LARGE TREES.

We Move and Transplant Large Trees.—In connection with our Landscape Department, the moving and transplanting of large shade and ornamental trees has long been one of our specialties. We are most successful in this work, as we have all the latest facilities necessary for it, and can guarantee the results.

ROSES AT ROSE HILL.

Our Rose Department.—We would call special attention to this branch of our-business, as we have for years advocated the importance of planting Roses on their own roots only, aid we are convinced more strongly than ever, from experience and almost daily observation, that to plant budded or grafted Roses in a Rose garden or in beds out-of-doors is a great mistake. Ninety-nine out of every hundred Rose bushes, thus budded or grafted upon the wild rose, will throw out from the roots or from the neck of the main stem their strong, wild suckers, which invariably kill the tame or good part of the Rose. Many people, even gardeners themselves, not recognizing the presence of the strong and luxuriant growth of the wild stock, allow it to grow until it becomes stronger than the grafted or budded Rose, and then they wonder why their Roses do not bloom. The only remedy for the trouble is to purchase strong, healthy Roses from good, reputable dealers, who make a practice of growing them upon their own roots, as we invariably do. The cheap budded or grafted Roses seldom last more than from one to three seasons, when they must be renewed ; while on the other hand, the Roses on their own roots will last for fifty years, improving and getting better all the time. :

We pay a great deal of attention to the growing of Roses of all the best and hardiest varieties, and in all cases practice what we preach. None of the trouble mentioned aboye will be had by purchasers of our stock, and with all we send out we

guarantee satisfaction.

Treatment of Plants when Received. A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS UPON THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF GcANTe WHEN FIRST RECEIVED.

The very first thing tha! should be done when reé¢eiving plants, roots or bulbs, by freight or express, is to examine them thoroughly, and ascertain whether they have heen injured by careless handling or through exposure while in the care and keeping of the transportation companies. If if is found that the plants, trees or bulbs have been damaged during their transit, notify the company which carried them at once, and, if possible, have one of their representatives call and see them before you do anything to them, calling his attention to the injury of your goods, and the consequent loss to you. If you ean determine the amount of injury, make a claim upon the company at once; but if your loss is not then and there determin- able, notify the company that. you will only keep the plants upon the condition that they will make good any loss or damage you may sustain after you have done all you can fo restore the plants, ete. Should you have any reason to suppose that the goods were not properly packed by the shipper, and that in consequence of such poor packing they were injured, then, in that case, you should notify us immediately, reporting the condition in which the articles were received, and estimate your loss on them at the same time. If such loss is occasioned through any fault of ours; or that of our packers or shippers, we will promptly make good the damage, either by replacing such plants as are injured or by deducting them from the invoice. Should the transportation company refuse to make reparation for injuries to goods received from us through their neglect, advise us. at onee, and we will see to it that they be compelled to do so,

If the plants are reeeived in good condition, see if the balls of earth or roots are dry ; if so, give them a thorough watering, or if very dry, dip them into a bucket or tank of water, thoroughly soaking the roots and the earth about them.

If the plants have been on a long journey, and have not been in the light for some time, it is best to set them in a somewhat shaded place, and get them gradually used to the light. Should the plants have suffered from cold, or have been chilled, then a moderately cool or temperate place, well shaded, will be the best place to set them, and a thorough wetting of all the parts with very cold water, allowing as little air as possible to reach them, is the proper thing to do. If not too severely frozen, plants can be thus resuscitated and often saved entirely.

ITH this carefully revised Catalogue, we call your attention to our remarkable collection of plants, vines, shrubs and trees for all ornamental purposes. In variety and extent, the stock of the Rose Hill Nurseries is not equaled in America, and not excelled anywhere

in the world. In addition to the very large quantities

the standard varieties, we keep in touch with the new horticultural introductions of the world, and offer such as our own careful trials prove worthy of commendation.

THE ROSE HILL NURSERIES.

At New Rochelle, N. Y., 30 minutes’ ride from the Grand Central depot, New York City, are situated the extensive Nurseries, which com- prise upward of 100 greenhouses, some of them nearly 300 feet in length, and extensive grounds for the cultivation of all the choicest kinds of ornamental trees, shrubs and plants for the beau- tifying of suburban homes. All the most modern improvements and appliances are here brought into play for the purpose of producing the best plants at the lowest cost.

OUR TROPICAL NURSERIES.

On the Island of Trinidad, in the West Indies, we operate extensively in growing Palms and dee- orative plants for this market. The plants, being cultivated out-of-doors, are of a hardy quality, and for decorative purposes last much longer than many varieties when grown

under glass, and we can also furnish them at more reasonable

prices. Our direct connection with all the horticultural estab- lishments as well as all the botanical stations throughout the world gives to us most favorable and exceptional facilities for the introduction of new, rare and valuable plants at all times.

OUR NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT.

For city patrons, and those who visit New York, we main- tain at Fifth avenue and 37th street, New York City, a most extensive and model floral establishment, together with an office for our Nurseries. For over 30 years we have enjoyed a high-class trade, furnishing the most extensive and elabo- rate decorations that have been arranged. Having superior facilities and well matured experienee, we are enabled to serve our patrons with better goods than smaller establishments, and at more reasonable prices. During the summer season our Newport establishment is provided with the same complete outfit and the same facilities for serving and supplying our A View in Our Trinidad Nurseries. patrons with floral decorations as our New York establishment.

