GREENHOUSE PLANTS ORQHIDS
To Our Customers
take pleasure in presenting here a guide to our collections of Ever- green and Deciduous Trees and Shrubs, Orchids, Stove and Green- house Plants, and Hardy Herbaceous Perennials.
Our stocks in all of the various classes are extensive; our list of exotic plants comprises not only all of the leading varieties, but also hundreds of hybrids and horticultural curiosities.
QUALITY
It is our constant aim to produce specimens as nearly perfect as they can be grown, to send out only first-class stock, and to pack this stock so it will reach our customers in perfect condition.
In our Nursery great care is taken to secure the symmetrical and vigorous growth of all plants. Trees and Shrubs are grown in rows widely separated, so all may have room for development. They are cul- tivated constantly, transplanted frequently, and pruned, sheared and trained by expert horticulturists so they will meet perfectly the needs of those who desire Nursery products of unusual quality. This stock may be transplanted without checking its growth, and it will produce pleasing landscape effects in a re- markably short time.
With the increasing interest in Orchids we have greatly enlarged our range of glasshouses, and now devote more than 60,000 square feet to these plants alone. As with all our other products, we aim to grow Orchids as well as possible, and we have no doubt that an inspection of our establishment will con- vince the most exacting connoisseur of this fact.
Our list of Stove and Greenhouse Plants remains the most extensive in America. We offer only well- grown plants, which will please the most exacting. Because our collection is so extensive, we are in a posi- tion to fill conservatories with the choicest kinds, meeting every requirement of preference or purse. Many of these plants we can furnish in large sizes, to give an immediate effect. We devote 500,000 square feet of greenhouse-range to the propagation and culture of plants for the conservatory or glasshouse.
Flowering Shrubs and Roots for Forcing are one of our specialties, as we ourselves force quantities of these for the New York market. We are able, as always, to supply the most attractive of the hardy Hybrid Rhododendrons and other Broad-leaved Evergreens, Bay Trees, Roses and Vines, and to furnish the most beautiful of the flowering Herbaceous Perennial Plants.

Evergreens in our upper Nursery
Evergreen Trees
Evergreens are a necessity in every scheme of landscape gardening, large or small. They create effects not possible with any other trees or shrubbery, and add a note of unique beauty to the landscape, both in summer and winter. In summer to serve as a contrast to shrubbery and flowers by the cool, dark green of their foliage, and in winter to relieve the otherwise barrenness of the ground. They are most efficient also as hedges, screens and windbreaks.

Maple Trees growing in our Nurseries. Note the trim, erect growth
Deciduous Ornamental Trees
The people who live in the cities and towns are demanding more and more that the streets be planted with shade trees which are both practical and sightly to the eye. To this end we try to grow trees which answer that demand. There are any number of trees to be had at a very low figure, but when compared with a well-grown Nursery product, the difference in quality will be apparent to the most uncritical layman. We also grow specimens for private estates, where the main object is planting for immediate effect, and the results obtained by using these are justified by having large and well-grown trees in a year’s time.
ACER. Maple. This family is more widely planted than any other, as it adapts itself to nearly all kinds and conditions of soil, dasycarpum. Silver Maple. Leaves lobed, sil- very underneath, bright green above. Rapid grower of irregulai, pyramidal habit, good for street and park work. Each io

Berberis Thunbergii
Flowering and Evergreen Shrubs
The variety of shrubs is very great and they can be used in nearly any situation with a little judicious selection. Planted alone they develop into specimens of great merit on account of their hardiness and never growing to any great height.
Many of them have two seasons of beauty — one in the spring when in flower, and the other in the fall when they are laden with berries.
Andromeda floribunda. Flowers very early.
Useful in Rhododendron groups. Each
12 to 15 in $0 75
15 to 18 in $1 to 1 25
Japonica. Lily-of-the-V alley Shrub. Bell-like flowers, somewhat similar to the Lily-of-the- Valley, hence the name. Each

Choice Roses
Hybrid Perpetual Roses in their June glory
ROSES
Roses, above all other plants, require more care in preparing the soil than the majority of outdoor plants. A big mistake is often made in not paying enough attention to the preparation of the Rose-beds. If planted in poor, starved soil the result will be poor, weak plants, which have one or two flowers through out the summer, and instead of being a pleasure are an eyesore. They need a moderately heavy soil and plenty of well-rotted cow manure. To be kept in good, healthy condition, every spring the weak wood should be cut out and the strong shoots cut back to within two or three eyes. The ordinary garden Roses are divided into three classes: Hybrid Perpetuals, Hybrid Teas and Teas.
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES
Hybrid Perpetuals are very hardy and of vigorous growth. They form magnificent, sturdy bushes, the foliage of which, in many cases, is very hand- some. They bloom all summer, but because they flower more profusely in June they are often called June Roses.
Strong, 2-year-old stock, 35c. each, $30 per 100; 2-year- old pot-grown plants, 50c. each, $40 per 100 Abel Carriere. Purplish crimson.
Anne de Diesbach. Brilliant carmine.

