GAIN we have the pleasure of presenting to our valued patrons and newly-made friends a new edition of our Annual Spring Catalogue, and with it our best wishes for the new year. We gratefully ac- knowledge the receipt of the kind words of compliment and expressions of satisfaction from so many of our customers, and sincerely thank all those who have spoken a word of recommendation to their neighbors and friends. It is a pleasure to know our efforts to please have been so largely
appreciated. In filling the orders of so many thousands of customers, some mistakes will undoubtedly occur, but we assure you they are unintentional, and we shall esteem it a favor to be at once notified and allowed to make all due correction. Last Spring our friends so overwhelmed us with orders that for a time, in spite of our best effort, we fell several days behind in filling them, but with increased packing facilities we hope, this season, to get out all orders promptly.
Thousands of new readers will see our Catalogue this year for the first time, and we ask of them a care-
ful examination, feeling sure that it offers many things that will prove a pleasure, and hope that our reason- able prices and assurance of careful attention to all orders, large or small, will bring us at least a trial order.

IT WILL BE SEEN that where persons are not well acquainted with the different varieties, so as to enable them to make judicious selections, these sets offer great advantage for cheapness, and parties will get as good selections as they would make themselves, our aim being, as far as possible, to satisfy every customer who favors us with an order. The choice of these varieties must be left entirely to us, as we positively cannot afford, at the collection price, to permit customers to name the plants. But all who prefer their own selection of varieties can make them at the prices of the single plants, which in all cases accompany the descriptions. These collections are subject to the following conditions: That. persons ordering are only to name the number of letters, designating the collection or collections wanted, as it takes too much valuable time to read long letters giving detailed lists of plants in each collection desired. Simply the number or letters of collection is all sufficient. These collections cannot be divided. , iP at

| LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD ROSES
i cau furnish most varieties catalogued in large plants, two years old, except some of the newer and # scarcer sorts, of which we will furnish nice, young, well rooted plants. These large roses are especially suitable for planting for immediate effect, and are well worth the additional price asked. The price of these large two-year-old Roses will be 20 cents each for all varieties priced at 10 cents; for aH other Roses add double the price. Thus: the small Roses we catalogue at 10 cents will be 20 cents in the larger size; the small ones at 15 cents will be 30 cents in the larger size, and soon. We wish to call special attention to our Large Roses. They are all strong, healthy plants, not forced, but grown in a natural cool temperature, and will be sure to give satisfaction. Order some large roses and be agreeably surprised. Some of them will bein bud when you get them and will start to bloom at once. You cannot buy such roses anywhere else for near the money. When selection is left to us we will send, by express, one doxen fine, strong Ro.es, no two alike, but comprising all colors, and every one labeled, for only $2.00; or one dozen of extra strong Roses for $3.00. Our Roses are all oa their own roots, with the exception of two or three varieties of the Hybrid Perpetual class, which will not de well that way. We also have a medium size of two-year-old plants, of which we will send twelve of our selection for $1.00, by express, purchaser paying express charges, or eight by mail postage paid.
WHAT ROSES TO PLANT.
_ This depends entirely upon the climate and the taste of the grower. Ifa constant succession of flowers through the season is desired, plant the Teas. Bourbons, Chinas or Noisettes. These flower as they grow, and if kept constantly growing will always be in bloom. They are perfectly hardy in the South and in the Gulf States and bloom every month of the year. They are, however, not perfectly hardy north of the Ohie river, and require some protection in winter. If Roses are desired that will stand our winters in the North, without protection, Hybrid Perpetuals, Mosses and Climbers should be selected. They will stand any degree of frost, and in June are literally covered with large, richly colored flowers. They occasionally produee some blooms during the remainder of the summer, and often flower quite freely in the autumn, but cannot be termed continuous bloomers. Every extensive Rose garden will, of course, contain some of these classes. In the South Hybrid Perpetuals will be grown, that their scarlet and crimson flowers may serve as & con- trast to more fully display the delicate shades and tints of the Teas; and at the North we cannot forego the pleasure of having a constant succession of beautiful Roses, merely because the plants which produce them are not perfectly hardy. They are so cheap that even if the plants were lost each winter, the loss would be ne greater than that on ordinary bedding plants, while they can be protected with little trouble, as we will show.
If you are notacquainted with the different varieties of Roses, allow us to make the selection for yeu.