A VISit TO THE NURSERIES:

To customers and their friends contemplating purchases, we extend a hearty weleome (any day except Sunday). There

are always many objects of interest to be seen, and a personal inspection of the various valuable collections is solicited.

CONDITIONS UPON WHICH WE CONDUCT BUSINESS.

1. The prices given in this Catalogue are for small, well-developed plants, of a character suitable for shipping, and well worth paying express or freight charges upon! We wish particularly to state, however, that of nearly every item we have larger plants, and upon receipt of inquiries, we are always glad to send full details as to any specimens desired, giving height, size, number of leaves, ete. In Palms, particularly, our stock includes many noble specimens, obviously not properly mentionable in a catalogue, concerning which we are always ready to send complete information.

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 is 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. No charge for packing or cases !

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

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

5. Safe arrival assured. We guarantee the safe arrival of all plants sent by express. Should anything be injured in transit we would urge our customers to notify us at once on receipt of the goods, and in every ease send us a list of what has been damaged, so that we can replace them without delay. But when they arrive in good condition our responsibility ceases, and if from inattention or other causes they fail and complaint is then made, we cannot replace them. Plants sent other than by express are entirely at the risk of the purchaser.

6. Shipping facilities via Adams Express Co., by which customers receive 20 per cent discount; freight via New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad direct to all points east and northeast; or via New Rochelle and New York Trans-

LVew and Rare Plants

INCLUDING THE BEST INTRODUCTIONS OF i899 AND OTHERS EQUALLY RARE AND VALUABLE

ACALYPHA SANDERI.

Philippine Medusa Plant.

The sensation caused by this curious and brilliant-flowered plant from the Philippines was something extraordinary. Nothing so entirely novel or strikingly ornamental has been introduced for years. From every axil of its fine leaves it pro- duces bright crimson flowers in velvety, rope-like racemes about an inch thick, from 1 to 2 feet long, and of the character shown in our illustration of an average young plant. Older ones are thickly draped from crown of plant to base of pot with 25 to 40 trailing silken cords of shining red. These remain bright for a long time, and when removed are replaced by fresh ones, so that the plant never loses its striking color value. It is of strong, free growth and easy culture; give a warm tem- perature and full sunshine. Silver medals have been awarded it at Boston and New York. 50 ets. each, $5 per doz.

ACALYPHA GODSEFFIANA.

Another fine species found growing with A. Sanderi. It is evenly and exquisitely variegated with white, green and yel- low, the white color entirely encircling the leaf. The plant is fine and neat in habit,—bushy, dwarf, compact, well-balanced,

a mass of white, yellow and vivid green all through the winter months. For summer bedding it has also been tested, and proved quite as valuable as for greenhouse decoration. Very different from all other Acalyphas, and will take first rank as a decorative plant for all purposes where bright, striking plants are needed. $1.

New Amaryllis Hybrids. (Siebrecht d: Son.)

These results of our own erosses from the most elegant and valuable sorts are all distinct and superb. Many of their flower-stalks bear 5 and 6 blooms each, all of great size and substance, and unequaled in forms and colors.

Dracena Godseffiana.

DRACAENA GODSEFFIANA.

This Draczna is entirely different from all others in general habit and leaf-markings. It is of free, branching growth, has a vigorous constitution, and a peculiarly graceful habit. The foliage is deep, polished green, irregularly and heavily dotted and splashed with creamy white; the stems are slender and wiry. From the base of the plant many young shoots are sent up, so that compact, graceful specimens are quickly formed. It is very hardy as a house plant, equaling, if not surpassing, in this respect the aspidistra and ficus. Our engraving, from a photograph, shows the character of the plant very well. We offer three sizes: 1st size, 5-inch pots, $3; 2d size, 3-inch pots, $1; 3d size, 24-inch pots, 50 ets.

New Hybrid Fern, ASPLENENDRIUM STRICTUM.

(Siebrecht d Son.)

This new Fern partakes very thoroughly of the habits and characteristies 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 propagated from spores, will be a valuable commercial plant, for which use

it is most heartily commended. SABAL GLAUCESCENS. (Siebrecht d Son.) A very distinct and attractive new palm from Brazil. It is of rather medium height, with fine, broad foliage, that is bright

green on the upper surface and underneath a beautiful glaucous blue. $1.

Four Elegant ... Dracaenas.

ARGENTEO-STRIATA. An extremely ele- gant narrow-leaved species, imported from the South Sea Islands. It has narrow, bright green leaves, beautifully striated and occasionally margined with creamy white, the bright green being also relieved with streaks of silvery gray. Tt is of exceptionally neat habit, and admirably adapted for table decoration and other orna- mental purposes. 5.

AUSTRALIS AUREA STRIATA. This isa beautiful and striking plant for coolhouse eul- ture. The broad leaves are beautifully varie- gated with a number of yellow stripes running lengthwise. $10.

DE SMETIANA. A erand hybrid, with broadly oblong leaves. The ground color is rich bronze, beautifully colored on the margin with red and white. $5.