Duke of Teck. Brilliant scarlet-carmine.
Fisher Holmes. Scarlet-red.
Frau Karl Druschki. Pure white.
General Jacqueminot. Scarlet-crimson.
Hugh Dickson. Crimson.
John Hopper. Rose-crimson.
Madame Gabriel Luizet. Rose.
Magna Charta. Bright pink.
Marshall P. Wilder. Cherry-carmine.
Monsieur Boncenne. Dark velvety crimson.
Mrs. John Laing. Dark pink.
Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. Pink.
Paul Neyron. Bright pink.
Prince Camille de Rohan. Velvety crimson. Ulrich Brunner. Cherry-red.
HYBRID TEA ROSES
The Hybrid Teas combine the free-flowering habit of the Tea Roses, with the comparative hardi- ness of other sorts. They represent every color and shade, and are exceedingly sweet-scented. They give a profusion of flowers all summer and until the frost comes.
Strong, 2-year-old stock, 40c. each, $35 per 100; 2-year- old, pot-grown plants, 60c. each, $50 per 100 Antoine Rivoire. Rosy yellow.

Choice Roses
CLIMBING ROSES, continued
*Lady Gay. (Hybrid Wichuraiana.) Very similar to Dorothy Perkins; double, light pink, quilled flowers.
*Newport Fairy. (Polyantha.) Introduced by us a few years ago. Single, light pink flowers; very vigorous habit.

*White Dorothy Perkins. Same as Dorothy Perkins in habit, but flowers are white.
DWARF POLYANTHA ROSES

Baby Dorothy. In color similar to Dorothy Perkins — carnation-pink.
Catherine Zeimet. White Baby Rambler. This is a new addition to this class, with double white flowers.
Erna Teschendorff. This is a sport of Baby Rambler. In habit and growth it is similar to the old variety, but surpassing it in beauty, richness and purity of color. Novelty.
Mme. N. Levavasseur. Baby Rambler. Rosy crimson, very free-flowering.
Mrs. William Cutbush. Similar in growth and flower to Baby Rambler, but flowers are light pink, something like those of Dorothy Perkins.
Orleans. Geranium-red, petals edged carmine, with white center.
Hiawatha Rose
CLIMBING ROSES
These are used for covering banks, walls and trellises, and are also very largely used in green- houses. We grow thousands every year for the Easter trade, and in the illustration is shown what can be done with our pot-grown plants.
Two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each, $3 for 10; 3-year- old plants, 50 cts. each, $4 for 10, except where noted. Varieties marked with a star (*), in strong, selected, pot-grown plants for forcing, $1.25 to S3 each.
American Pillar. (Polyantha.) A very fine, large, single, dark pink Rose. Strong, 3-yr.-old plants, 75 cts. each, $5 for 10; 2-yr.-old plants, 40 cts. each, $3 for 10.
Carmine Pillar. (Polyantha.) Single; rosy car- mine with white center; very free bloomer.
*Crimson Rambler. (Hybrid Multiflora.) One of the most popular climbing Roses; double, dark red flowers. Strong plants, 6 to 7 ft-, $1 each.
Turner’s Crimson Rambler. Very similar to the foregoing, but of a darker red.
*Dorothy Perkins. (Hybrid Wichuraiana.) Double light pink flowers; blooms very profusely.
Flower of Fairfield. (Polyantha.) This is called the Everblooming Crimson Rambler, as it has flowers of the same color as its namesake; but its great drawback is that at no time is it as showy as the other.
*Hiawatha. (Hybrid Wichuraiana.) This is one of the most beautiful single, brilliant pink Roses, and is the best in its class.