A TRIAL ORDER.
To those who have never purchased plauts before, or are buying elsewhere, we would suggest that “*yariety is the spice of life,’ and they may find it profitable, considering our extremely low prices, to send
“5 & Small trial order. SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED.
We warrant all plants we send out by mail or express to reach their destination in good, healthy eon- dition, making it safe to order of us. We give each order as much attention as if the purchaser were here im person. Occasionally a package will be lost in the mail, or the plants injured; this seldom occurs, bat when it does happen, write to us immediately, sending a duplicate order, and they will be promptly replaced.
EVERYTHING PLAINLY LABELED.
We use a small parchment label on all the plants, being an advantage over the wooden label wired on, which frequently cuts and bruises the plant so that it does not survive.
BY EXPRESS.
Large bills should be ordered sent, by express whenever practicable, as we can, of course, send betier
plants in this way than by mail. The purchaser must pay the transportation, but we always add some extra plants to express orders to help pay express charges.
NEW LOW EXPRESS RATES.
We call attention to the new low express rates, which isa reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rate, at which plants have been expressed heretofore, and also that packages of less than 100 pounds are billed at 100 lb. rates, and you will not be charged any more at your end than if we were to prepay at this end of the line.

Please drop us a card on the arrival of goods. We are glad to know when you are pleased and we wish to know of any dissatisfaction, that we may make it right.
If, on receiving this Catalogue, you conclude you do not care about ordering plants, we will be greatly obligad if you osill hand it to some of your flower-loving friends, or get up a club and get your plants free.

TRA ROSES...
| GENERAL COLLECTION || _
TEA ROSES are the sweetest of all Roses. The flowers, many of them, are large and very delicate in their shades of color such as white, straw, salmon and various tints of rose combined with these. They are also the most free blooming of all, com- mencing to bloom as soon as planted, and continuing until stopped by freezing weather. For bouquets and cut flowers, they excel all other flowers. Their flowers improve in quality asthe season advances, and reach perfection in the Autumn. They have exquisitely formed buds, and are, therefore, prized as invaluable.

HYBRID TEA ROSES.
A FRANCE gives us an idea of the beautiful colors and exquisite fragrance which are united in this new section of Roses,
which is obtained by crossing the Tea’ Roses with the Hybrid Perpetuals, which resulted in aclass of almost entire hardi-
ness, combined with the free-blooming quality and exquisite fragrance of the Tea Rose.
A slight covering in Winter will
be beneficial to them, althou_h some of the varieties stand perfectly well without.

MARDY ROSES
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES being hardy are of easy culture, not requiring, but are benefitted by protection of their roots with a mulching of leaves or evergreen boughs during the Winter. They are not as constant bloomers as the tender ever-blooming Roses, but they flower freely in June and at short intervals during the SummerandFall. They
should not be ordered for house culture, as they are not suitable for that purpose, but when you want strong bushes in the
yard to stand out all Winter, or to form a Rose hedge, these are the kind to use.

fs For constancy of bloom the Geranium is unequaled. Small plants, put out in May and June, will completely fill a bed three weeks after planting, and will be a mass of flowers, continuing to get better until blackened by the frosty nights of autumn. While other plants are wilting under the scorching rays of our summer sun, the Geranium seems to glory in the hottest weather. It also makes a good winter blooming plant if not kept too warm, but for this purpose should be grown in pots all summer, and the buds picked off as they appear, or plants grown from cuttings in September.
NOVELTIES OF LAST SEASON'S INTRODUCTION
The Following New Classes of Geraniums Contain Some of the Most Striking and Novel Shades.