INDIVISA ATROPURPUREA. Very light, narrow, graceful leaves of bright crimson-red. | One of the most desirable additions to the coolhouse section of

Dracenas, even prettier than the fine, plain green form, which

has been a favorite for years. $5.

BEGONIA, GLOIRE DE LORRAINE.

The Most Beautiful of all Winter-flowering Begonias.

This Begonia is now given first place among all winter-flow- ering varieties. From October until April the elegant little plants are a wonder of beauty and profuse, fresh pink bloom. They grow from 12 to 15 inches high, and their handsome, bronze-tinted leaves are fairly smothered with flowers.

This yariety makes an elegant plant for hanging pots, being conspicuous for its graceful and delicate beauty. It is also

useful for cut-flowers, lasting a week in water; and for dinner- €

table decoration it is especially beautiful when mixed with fine adiantum or the glossy dark green Asparagus Sprengeri. The color is a perfect match for some of the choice new pink roses. The plants also make beautiful center pieces in a neat arrange- ment of small palms and ferns. It is very satisfactory, too, for a window plant, accommodating itself to the ordinary eare of a good window gardener. $3.

FICUS RADICANS VARIEGATA.

This pretty creeping Ficus has broad, irregular variegations of white margining its leaves. Its free, regular growth, easy culture and bright variegation make it one of our most elegant new vines for hanging pots and yases, for the margins of stages, or for training over low trellises into specimen ornamental plants. (From introducer’s description.) Good small plants, from 3-inch pots, $3.

28 GREENHOUSES IN CULTURE.

Our stock of Palms is well known to be the most extensive in America. It is noted, also, for being the best in assort-

ment, including, as it does, everything fine in Palms, from grand specimens 15 to 20 feet high, to dozens of beautiful small

species compact and charming enough for table decoration. A

} i Palm house recently added to our nurseries (285 x 32x 16 feet) is the ae 5 largest in America.

To produce the best Palms has been our aim at all times, and therefore our great stock is all in the best possible condition, having been grown With great eare in low temperature. Palms grown in a high temperature make a more rapid growth, but it is a soft growth, easily affected by atmospheric changes, and invariably droops soon after remoyal to cooler conservatories or dwellings.

We solicit correspondence from all who are making additions to their collections of Palms, and will be glad to furnish estimates of the stock desired. Our list of Grand Specimens of Choice and Rare Palms, page 12, will be of special interest to sueh customers.

ARECA LUTESCENS.

Palm.

This feathery and graceful golden-stemmed Palm is one of the handsomest in cultivation, and desirable in every stage of growth. Itis of free growth, branching at the root into numerous stems,and soon develops into fine specimens, well furnished with leaves. The long, arching, pinnated fronds are firm-textured, durable, shining green on both surfaces, and most gracefully disposed. The plant fits well into any decorative scheme, and has a great variety of uses. We have a grand stock of it in many sizes, all in fine condition and well har- dened. Our illustration shows the bush form so popular among Rose Hill customers. $1.50 and upward. Forother Arecas, see next page.

KENTIA BELMOREANA. “Queen of Palms.”

The Kentias are peerless among Palms both for beauty and utility. Although of such exceeding grace, they have fronds of a tough, leathery tex- ture, that renders them very durable, even under careless treatment. same fine trait also renders them immune to attacks of diseases and insects, to the baleful influences of dust, gas and dry air, and enables them to keep their fresh, elegant appearance even through rough usage.

KENTIA BELMOREANA is, beyond question, the finest Palm grown. graceful, compact, spreading growth, its fine stems are well furnished with broad, shining leaves quite to the base, so that the plants are beautiful even The long, tapering leaf-segments have a pretty habit of curving at their tips, which has given the plant the name, also, of “Curly This Palm is of good form for any decorative purpose,—from all our great and varied stock we could select nothing finer and more beau- We have an immense stock of this grand Palm, in which all sizes are represented, and all are in splendid condition, well hardened and well See illustration.

The species is peculiarly a plant which one wants to have near by—on a desk or dressing table, as well as in the more con-

ventional places, because of its refreshing color and elegant effect. The plants do not outgrow the space allotted them, or the

PRITCHARDIA (LICUALA) GRANDIS.

The Choicest and Rarest Palm Known,

Until lately this Palm was so rare as to be almost unknown to the general public, though long recognized by collectors as one of the noblest in existence. It is of most majestic habit, spreading its beautifully fluted leaves to enormous size in fine old specimens. The stems are spiny, and the leaves broad, glossy, nearly circular, closely veined, and very firm in texture, though so light and graceful in appearance. Our illustration shows the character of the leaves, yet gives but a faint idea of the plant’s great decorative value. See also Grand Specimens of Choice and Rare Palms, page 12. $15 and upward,

LATANIA BORBONICA.

Chinese Fan Palm.

A Palm of distinet and noble character, invariably given prominence in collec- tions or decorations. Of free, rapid growth, it soon develops into grand speci- mens, which show their characteristic habit at an early age. Its broad, beau- tiful round leaves have the glossy sheen of a mirror, are much recurved, and are eleft into a graceful fringe along the edge, Their tough, hardy texture enables them to resist dust and gas well, and to endure considerable cold, For general decorations this Palm forms richest banks of green, and for the many uses of a house plant, no Palm is more largely grown or better fitted. Our stock is elean and fine, showing beautiful broad leaves. Showy specimens, $2.50 to $25; smaller plants, $1.

