wood; it is arranged in sections, either 6% or 8 feet wide, but can be made of any width and length to suit size of roof. These slats are fastened together very substantially with galvanized wire bands and rings. The chain-like fastenings are from 16 to 18 inches apart, each section of shading having a roller attached to the lower end, the other end being fastened to the ridge of the house or highest point to be shaded, and where, by means of a pulley and line, it is easily rolled up and down at whatever distance desired. It can be operated inside or outside of the house. It will protect your glass from hail storms, and your plants from the intense heat in summer, and from severe cold*in winter ; does not get out of order; does not destroy paint, putty or glass, as is the case with the old- fashioned method of white-wash or paint. It gives your house an even and cooling shade, and a neat appearance. It can rolled up and down at will, which is a great advantage, especially when the short, dark days come and only a

little shading isneeded. Estimates givenon application.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.

With a quarter century’s experience, we offer our services for all Landscape and Plant- ing Work, of whatever magnitude. We will send competent and expert Landscape Archi- tects, upon application, to inspect either new or old places, with a view to planting or remodeling. This work will be undertaken by contract or otherwise, and estimates will be cheerfully furnished for any desired work, upon visit or receipt of specifications.

It 1s our custom to fully guarantee our planting for one year, and we replace tree of

charge any trees or plants which may fail to grow within that time, unless they have been damaged by carelessness in handling after having been turned over to the owners in good condition. This guarantee gives the customer the fullest legitmate protection, and insures the planting of strong and healthy stock.

Many country residence places may be wonderfully improved at a very moderate expense by the intelligent efforts of our Landscape experts; and in new planting, our wide experience and great resources serve to save much expense and bother to our patrons, as we can include the planning, stock and planting under one contract and one responsibility.

Competent gardeners are nearly always at our command for the care of such places, and we can usually supply or recommend men suitable for any position.

OR nearly a quarter-century we have carried on a first-class floral establishment, during which time we have furnished floral decorations for many notable events, supplying our patrons (who are, for the greater part, of the old New York families, and customers of long standing) with the choicest and best, which through years of experience and constant study of the art of horticulture we have been successful in producing. As our

connection with the Rose Hill Nurseries gives us unusual facilities for such floral productions, our work in this line cannot be surpassed in the metropolis. Our stock of all the choicest varieties of plants for the production of cut flowers, together with our immense collection of rare plants, Palms, Cycads, Tree Ferns and Orchids, enables us to carry out orders of any magnitude with the greatest ease and with more satisfaction to our friends than can be given by those lacking the facilities. Orders by mail or wire receive prompt consideration.

FLOWERS DELIVERED BY TELEGRAPH TO ANY PART OF THE WORLD.

Being members of the Florists’ International Telegraph Delivery Association, we are constantly delivering flowers onorder anywhere. Our customer in New York or elsewhere can have any floral work, through us, delivered to his order and with his card in not only in every city of importance in the United States, but as well in London, Paris, Ber- lin or Vienna, at but a few hours’ notice. This novel use of electrical cipher transmission is proving very satisfac- tory, and we invite the commands of our friends.

OUR PLANT-FURNISHING DEPARTMENT.

Some few years ago we introduced the Parisian plan of furnishing palms and decorative plants for conservatories, halls, drawing and dining rooms, etc., by the week, month or season, and it has worked with unparalleled success. Of course, with our great stock of palms and decorative plants, which is of such magnitude that it must be seen in order to be appreciated, we are enabled to supply any demand, and at the most reasonable prices.

We are always prepared to furnish plans, estimates and specifications for any floral work.

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

Thirty years of experience has given us much practical knowledge as to how greenhouses are best constructed, and we. apply this knowledge to the building of structures both ornamental and highly practical, with heating and venti- lating apparatus complete, to better advantage and at less cost than any other firm in the country. Plans and specifi- cations, together with estimates, are furnished on application.