The Following Five Carnations Were Introduced for the First Time Last Season and are Acknowledged to be the Best Produced so far by All Who Saw Them.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson.
This is the sensational ‘‘Lawson Pink,” for the original stock of which thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) was claimed to have been paid. It has been fully described in many news. papers throughout the country. It is, without doubt, the largest dark-pink Carnation at the present time.
America.
Awarded a certificate by the American Carnation Society: _Color, pure scarlet of fine size, nicely filled, but not crowded with petals, has a very strong calyx, very early coming into bloom, and its strong points are its freedom and easy culture-
The Marquis.
One of the freest flowering, and, in our estimation, one of the best yetintroduced. In color.a true pink, with no
trace of magenta or purple; an exquisite shade, soft, yet
rich, that is equally beautiful by artificial or daylight; of ex-
ceptional fine form, full, double, well rounded, with fringed
petals; in size 344 to 4 inches in diameter, and borne on eis ; stout stems.
Olympia. Center well built up. Its color is a beautiful clear, glossy white, with delicate pencilings of clear scarlet running
through the petals, making it the most beautiful variegated variety ever introduced. Its fragrance is delicately sweet.
Ethel Crocker.
Unquestionably one of the best all round ptnk Carnations ever offered. The flowers are large, of bright, glowing pink color, with excellent calyx and stem; a strong, vigorous grower and very free-blooming qualities. This will become a general favorite every where.

A WELL GROWN SPECIMEN PLANT OF GEO. W. CHILDS.
EW, iF ANY, other class of plants has been so much improved of late years as the Chrysanthemum. So much has been done in this direction that today the Chrysanthemum rivals the Rose in popularity, well growr flowers bringing nearly double the price of good Roses in the cut-fower market. The Chrysanthemum thrives well in any good, rich garden soil; its only req 1irements are plenty of waterand surlight. In planting, give each plant a space of at least two feet
square, as, if well grown, they will touch each other by October Ist, at this distance apart. As they flower only on termina! branches, the tops of the young plants should be pinched out when five or six inches high, and keep pinch ng out the new shoots as they get four to six incheslong. This should not be done Jater than August Ist; after this they should be allowed to grow undisturbed. If wanted for indoor blooming, they should be lifted about September 1st and potted. Give a thorough watering and set in a shady place for afew days.. Afterwards expose them to the full light, hut do not keep them warmer than forty-five to fifty degrees. If large size flowers are wanted, allow «nly one flower to each branch, pinching out all but terminal buds as fast as they appear. In coid climate. Winter in the cellar. é { : :
Black A phis—Nothing destroys this troublesome insect so easily as clean, cold water dashed on forcibly with a syringe
or else a sprinkling with tobacco water will easily kill them. Ri >. :
We have spared no expense in procuring the best of the new varieties, and have carefully worked out any of inferior
quality, so that our customers may rely on any sori they may select as being desirable in every respect.

Dear Sir:—I received my plants a few days ago. Iwas perfectly surprised and delighted with them. The plants were s» much larger than I -xpected, and tney were in such fine condition. It seems as if they had never quit growing. Some of them have put out new leaves since I received them, and the Geraniums were even blooming.
Many thanks for the extra plants you added to my order. I shall certainly reeommend you to all my friends and acquaintances who would appreci- ate good bargains Another thing I was surprised in was the express charges were so small for such a large box of plants. After my plants having to come so far, they had to then lay in th+ express office three days. I live twenty miles from the express office. Pardon me for writing such along letter. As ever your friend and customer,
Mrs. Lizzie Porter.

_ FLOWERING VARIETIES..
| ee)
BEGONIAS
Price, 10 cents each, except where noted.
We know of no class of plants better adapted to amateur eultivation than these. Most of the varieties are free-grow- ing, and in a very short time make fine specimen plants. The beauty of their foliage, combined with their graceful flow- ers and free-blooming qualities, tend to make them one of the most desirable class of plants grown. They are largely used in the construction of bouquets, ete., by florists.
CULTURE NotTE—Begonias will grow in almost any good soil, but enjoy a well enriched, rather sandy mixture, and in Summer should be kept in ashady situation; in such a || place they may be planted in the open ground, where the || Summer flowering kinds will produce their graceful-shaped || fiowers freely all season, and those intended for Winter flow- ering should be lifted and potted by the first of September, || when they will be in good condition for Winter decoration in the house, for which they are especially well adapted.
Alba Picta—A distinct variety, shrubby in habit and of compact growth, having long, slender, pointed leaves, glossy green, thickly spotted silvery-white,; the spots graduating in size from the center toward the margin. Foliage small and elegant.
Alba Picta Rosea—This is aseedling of Alba Picta erossed with Rubra. Foliage rich green, spotted with white, flowers on long pendant stem similar to Rubra. Color, deli- eate rose, very free flowering, very fine.