PHOENICOPHORIUM SECHELLARUM.

(Stevensonia grandifolia.)

This is the celebrated Phoenix Palm, also ealled, on account of its remarkable history, the “Thief Palm.” It has grand, dark green, fluted foliage of immense size, exceedingly glossy and dotted with many minute orange-colored spangles. The stems also are of an orange color and covered with long black spines. Justly

considered one of the handsomest and most imposing Palms in the whole race.

A Photographic View in our Great Cattleya House.

Orchids.

8 HOUSES.

O most Orchid growers it is well known that we have one of the most extensive and valuable commercial collections of Orehids 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 they are found growing naturally.

Orehid-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. There is something about these plants whieh, 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.

We can now offer the best Orchids at prices little higher than those usually charged for ordinary greenhouse plants. Their culture is as simple and as easy for amateurs as that of the rose or carnation. Experience has taught many that more Orchids are killed by coddling in a close atmosphere than by anything else. They do not require a separate greenhouse, but may be grown with great suecess in the same temperature as tender roses and other plants, and will increase annually in Size and value.

All Orchids are shipped in pots or in baskets, ready for growing, so that no trouble beyond merely placing them in position in the greenhouse is necessary to the purchaser.

The prices quoted for Orchids in the following list are those ruling at the date of publication. The value of many kinds varies from time to time. The latest prices we will always be pleased to quote upon application.

Our Collection of Choice and Rare Orehids, grand specimens in many cases, will be of special interest to Orchid enthusiasts and the owners of large collections. See page 6.

CYPRIPEDIUM INSIGNE. Jewelled Lady’s-slipper.

This grand old species, the most prominent in the genus, is well known as the most beautiful and easily grown of any. It is queen of the midwinter season, thriving well in any ordinary greenhouse or even ina sunny window. The flowers, which are produced in great numbers from November to March, are large, glossy, very lasting and of various shades of green, golden yellow, brownish purple and white. We offer some new and rare hybrids of C. insigne on page 6, and some very fine older ones will be noted in our general collection. Good plants of C. insigne, $2.50 and upward.

This is an extensive and magnificent genus of Orchids, varying wonderfully in habit of growth and form of flowers, and ineluding some of the finest and most useful species in eulti- vation. : : Many of Cypripedium insigne. the spe- cies blossom very freely, and as their flowers are large and showy, delicate in color and delightfully fragrant, they are of especial value for cutting. The large, velvety blotches on the flowers of some spe- cies have given them the popular name of “Pansy Orchids.” By growing about twelve different varieties, one or another ean be had in flower nearly the whole year. No one who owns a warm house can afford to deny himself the pleasure a collection of Dendrobes will give. Their culture is simple and their bloom lavish and exquisite.

DENDROBIUM THYRSIFLORUM, the variety illustrated, has flowers Of waxen white, with golden orange lip, regularly and grace- fully set upon many-flowered drooping racemes. It is a native of Burmah, and blooms in April and May. For other beautiful varieties, see our General Collection, $2.50.

ODONTOGLOSSUMS. Jewel Orchids. -

The Odontoglots excite more general admira- tion than any other race of Orchids. Their long, curving, glittering sprays of rich, waxen flowers are beautiful beyond description. They are exquisite for all eut-flower purposes, and, whether cut or used in pots, to see them arch- ing over a bank of Adiantum Farleyense is to see one of the richest and daintiest combinations possible. In no other Orchids are the enthusi- astie collector’s high ideals of all that is bean- tiful in rare exotics so fully realized. We have a fine collection of Odontoglots, and offer the most popular ones in our General Collection, which see.

0. ALEXANDRAE CRISPUM, the variety illustrated, is the most splendid of all the cool- house Orchids, by many called the “Queen of Orchids.” As many as 120 blossoms in 4 ra- cemes have been produced by a single specimen. More plants of this are grown than of any other kind, and there are hardly any two with flowers alike ; indeed, the same plants vary a great deal in their flowers from year to year, this variation being considered one of their great charms. The individual flowers of the type are about 4 inches across, and pure white, with spots of rich brown near the center. They are borne in very long, rich sprays. The plants : bloom from January to May, and occasionally Odontoglossum Alexandre crispum. through the year. $5 and upward.

(Moth Orchids.)

From our latest possessions, the Philippines, comes this grand genus, surpassing all others in magnificence of

flowers. and are airily sup- ported on slender, branching stems, Most glorious, too, in deli- cate richness of color and great profusion are these flowers, more than 300 having been counted on a single plant. If anumber of different species are eultivated, some may be had in bloom the year round, and a most valuable property of the flowers is the length of time they remain fresh and beau- tiful; imdeed, from plants not most vigor- ous, it is advisable to eut the flowers before they fade naturally. Their coustruction is eurious and wonderful, and the plants them- selves have a singular habit and bird-like appearance, as they hang suspended upon rafts, blocks or bas- kets. Their waxen leaves, also, are very fine; some are of rich olive-green, while oth- ers are whitish, mot- tled and marbled, on brown-green ground.

Lerns and Selaginellas.