Perennial and Herbaceous Plants JULIUS ROEHRS CO., RUTHERFORD, N. J.
In this class will be found all the old-fashioned flowers which our grandmothers and great-grand- mothers were so fond of, and to which poets and writers of fiction are continually referring us. Take, for instance, the Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Trollius, Candytuft, Primrose and innumerable other varieties which have been known for years, which can be planted in the smallest garden. There is now the additional advantage of our being able to obtain improvements on the old types, with larger flowers and better colors, due to the forward movement in horticulture in the past few years.
Like most plants, perennials require well-cultivated soil, which should be kept clear of weeds after the plants are put in the ground. They require, outside of that, a fall and spring mulching of well-rotted stable manure, applied very lightly.
ACANTHUS. Bear's Breech. Very imposing per- ennials with fine foliage. Should be planted on rocky banks and in borders, and can also be planted in partly shaded places, as they will thrive but not flower so well. Each Doz.

Starwort, or Michaelmas Daisy The perennial, or Michaelmas Daisy is becoming a greater favorite every year on account of its pro- fusion of flowers coming, as they do, in the middle of summer and late fall.

Three-inch, strong, pot-grown plants, which will flower the first year, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $10 per 100, unless otherwise noted.

Fruits Under Glass
Fruits Under Glass
Grapes
Houses. — The ideal greenhouse for Grape-vines is an even-span house running north and south, about ioo feet long and 25 to 30 feet wide, divided into three sections of equal length; of course the size depends altogether upon the quantity of fruit desired. By dividing the house into three sections, it gives you early, medium and late fruit, which covers practically the whole season, from May 1 until January 1.
Border. — The border is the most important part of Grape-culture, as upon the proper making of one depends the whole future of the vine. The main question is the drainage; if the house has been built on high ground, it is much simplified. Dig a trench in the house at least 4 feet deep and the width of the house; then cement the bottom, pitching it toward the center from both sides about 6 inches, and have the center pitch to whatever end you can best drain from. Fill in on this about 15 inches of brickbats, broken crock, charcoal, etc., which gives you about 9 inches on the side, having the top level. Then fill in the lower layer with sod inverted, filling in with a good rose soil, adding coarse bone meal in the bottom and finer for the top, depending al- together on the requirements of the soil.
Muscat of Alexandria Grapes
Black Hamburg. (Sweetwater Grape.) One of the easiest and best to grow; adapts itself to early, medium or late houses; good keeper; free cropper. Black Alicante. (Vinous Grape.) At one time this was the greatest favorite and is still planted for exhibition purposes, as it has massive bunches ^of excellent color and bloom.
umickland Sweetwater. (Sweetwater Grape.) A round white Grape; ripens about the same time as Black Hamburg and is valuable for early use.
•Roster’s Seedling. (Sweetwater Grape.) A very robust grower, good setter and hangs well. A white seedling of Buckland Sweetwater.
Gros Guillaume; syn., Barbarossa. (Vinous Grape.) Produces exceptionally large bunches and has large, round, black berries. Late.
Grapes, continued
Gros Maroc. (Vinous Grape.) An excellent va- riety, the fruit being almost as large as that of Gros Colman. Fruit intense black with a heavy bloom. Late variety.
Gros Colman. This is the standard black Grape for late work. It is of easy culture and always full of bunches. Should not be started later than the first of April.
Madresfield Court. (Muscat Grape.) This is one of the oldest varieties, having been planted for the last forty or fifty years. It is a black Grape, with large berries. It does not require strong heat and just as good results can be obtained in a late house as in an early one.
Muscat of Alexandria. (Muscat Grape.) One of the oldest varieties and of exceptional merit. Should be planted in a house by itself, but can be grown in a mixed house; responds very readily to good treatment, but it must not be neglected. The fruit when ripe is pale amber in color.
Those most suitable for pot culture are Black Hamburg, Foster’s Seedling, Madresfield Court and Gros Colman.
Strong, pot-grown Grapes, $60 per doz.
Peaches and Nectarines
Peaches and Nectarines, being so similar, require practically the same treatment, and we shall, there- fore, treat them under one head.
Houses. — They require about the same kind of house as grapes. The house can also be divided into three compartments for early, medium and late varieties.
Borders. — They do not require as large a border as grape-vines. If the border is 3 feet deep and 4 feet wide it is sufficient. They do not like a heavy soil, but a sandy loam and very well drained.
Kind of Plants. — For planting in the border, you can buy the plants trained to the proper shape, but a much better method is to obtain a pot-grown, bushy tree which, with very little labor, can be trained any way you want it, with the additional advantage of having a tree which is not retarded in growth, and will start right into growth. These trees may also be grown in pots with the advantage of being able to bring them in a good deal earlier.
Peaches

Hale’s Early. This is a fairly easy grower and has large fruit.