Price, 10 to 25 cents, according to size.

It is of strong and rapid growth and the brilliant rosy-crimson blossoms are produced from early im March until midsimmer. Altogether it is a most desirable subject for the conservatory or window garden, Price, 20c each.

Ageratum, Stella Gurney.
This variety originated with Mr. James Gurney, superin- -tendent of Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, Missouri, where it has been used extensively for bedding the past Summer, and is undoubtedly the finest Ageratum yet introduced, being of dwarf, compact even habit; color a fine deep blue and liter-
ally asheet of bloom the entire season; finely adapted for |
Winter blooming in the window garden or conservatory. Price, 10c each; 75c per dozen.

Princess Pauline—A novel variety of dwarf, compact habit. Introduced last year, rarely exceeding 8 inches in height. Its peculiarity consists of both blue and white being combined in the same flower, the body of the flower being white while the stamens, forming an outer ring, are sky-blue,
iving the flower a pretty variegated appearance. (See cut.) rice, 10c; 75c per dozen.
Araucaria FExcelsa. (Norfolk Island Pine.)
Various names have been sug- gested for this. grand plant to properly convey to the mind the appearance of it. Some have call- ed it the ‘‘Christ- mas Tree Palm,’’ from its resem- blance to a Christmas Tree. Others have eall- ed it the “Star Palm,” because the leaves are ar- ranged to form a perfect star, but no descrip- tive name can give an adequate idea of its beau- 4 ty. It has deep § green, feathery foliage,arranged in whorls, rising one above the ether at regular distances. Its symmetry of form, grace and beauty of foli- age are unequal- ed in the vegetable kingdom. Itis easily grownin the house and is highly ornamental. It requires the same culture as the Palm.

Whether grownas single specimens, or in masses of ribbon lines, they are equally attractive. @ They are of the easiest culture and well adapted to our climate, flourish- : Ing in the hottest sun as well as dis- playing their beautiful colors in the
y corner, where hardly any other plant would do. Mixed in with other bedding plants they brighten up a bed, while when planted in solid beds with judicious arrangement of col- &) ors and varieties, the most gorgeous © | effect can be produced. For the lat- ter purpose, varieties like Verchaf- felti, Negro and Golden Bedder are best fitted, bordered with Alternan- thera or Santolina, or Mme. Salleroi Geranium. Our collection contains the most brilliantly colored varieties in existence, so brilliant that it be- comes difficult to give an exact de- scription of them.

Among all the Summer-blooming bulbs the Gladiolus is par excellence. Itis so easily grown any soil will suit it. The conditions must indeed be hard under which it will not thrive, and it certainly deserved a place in every garden, having the advantage of needing little room for its roots or growth and being of easiest possible culture. The immense spikes of gorgeous bloom comprise in color all shades from deepest scarlet to purple and yellow. They make grand beds, and are especially useful to fill in among the bedding plants where occasional vacant places appear, as the bulbs can be planted any time during Spring and early Summer. By successive planting flow- ers may be had the entire season. The bulbs are very easily preserved from year to year. We offer a splendid mixture of varieties, comprising nearly every imaginable shade and color. This collection received a certificate of special merit when exhibited at the Florists’ Conventicn at Atlantic, City. We take great pride in offering these Gladioli, as we believe they will be a constant delight to our patrons. Scarcely two will be alike, and one hundred taken without selection will give as many fine blooms as can be gathered promiscuously from as many named sorts.
Price, 5c each; 6 for 25c; 35c per dozen; 35 for $1.00, or will send 100 for $2.00 if taken by express, all:nice, large bulbs, sure to bioom.