No type of beautiful foliage is so generally admired as that of the Ferns and Mosses, or is so adaptable for many uses. To supplement the majestic elegance of palms and cyeads we have the lofty Tree Ferns; many species are especially suited for the decoration of smaller conservatories, and nothing is so fine as Fern-fronds for mingling with eut-flowers. A vast variety there is, too, among them, from the delicate, transparent fronds of the Adiantums to the bold foliage of Nephrolepis and Pteris; or from the lovely Selaginellas, carpeting the ground, to the tall Tree Ferns.

Ferns are another great specialty with us, and our pride in offering 14 houses of the finest stock in cleanest, healthiest condition we think entirely justifiable. Our extensive and carefully grown stock affords ample opportunity for buyers to select any forms and sizes which may please their fancy or suit their convenience.

ADIANTUM FARLEYENSE. Queen of Maidenhair Ferns.

This is, perhaps, the choicest of all Adian- tums, and necessary to all really good collec- tions. It is a strong, shapely grower, often producing fronds 18 inches to 2 feet long and 10 inches wide. The young growth is frequently tinged with soft pink, shaded to yellow and green. The plant requires a warm atmosphere, and must never be allowed to get dry. Its ex- quisite, filmy fronds are the most beautiful green that can be used with orchids, choice roses, ete., and for the decoration of tables, mantles and banking it is our finest Fern. No other species so well combines boldness of foli- age, arising from the large pinnw, and extreme elegance and delicacy of appearance and col- oving. The character of the fronds is well shown on our front eover. Our stock of this essential Pern is very large and in the finest condition. $1 and upward,

ADIANTUM CUNEATUM.

The well-known, dainty Maidenhair Fern, of easy culture and fine growth, indispensable for all purposes. ‘The fronds and pinne are smaller than those of A. Harleyense, but the variety has a beauty all its own, which has earned it sub- stantial popularity. A good plant is shovn ir ™ a! : ee 23 : our illustration, 25 ets, and upwarc Adiantum cuneatum.

THE NEPHROLEPIS, or SWORD FERNS.

All the Sword Ferns are of a firm, durable texture, that enables them to keep a fine appearance through considerable rough

and careless usage.

NEPHROLEPIS CORDATA COMPACTA.

(Siebrecht d Son.)

This most elegant and useful of all Ferns up to date is an introduction of our own, and we control the largest stock of it in this country. It is of free, strong, compact growth, attain- ing, when fully grown, a height of about 2 feet. The fronds are a richer, darker green than those of the Boston Sword Fern, and more erect, curving just enough to be graceful. For all the rough, exacting usage of general house decoration we recommend it as one of the most satisfactory, endur- ing Ferns that ean be grown, useful where the taller Sword Ferns are in- admissible. A Rose Hill plant is shown on our last cover page. 7dc¢. up.

HARDY FERNS, for rockeries, grottos, shady nooks, ete. These we can supply in good assortment at rea- sonable prices. Write us of your needs, or send list for our estimate.

For the decorative purposes for which they are just now being introduced nothing could be handsomer. In

summer they are beautiful plants for hanging pots or baskets on the piazza, or for shady borders; in winter they are among our best cool greenhouse, conservatory and house plants. The varieties that we offer are all so dif- ferent in character that each fills some distinet need. Some other choice ferns, besides those illustrated here, are quoted on page 25.

NEPHROLEPIS EXALTATA BOSTONIENSIS.

Boston Fern, Fountain Fern.

A particularly elegant and popular species, with much longer, slenderer fronds, that sweep to a height of 4 or 5 feet and arch gracefully in every direction. This pretty, drooping habit has given it the name of “Fountain Fern,” also, and makes it of especial value for growing as a single speci- men on pedestals or tables.

TREE FERNS.

The Tree Ferns have all the stately grace and elegance of the Palms, enhanced by sweeping plumes of foliage most delicate and lace-like in detail. Being rarer than Palms, and not in such general use, their magnificent propor- tions and broad crown of fronds attract much more attention, and have a more distinguished air. Every tropical greenhouse, of any pretensions whatever, should inelude at least a few specimens, which will be found of great use in decorations.

We are constantly importing fine, healthy stems of all the leading varieties, as well as some new and rare species, all of which we offer at moderately low prices. We also have large and extra-large specimens “of extreme beauty in perfect condition, the prices of which can be had on application. See Special List.

SUCCULENT PLANTS.

Including Agaves, Aloes, Echeverias, Euphorbias, Mesembryanthemums, Rocheas, Sansevieras, Sedums, Sempervivums and Cactuses.

Succulent plants are useful in many situations, both indoors and in the garden or on the lawn. ‘They are especially available for rockeries, and lend themselves to outdoor bedding in sunny places in a most distinct and effective way. Nearly all of the Agayves, many of the Aloes, and others of the robust habit, make handsome orna- mental plants on lawns, or for decorating entrances, balconies, ete. Many of the Cactuses and Mesembryanthemums are noted for their brilliant flowers, while the strange shapes of the Euphorbias, Stapelias and Crassulas win for them much atten- tion. We keep in stock all select ornamental forms of Cacti and Succulent Plants, and furnish a deseriptive price-list to all who ask for it.