These are usually planted in the kitchen-garden along trellises and against stone walls. The south wall is always preferable to the others.

The following list of fruit trees we have found to give the best satisfaction, provided a moderate amount of care is taken in planting and cultivating the trees after being planted. We give below a few hints as to care, etc.
Pruning. Before planting trees, shorten half of last year’s growth, to balance up what the tree has lost in its root-system by being transplanted.
Soil. All fruit trees, as a rule, do not grow well in wet or poorly drained soil. They do best in good farm soil such as is used to grow wheat, corn, etc.
Planting. The trees should always be planted in a hole large enough to allow the roots to be spread out without cramping them. Then when the tree is held in its proper position the top-soil should be placed around the roots and great care taken that it is worked in well among the small roots; then firm it thor- oughly with the foot.
Apples
Apples having been planted extensively for so many years require little introduction. In orchard planting they should stand about 30 feet apart, whereas in the home-grounds they can be planted 10 to 15 feet apart.

Senator Dunlap. Medium early and makes a long season. It is probably planted more exten- sively than any other variety at present. Should be planted about twice as far apart as most va- rieties, to do its best. The plants have very long roots and a surprising capacity for enduring drought and all kinds of hardship. The berries are very firm, and retain their brightness after traveling long distances.
Twilley. Medium early. It makes large plants with laige crowns and vigorous foliage, and the berry is large, firm, good and a great keeper. Uncle Jim. Also called Dornan. It makes im- mense plants, and roots that are a wonder for length and abundance, and yields great crops of large berries which hold their size well. The fruit is blight red and firm, with light red flesh; the quality is good, much above the average. Fendall. Early. A Maryland berry. It is a won- derful grower, with large foliage and long roots. The fruit is immensely large; in color and flavor it is all that could be desired. As to yield it is remarkably prolific. Its season of ripening is very long, covering a period of forty days. On this account, as well as for its fine flavor, it is excellent for home-gardens.
Glen Mary. Early. It is vigorous in growth, making large plants, which are exceedingly pro- ductive. On this account, together with the great size, brilliant color, good flavor and firm texture of the fruit, is has made its way to pop- ularity, notwithstanding its irregular form. Sample. Late. It was introduced about a dozen years ago, and has been one of the leading late varieties ever since. The plants are strong, with long roots, and are exceedingly prolific. The fruit is large, roundish, conical, bright red through- out, moderately firm, and fairly good.

Of all the flowers which Mother Nature has given us to satisfy our longings to grow her rare and beautiful creations, to embellish our homes with their fresh loveliness of form and color, or for personal adornment, there is none to compare with the Orchid.
In no other member of the Flower Kingdom are there such wondrous combinations of form, color and texture. No other flower so persistently appeals to the refined taste of those to whom Orchids have become a passion. In no other flower can there be found such charming grace, nor such exquisite perfume, varying from the faint, delicate fragrance of some of the Dendrobiums to the delicious and almost overpowering odor of the Aerides and Epidendrums.
Contrary to the generally mistaken opinion, Orchids are by no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection. With properly grown and well-established plants, such as we supply, their cultivation is as simple and easy as that of the ordinary greenhouse plant. Another prevalent error is that the Orchid is exclusively a “rich man’s flower.” This is by no means the case, for many of the varieties are relatively inexpensive, and it is possible, by the expenditure of a very limited amount of money, to have a collection of Orchids of superlative beauty. Naturally they require the proper kind of house, the correct receptacles and material in which to grow, care in watering and temperature, and other attention which must be given to all growing things. Given these, the Orchid will reward the grower most abundantly.
Orchids require plenty of light and air, but must not be exposed to the full sun; the proper shading of the Orchid house in summer is very essential. All the necessary details of Orchid-growing can be had from many of the practical books on the subject, a list of which will be found on page 75.

CATTLEYA
The Cattleyas are among the best known and most popular of all Orchids, being used in ever- increasing quantities for decoration wherever flowers are desired. They range through a bewildering vari- ation in color, are deliciously fragrant and most entrancing in form. They thrive best in a temperate house, with plenty of moisture. They can be grown in pots, pans and baskets in fibrous peat, with proper drainage. While they require shading from the strong sun in summer, dark houses should be avoided, and air should be .admitted whenever possible.

