“SPECIAL MENTION.

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

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

lowing pages are the best in their respective classes, and we trust our friends who receive this Catalogue will do us the mere justice of appreciating

the labor and expense incurred in presenting thus to them, in convenient, accurate

and compact form, a graphic reflection of our immense stock—a stock representing our researches the world over for the best things in plant life.

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

special ability to meet any demands.

What a Kodak caught in our Trinidad Nurseries.

View or AN AVENUE IN OUR UNITED STATES TROPICAL NURSERIES, DABADIE, TRINIDAD, WEST INDIES.

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

INTRODCICTORY.

N PRESENTING a new edition of our General Cata-

iT & Es won Gs \\ logue, we wish to call attention to the variety and extent

SN) of our stock, as well as to its superior condition. We y have added to our collection very many new and valuable Yj plants of recent discovery and introduction (many raised in our

\ 7, own Nurseries, and now first offered for sale), as well as brought forward a number of beautiful species which, while

years ago found among the finest collections, have, through

neglect or perhaps extreme modern fashions, been partially

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

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

Our Hdvantages.

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

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

Our direct connections with the most prominent botanical and commercial establishments

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

plants at the most reasonable prices.

H Wisit Solicited.

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

Conditions Wnder Which We Conduct Our BHusiness.

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

2. All purchasers are requested, when ordering by mail or otherwise, to give their proper address, and directions where to and how they desire their orders shipped—whether by freight or express; if there 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.

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

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

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

NEW PLANTS OF MERIT.

Introduced to Commerce by Siebrecht & Wadley.

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

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

Abutilon, Souvenir de Bonn. (Andenken yon Bonn.)

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

Aglaonema costata.

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

New Hybrid Amaryllids. These new hybrid Amaryllises are the result of our own crosses from the well-known A. aulica, Gravesiana, Thomas Speed and Em- press of India. They are all excellent for forcing and winter flowering.

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

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

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

6 Sreprecut & Wap.ey’s CaTaALCGUE or

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

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

An exquisite new Fern, somewhat similar to A. Farleyense, but superior to it in so many ways that we predict sharp rivalry between the two. The fronds of A. C.-I imbricata are of good size and full and graceful in habit, the individual pinnz being more crested than those of A. Furleyense. The new Fern is much more easily propagated than the old favorite, because it bears spores, and also grows much faster. More dense and bushy; hardier, and does not need so high temperature ; the coming Fern for table decorations. $2.

Adiantum Siebrechtii.

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

Allamanda magnifica odorata.

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

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

Anthurium Siebrechtianum.

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

like crimson, giving it a decidedly rich and showy appearance. $2.50.

New, Rare and BeauriruL PLants. 7

New Hybrid Fern, Asplenendrium strictum.

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

Begonia metallica aurea variegata.

In this beautiful plant are combined richly colored foliage and handsome flowers. It isa sport from 2B. metallica, which it re- sembles in habit of growth and in the metal- lic greenish cast of the leaves, but the leaves of this new Begonia are beautifully marked and variegated with cream-white and rose- pink. The color combinations displayed in the plant are marvellously artistic and har- monious. The flowers are like those of B. metallica, and just as abundant. A rapid grower, and, like its parent, an excellent decorative plant. $1.50.

Croton, Mrs. H. F. Watson.

One of the finest large-leaved Crotons. In the young state the leaves are green, but as they mature the green, deepens and A NEW FERN, ASPLENENDRIUM STRICTUM. changes toa bright, bronzy crimson, striped» spotted and blotched with rich golden yellow and edged with salmon ; the midribs and veins are bright red. The plant is strong and vigorous in habit, growing rapidly into the symmetrical form so much admired for specimens. $2.50.

New Dwarf Dracznas.

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

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

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

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

8 SIEBRECHT & Wap.Ley’s CaraLoGuE or

New Broad-Leaved Dracznas.

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

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

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

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

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

ee ei eee 2] and regular in variegation and form of growth, the latter being

? : much like that of D. s/ricla grandis. Distinct and valuable; hybridized from D. terminalis alba and PD. Scotlii. $7.50.

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

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

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

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

Draczena Sanderiana.

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

A beautiful greenhouse shrub, with flowers unusually large for a Genista, and remarkably colored. The upper petal is clear golden yellow, while the lower ones are rich deep brownish scarlet, edged yellow. The flower might be described as asweet-pea of colors yet unattained in that popular family—golden yellow and scar- let; very showy. $2.

Tecoma (Bignonia) preecox grandiflora NEW HARDY CLIMBER,

A magnificent Japanese climber, with foliage much larger and fullerthan that of 7. ¢vandi- flora, producing at the end of every branch a raceme of large, brilliant, trumpet-shaped flowers of crimson-scarlet, lighted with orange. As many as 65 buds and flowers have been counted in a cluster. It thrives well and blooms profusely in any rich soil and is ofstrong and rapid growth, an excellent greenhouse climber, but thoroughly hardy when grown outdoors. Itcan also be grown as a pot-plant and trained to various forms. We now offer this superb Tecoma for the first time, and have a stock of well- grown plants. See illustration from nature, page 10. Thrifty young plants, $1 each; six plants for $5.

Kentia Mooreana.