CACTUS COLLECTIONS.—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 collec- tions of greater extent, we will be pleased to supply lists of the best species, with prices. Cacti for bedding will be supplied, also, at very moderate prices, by the dozen or hundred.

Stove and Greenhouse Plants.

In this important department of our great stock we include all the best sorts of flowering and foliage plants which are grown under glass, either in a warm stove temperature, or in the cooler atmosphere of the greenhouse. The majority of tender-flow- ering bulbs form a sub-department; the bulbous and tuberous forms, grown for their beautiful leaves, are classed here with

other foliage plants.

A liberal use of beautiful foliage is necessary in all state decorations, and also for brightening all the rooms of the house. To properly furnish greenhouse and conservatory without their beautiful leaves would be impossible. Our stock is all in

superb condition,

clean, healthy, well-furnished with leaves, grown with especial regard to coloring the leaves brightly and giv-

ing the plants a hardy, enduring character, Such stock will give infinitely better satisfaction than that grown carelessly and in greater heat. By stove plants or stove temperature, is meant plants which thrive in a warm living-room temperature.,

ANTHURIUMS. “Flamingo Flower.”

The popular name, quoted aboye, was probably given because the large, brilliant scarlet spathes, long spadices and long stems of the Anthuriums suggest this brilliant-plumaged bird,

These are the most valuable of Aroids, on account of their noble leaves and curious, brilliantly colored flowers. The large, rich leaves are often finely marked, and the flower-spathe is remarkable for size, brilliant color and lasting quality, for it remains in perfection a long time on the plant. The plants are in bloom nearly the entire year, and always attract attention by their oddity and bright colors. Very useful for table decoration, or for a stand in parlor or sitting-room, as well as for greenhouse and conservatory; the bright colors of the spathes afford a great relief to the green iu tropical foliage decorations.

ANTHURIUM ANDREANUM, the variety illustrated, is one of the most striking species of all. The large flower-spathe opens wide and flat, is of a glossy, most brilliant orange-red, and the long spadix is yellow. The flowers sometimes last three or four months. This has been the parent of many fine hybrids, showing large flowers of brilliant scarlet, salmon, dark red and rose. It is very fascinating work to hybridize Anthuriums, and the seedlings obtained are often of great beauty and value. The true variety. $5 and up.

A choice collection of other Anthuriums is offered below. We give much space and attention to these plants, and offer the finest stock to be found anywhere. It is well worth a visit to Rose Hill to see only its Anthuriums.

AGLAONEMA.

The Alocasias are allied to the caladiums and quite as useful in the stovehouse as these are in cooler temperatures. Their grand leaves are as large as the caladiums and even more oddly shaped and colored. We cordially commend them to more gen- eral use. Our list of the best Alocasias will be found on page 27.

ALOCASIA SANDERIANA. This noble plant is of very striking character, as will be seen from our engraving. The great leaf-blades are arrow-shaped, with about three large triangular lobes on each side.

ARAUCARIA.

These handsome New Zealand plants resemble miniature eyer- greens Of perfect symmetry and elegant proportions. Their dense, deep green branches grow in feathery star-shaped whorls, and extend outward almost at right-angles with the trunk in a most unique and effective fashion. This striking character gives them a very prominent position among decorative plants. Large specimens are grand and most valuable; smaller ones give beauty and charming variety in decorations of all sorts.

ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. Norfolk Island Pine, Star Palm, ete. The species which has become so popular for commercial purposes, for house culture and conservatory decoration. Native of a cool, southern hemisphere, it with- stands a temperature anywhere above freezing, and retains its shape and color in a dark place better than almost any other decorative plant. $2 and upward.

A. IMBRICATA. Monkey Puzzle. Some specimens of this odd plant ex- hibited at the Madison Square Garden a few years ago attracted more attention than any other plants exhibited at the time. The common name is given with reference to the prickly nature and curious formation of the branches, which put to confusion the monkeys that attempt to climb them. The habit of the plant, as shown in our picture, is fine and decorative as well as interesting.

Alocasia Sanderiana.

It is hardy in England and in some portions of this country, but in our locality can be grown only in pots.

Group of Fine Crotons.

CROTONS.

We know of nothing that can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that is found among Crotons, and they have many uses. They are beautiful as pot plants for the conservatory, making handsome specimens for decorative and ex- hibition purposes, and are now used exten- sively as bedding plants, for which pur- pose they are excep- tionally well adapted. They should be planted in full sun, in a posi- tion where they can be liberally supplied with water, which develops the most wonderful colors in the leaves. The brightest and most attractive beds in the parks of this and other large cities have, for the last few years, been formed entirely of Cro- tons. We have, per- haps, the largest and the choicest stock of Crotons in this coun- try, and think that we may offer it to the most fastidious of our

These are standard plants for all sorts of ornamentation. The ‘firm-textured, enduring leaves, be they broad or narrow, spreading or recurved, in! all cases pre- serve.a distinctly graceful and stately habit.

Tender Bulbs and Tubers.

Many of our most showy and brilliant flowering plants have bulbous or tuberous roots, which, with but a minimum of care, are very free of bloom. Our Amaryllids will be found worthy of especial attention; we make a specialty of this superb genus, and are headquarters for it. Some of the species are peculiarly adapted to house culture, thriving exceedingly well in an ordinary window, and presenting their brilliant flowers in winter and early spring. We have many rare species, and grow them to great perfection at our Tropical Nurseries in Trinidad. The beautiful new hybrids are fine for early forcing.