CYPRIPEDIUM
This most interesting branch of the Orchid family is composed of many varieties and an almost unlimited number of hybrids, of bewildering variation in form and color, and offers a bountiful field of enjoyment to the amateur. The Cypripediums are terrestrial Orchids, and grow best in a temperate house, on the shady side, with plenty of moisture and air. They should be potted in a compost of fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, with a small quantity of fibrous loam. They are of the easiest culture and bloom in the greatest profusion. Many of this class are extremely low in price and offer untold enjoyment to the Orchid-lover
of limited means.

DENDROBIUMS
The Dendrobiums belong to a very large genus of epiphytal Orchids, widely distributed, and varying greatly in character and habit, some being dwarf and tufted, but 3 inches high, while others carry pseudo- bulbs 3 to 4 feet high. They grow best in pans or baskets, hung near the glass, in a mixture of fibrous peat and sphagnum moss. Care should be taken in giving them the smallest possible pans or baskets, as they are very sensitive to overpotting. With a few exceptions the Dendrobiums require plenty of heat and moisture. When their growth is completed, they require cooler treatment, with plenty of light and air, followed by a season of rest.

ONCIDIUM
The Oncidiums are epiphytal Orchids of rare beauty, great variation in form and color, and are most prolific bloomers. Being natives of Mexico, Peru and the West Indies, they grow best in a temperature of from 50 to 55 degrees, and require plenty of air and moisture during growth. They may be grown in pots, pans or baskets, in a mixture of fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, and water must be given sparingly, but not withheld when their growth is completed.

HYBRID ORCHIDS
Brassocattleya, Brassocattlaelia, Brassolaelia, Cattleya, Cymbidium, Cypripedium,
Odontoglossum, Odontioda, etc.
Orchid hybridization dates back to 1856, when the first one raised was exhibited in London. Gradually others were raised, but during the next twenty years probably not more than twenty-five different hybrids were shown. Later on, many commercial and private establishments took up the work of Orchid hybrid- ization in such earnest, and with such astonishing results, that the number now is legion.
Remarkable results have been obtained by crossing different genera — see Odontioda, Sophrocattleya, etc. The chief consideration in hybridizing Orchids is the selection of the parents; and, even when this is done, the results vary to a great extent. It is, therefore, always advisable to buy these plants when they are in bloom, or those that have flowered and have proved to be good.

The magnificent display our plants make when grown in the conservatory
Stove and Greenhouse Plants
We have for years been growing a great variety of these plants, and by continually adding to our collection, we have today the finest in America.
These plants, with ever- varying foliage and habit of growth, a good many of them bearing beautiful flowers, add the necessary luster and beauty to the conservatory, and are an everlasting pleasure to the amateur. They are quite as easily grown as any others.
Many of these plants enumerated are climbers and creepers most desirable for decorating walls or -trel- lises, others of a trailing habit lend themselves finely to basket-work.
Many can be had in small sizes at moderate cost.
We also always have a number of specimen plants on hand to produce immediate effect, and anyone building a conservatory and wishing to stock it with really choice plants would do well to com- municate with us. Each

Roses and Carnations for Greenhouse Culture
We are at all times ready to supply all the known new and commercial varieties. Special lists, with prices, will be sent on application.
PALMS
All Palms are ornamental, and many varieties, being of a majestic yet graceful growth, are indis- pensable in conservatories. Of high decorative value, they produce an effect, whether used in parlor, hall or greenhouse, not to be obtained by any other plant.
We carry a large assort- ment, especially in the commer- cial varieties, like Kentia, Phoe- nix, Areca, Cocos, etc., but our list includes also many of the rarer varieties. We al- ways have on hand large speci- mens. Full descriptions and prices will be cheerfully for- warded on application.

Water-Lilies JULIUS ROEHRS CO., RUTHERFORD, N. J.
Sweet-scented Water-Lilies
Water-Lilies
Owing to the gorgeous colors and diversity of forms in this class of plants, they are universally ad- mired. In our large public parks and on our finest private estates, the space devoted to these is always sure to attract its share of attention.
America is fortunate in being the most highly favored country in the world for the cultivation of all classes of aquatics. From April to October we may have a rich and continuous display without artificial heat, and from the Nymphaeas in early spring until late fall a constant supply of new flowers may be had, varying in color from white and pink to the more brilliant shades of red, carmine and crimson.
The hardy varieties should be planted in May in this latitude, but the more tender ones should not be put out until the middle of June, when the weather is much warmer and more settled.
Always keep the pond well filled with water but avoid springs or running streams, as they tend to lower the temperature to a dangerous degree. We list below the best varieties known to cultivation.