MONTBRETIAS.
The Montbretias are one of the brightest and best of Summer-flowering bulbs, and it has been a matter of wonder to us why they are not more generally used. We feel sure that if once tried they would become firm favorites. The bulbs should be planted from April to Junein clumps or groups of three to a dozen or more. They are per- fectly hardy, and once planted can be left to care for themselves. In growth they resemble the Gladioli, and produce spikes of the most brilliant flowers in the various shades of orange, yellow, red, ete. The varieties offered below are the ‘‘cream”’ of the largest collection in Europe, and are offered at a price which should warrant extensive plantings.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PLANTS WHEN RECEIVED
When we send plants to distant points by express, they are, with few exceptions, taken from the pots, to save expressage. Upon receipt they should be carefully unpacked, leaving as much of the soil attached to the roots as possible. If the plants should be thoroughly rooted as to make one compact matter of roots, the ball may be loosened and a portion, say one-fourth of the sbroUs roots removed. This is essential, whether for garden or pot culture, and will insure more certain and vi orovs growt . ae = == Deed nnn ee | a ae = If intended for pot culture they should be re-potted in pots one size larger than they have been grown in; should be- shaded and watered sparingly for eight or ten days, until they begin to make new roots, when they may be watered more freely and exposed to full sunlight. If for garden culture, and danger of frosts have passed, they may be planted at once. The beds should be loosened, and the plants placed a little deeper than they have been in pots. After pressing the soil gently around the ball, give a thorough watering, and, and if the weather is bright, shading may be necessary. .
Plants sent by mail will require more careful attention, as a large portion of the soil has been removed in packing, and after a number of days of close confinement, are more sensitive to bright sunlight, and should not, therefore, be exposed to the direct rays of thesun. Soaking them in milk-warm water half an hour, with the moss and paper around them upon receiving them, is a very good way, as it helvs to revive their vitality ; after that, treat as recommended above.
Wherever it is practicable, we advise to have plants sent by express, as the they hardly feel the change and grow right along wathone any stopping, as our customers repeatedly write us. We always put in some extra plants to make up for ex- press charges.
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OF PLANTS FOR FLOWER GARDENS.
200 Plants for $10.00---About One-Haif Regular Rates.
Encouraged by the universal satisfaction my ‘‘Special Collections” of plants has given for the past years, and to meet the yaried wants of my customers who are not sufficiently arquepited with the various kinds of plants to make a judicious selec- tion for themselves, I offer three ‘“‘Special Collections,”’ different in style and purpose. As I offer a great variety of plants in these collections at a very large reduction from c:talogue rates, I feel confident that I will be able to give entire satisfaction to all who favor me with their orders. The selection«f varieties must invariably be left to me, but a good assortment will always. be sent. For $5.00 I will send one-half of either collection.
These collections are composed of nice, strong plants all labeled, and will be carefully packed and delivered at express office here. Smaller plants of these collections will be sent by mail, postpaid, at same price.

CLUB ORDERS.
Combine Your Orders.—Although my prices are exceedingly low, considering the quality of the plants furnished, yet I offer the following additional inducements to all who will exert themselves in my behalf by soliciting their neighbors to unite with them in ordering plants of me, and thus increase the amount required.
A Handsome Reward.—Many of our custom- ers get a splendid collection of Roses and other plants
free by getting up clubs among their friends and | || to pay postage. It is quite as much trouble to handle
neighbors (see table of club rates below), but at all events I should be glad to have you mention my name to your friends and neighbors, and thus intro- duce my beautiful plants to their attention.

E have brought our system of packing orders in boxes to such perfection that it matters little of what condition the weather is, the contents are very rarely injured in transit. During Winter each box is carefully lined with paper and the plants wrapped up in moss; they scarcely feel the change, but
grow right along as though they never left the greenhouses, and soon begin to bloom in their new home. If plants perish in transit the loss is ours. If promptly notified of the fact by return mail, they will be duplicated at once, as we guarantee plants to reach their destination in a live, growing con- dition, and we know, if they receive proper care, they will grow nicely; but when plants die from careless treatment and neglect, we cannot or should not be expected to replace them, nor can we do so unless we are notified within three days after receiving same.