HYBRID AMARYLLIS.

Among all brilliant flowering bulbs, these are certainly of the greatest beauty and value for house culture. The lovely and showy flowers have a great range of color, and many of the hybrids are of such richness as to make it almost impossible to do them justice. Our Tropical Nurseries at ‘Trinidad give us superior opportunities for the rapid and perfect growth of Amaryllis.

New Orchid-flowering Italian CANNAS.

The growth of all these varieties is similar and remarkably vigorous. Under good culture they grow 6 to 8 feet high, and their flowers fre- quently measure 6 inches across. Their petals are not so thick as those of the French varieties, and so do not last so long, but are produced continually with the greatest freedom,

Africa. Dark bronzy foliage; flowers orange-salmon, darkening to searlet in the throat. Allemania. Exceptionally large flowers; upper petals salmon, with

broad border and markings of golden yellow; lower petal dark salmon, marked with yellow in the center. Foliage dark green.

America. Bronzy foliage, marbled with green; flowers rich orange- @ salmon, feathered and veined with scarlet.

Austria. Pure canary-yellow, with few reddish brown dots on the two inside petals.

Burbank. Similar to Austria, but is more compact in habit.

Italia. Bright orange-scarlet, with a very broad golden yellow border; foliage is large and heavy, like that of Musa Ensete.

La Franee. Has darker foliage and more compact habit than America. Flowers orange-searlet, Bloom constant and profuse, Parthenope. Dark orange, shaded with yellow. Pluto. Foliage rich bronze-red; flowers red, flamed with orange.

Prof. Treub. Foliage purple; flowers orange-red, splashed with yellow. Price I5 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100; the set of 10 varieties for $1.25.

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING AMERICAN CANNAS.

President MeKinley. Color brilliant crimson, with bright shading. ‘Truss large, compact, of good shape and held well above the foliage; flowers produced freely and evenly. Foliage deep green, with marked chocolate margin. A compact, even grower, and one of the earliest bloomers, coming into flower when 14 inches high and blooming continuously thereafter. 3 feet high.

President Cleveland. It is of strong, robust habit, growing about three feet high, with rich green foliage. The flowers, which are bright orange-searlet, are borne in enormously large trusses well above the foliage.

Sam Trelease. The greatest merit of this variety is that the flowers open out flat, making a large, nearly circular flower. In color it is the nearest approach to a pure searlet yet introduced; the edges and center are marked with yellow, as in Madame Crozy. The plant grows about three feet high, with large, freely branching spikes of flowers thrown well above the foliage.

Sunray. AN ENTIRELY DISTINCT STRIPED VARIETY. The flowers are of large size, open out well, and are produced very freely. The ground color is a rich bright yellow, with stripes and dashes of bright scarlet.

A Pond of Aquatics, Nelumbiums in Foreground.

Aquatics.

Water-gardening is one of the delightful and refreshing fads for summer time. Water Lilies and other Aquatie plants can be grown so easily that cool little ponds, tubs or spacious tanks dimpled with their flowers are now favorite spots in all the best-planned gardens. The fender sorts can be removed to greenhouse or cellar upon the approach of winter, and, if not allowed to freeze or become dry, can easily be wintered over. Hardy sorts will sueceed well in any stream or pond, and stand the winters in latitudes where the water does not freeze to the bottom of the pond.

We are well prepared to supply fine stock of these beautiful plants, and can give larger and stronger plants, true to name, for less money than any other firm. Special attention is asked for our stock of the finest Nelumbium in the world—N. album grandiflorum—and to our remarkably low price for it.

LOSCS.—One 0 yf Our Specialties.

In praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular estima tion—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 haying a distinetive beauty all its own. At Rose Hill the “Queen of Flowers” receives attention equally with Palms, Orchids and Ferns. We grow immense quantities of Roses 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 whieh no place. however small, is complete.

New Rose, BELLE SIEBRECHT.

This variety will, we believe, prove to be one of the most satisfactory Roses we have ever offered. It is as free-blooming as a Tea Rose and hardy as a Perpetual, aunion of the two most desirable qualities in Roses. It is equally valuable for winter forcing as for summer blooming. The color is a unique shade of pink, clear and constant—just the shade long desired. Price, first size, 50 cts. each, $4.50 per doz.; second size, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; third size, 15 ets. each, $1.50 per doz.

New Rose, ADMIRAL DEWEY.

A sport from Madame Caroline Testout. Introduced as a hardy and valuable bedding Rose, vigorous in habit and free of bloom. The color is delicate blush- pink, shading to white; the shape is globular, expand- ing into a large, fragrant flower, quite double to the center; the stems are so long and stiff as to require little tying. $1 each, $9 per doz.

STANDARD or TREE ROSES.

These Roses, as a rule, do not succeed so well in America as in Hurope, where no well-appointed garden is complete without a collection of them. But years of experience have shown us that if treated in the manner preseribed below they will thrive well, forming handsome trees and giving little trouble. (1) They should be budded or grafted upon Brier stock, not upon R. canina or Dog Rose. (2) The Brier stocks, when planted, should have good, fibrous roots, with no suckers starting from them, and if these should appear at any time they must be promptly removed. (3) Plant the Rose Trees in good, loamy soil, stake them well, and wrap the entire stem about an inch thick with rye- straw, tying on the wrapping with willows. (4) During very dry, hot weather, syringe the Roses often, preferably every evening after sun- down. This will keep the stems moist, which is very essential. (5) After the first few light frosts the stems should be bent over into as nearly a horizontal position as may be, and covered with pine boughs, straw mats, or anything that will shade them from the sun. Dwarf Roses can be planted between and beneath the Standards, giving splendid effects. We keep in stock a choice selection of the best varieties only, all of which are 2 and 3 years old, from bud or graft, Trees of best quality, $3 each, $30 per doz,

Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses.

INCLUDING THE “EVERBLOOMING” ROSES AND THE NOISETTE HYBRIDS.

fender Roses, their flowers improve in quality as the season advances, and reach perfection in autumn. In judging the merits of a Tea Rose, we do not always con- sider fulness of flowers a requisite. A Hybrid Perpetual is nothing if not at least moderately full, but some of our most valued Teas are comparatively single, yet have exquisitely formed buds, and are, therefore, inval- uable. The Teas are more tender than other classes, and need a little more care in their protection. We have rejected all varieties that are of feeble growth and unhealthy habit, retaining only such as combine beauty of flower with good constitution.

Our Rose-bushes are all strong and vigorous, on their own roots, and will give entire satisfaction, either for bedding or forcing.

New Rose, MAID OF HONOR. (Miss Clara Barton.)

The introducers of this exceedingly pretty Rose, after testing it rigidly for two years, state that it is superior to Bridesmaid in three cardinal points: (1) That its color is a rich, glowing pink—darker and more beauti- ful than that of Bridesmaid. (2) That it keeps fresh longer and sells better than Bridesmaid. (3) That it is a most prolific bloomer, and perfects all its buds. Should the Rose justify ull these claims it deserves great éclat, as Bridesmaid has long been considered very near perfection in a forcing Rose. 38-inch pots, 25 ects. each, $2.50 per doz. :

Hardy Hybrid Roses.

These are the most hardy and vigorous of all Roses, and when once established will live through the winter in the most exposed situation without protection, Their superb, fragrant flowers frequently measure 5 inches across. In the newer varieties the perpetual-blooming habit is being emphasized, so that a more continuous and profuse crop of flowers is given through the season; but the choice older forms bloom profusely only in spring, with a lighter aftermath of blossoms scattered through ensuing months. When young they should have some

protection during winter. If properly pruned and cared for, the plants will inerease in strength and beauty for many succeeding years. They should be planted invariably in the open ground, not being suitable for house culture. grafted on our superior Japanese stock, which gives a double set of feeding roots, and supports extra strong, healthy plants.

PRICE: Strong 2-year-olds, in dormant state (not started to grow), 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.; fine I-year-old plants, dormant, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.; extra-strong 2-year-old pot-grown plants, which can be set out at any time, and are also excellent for winter forcing (these are the plants which produce the large Roses sold by the florists in winter), 75 cts. to $I each.

SIEBRECHT & SON’S PATENT GREENHOUSE SHADING.

The most satisfactory Shading ever used. Never gets out of order. Lasts as long as a good greenhouse.

How it is 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 any width and length to suit size of roof. hese 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 whitewash or paint. = oe —_ It gives your house an even and cooling shade, and a neat appearance. It E === can be rolled up and down at will, which is a great advantage, especially = —— =. when the short, dark days come and only a little shading is needed. Esti- = mates given on application.

LETTER FROM CUSTOMER ABOUT OUR SHADING. =

Sreprecur & Son. LENOX, MAss., March 25, 1899. Gentlemen—Allow me to state that I have used your Patent Shading for the last six years. It is without doubt the most excellent patent for shading greenhouses I have ever seen, especially for foliage plants, orehids and semi-tropical plants. Ido not consider anything better or so useful, durable and ornamental. It is also more practical than any other Shading,especially for private greenhouse purposes. It gives just the very light required during the summer season, and all plants seem to enjoy S this perfect Shading. During all these years we have had no expense whatever in > repairing your shades, They are very easily handled. If cloudy weather prevails =s F they are volled up, and full light is given to the plants. In stormy weather, such as E=.€ = we often have in midsummer, they are also excellent protection to the glass from hail. = —— = = They have given us excellent service and perfect satisfaction, and I ean, with pleas- \ ure, recommend this Shading to any patron who needs a perfect shading. Very respectfully yours, J. F. Huss, with G. H. Morgan, Esq.

Landscape Architecture

With over a quarter century’s experience, we offer our services for all Landscape and Planting Work, of whatever magnitude, We will send competent and expert Landscape Architects, upon application, to inspect either new or old places, with a view to planting or remodeling. ‘lhis 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 is our custom to fully guarantee our planting for one year, and we replace, free 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.

Many country residence places may be wonderfully im- proved at a very moderate expense by the intelligent efforts of our Inmdseape 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 responsi- bility. Competent gardeners are nearly always at our com- mand for the care of such places.