This graceful new Palm resem- bles K. Forsteriana somewhat in habit of growth, but its arch- ing leaves spread more widely, and their stems are a dark pur- plish color; the pinnz, too, are of a tough and leathery texture, and the Palm is free and cleanin growth. $7.50 to $10, LYCHNIS FLOS CUCULI PLENISSIMA SEMPERFLORENS.

Lychnis flos cuculi plenissima semperflorens.

This is a new variety of Lychnis, having many excellent qualities. Dr. L. Wittmach, of Berlin, says of this new Lychnis: “It is a variety which defies all description as regards rich bloom and the beauty of the delicate rose-colored flowers.”” It has been shown and greatly admired at various European exhibitions. The plant has also proved to be an excellent winter bloomer ; plants with half-developed buds put into the house in late fall can be brought into bloom in four weeks, in a moderately warm house. The plant is perfectly hardy, grows very easily and rapidly, and comes in bloom when quite small, forming with its many stalks bushes twelve to eighteen inches high. The blossom resembles a beautiful feather ball of fresh rose color. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Phormium tenax atropurpureum variegatum.

A new and especially beautiful form of the New Zealand Flax. The plant is strong and graceful in growth—a veritable fountain of white, purple and rose color. As a center for vases or beds of low-growing tropical plants it will be most useful and available, $ro.

Particularly hand- some and showy, resembling 7: sp/en- dens in some respects, but its sword- like scarlet flower-scape is much larger and fuller than that of the type, and its leaves are alsomuch larger. Thrives well in conservatories, stove 6r palm house, and needs an abundance of water while growing. $2.50. STROBILANTHES DYERIANUM.

New Running Rose, Turner’s Crimson Rambler.

This new introduction from Japan is nearly an evergreen, retaining its dark green, glossy foliage very late. It iS of a free-growing and rambling habit. Its showy flowers are of brilliant carmine-red, passing to crimson, produced in large clusters. Was wintered out for two seasons in England, and is expected to prove hardy here. $1, $2 and $3 each-

New Roses in Sight.

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

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

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

Our New Pedigree Rose, ‘‘ Belle Siebrecht.” We will offer to the public in 1895 the new pedigree Rose, ‘‘ Belle Siebrecht,’’ the result of years of patient work by

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

OTHER New and Rare Pants of RECENT INTRODUCTION.

ERE are included many good, new plants of our own introduction, some promising and popular foster-children of other well-known firms, and some fine old plants quite as rare as the novelties, whose beauty and merit

have not yet been generally recognized. There is presented a brilliant array

of decorative plants for both

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

the new Orchids offered here we ask especial attention.

Amomum vittatum.

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

Anthurium Chantrieri.

An odd and beautiful species, with a spathe of ivory white, erect, oblong, acuminate; spadix dark violet ; leaves triangular, with widely spreading basal lobes, dark, shin- ing green; a vigorous hybrid. §5 to $7.50.

J& For other Anthuriums, see Novelties and General Collection,

Aphelandras.

APHELANDRA chrysops. One of the handsomest specits yet introduced, producing a grand golden inflo- rescence a foot in length, composed of four rows of com- pound, ovate, pointed bracts, proceeding from which are flowers of the same bright yellow color. To add to its beauty, this plant has also strikingly variegated leaves, thus combining two attractive qualities, and rendering it one of the most desirable of ornamental plants. It has been imported. from Brazil. $1.50 to $3. (See cut, page 14.)

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

Ardisia crispa.

A pretty greenhouse or conservatory plant, of upright and symmetrical growth, with glossy foliage, purplish un- derneath, and crimped along the edges. It bears an abundance of red berries similar to those of A. crenulata, but much larger, Will prove a valuable decorative plant. 50 cts. to $1.

New Aristolochias.

ARISTOLOCHIA cymbifera. The flowers of all the Aristolochias are curious and comical freaks of nature, quite handsome in their way, and strangely colored.

Cymbifera’s flowers are eight or more inches long, and of most peculiar shape; the ground color is creamy white, marked and blotched with blackish raaroon, A strong-growing summer-climber, flowering profusely, and attaining a height of 10 or 15 feet in one season. 50 cts. each, three plants for $r.

A. ridicula. A very remarkable and most interesting new species, introduced from Brazil. The tube of the flower is from 3% to 4% inches long, abruptly contracted and then bent upon itself below the middle, the basal part being much inflated, the upper portion somewhat conical, widening toward the mouth, which is prolonged into two ascending and backwardly directed lobes, di- verging from each other at an obtuse angle. The entire limb is of a tawny color, closely covered with dark pur- ple reticulations on a cream-colored ground ; the lobes are dark, with light reticulations. The bright green leaves are orbicular reniform, the entire plant, stems, leaves and flowers, being covered with hair. $2.50 to $4. (See cut, page 15.)

Je For other Aristolochias, see Stove and Hothouse

Plants.

Lemoine’s New Hybrid Begonias. Especially Adapted for Bedding.

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

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

Other New Begonias.

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

Billbergia nutans.

One of the finest winter-flowering air-plants for window or conservatory. The rich green leaves are in character like those of the Pineapple, and the flower-bracts are large and rosy. The bloom-spikes are long and many- flowered, the sepals and petals being a rare combination

“of reddish and yellowish green, with margins of blue. The plant is free-growing, and may be suspended in a pot or basket, $2. See illustration in Stove and Greenhouse Plants.

Bougainvillea refulgens.

A strikingly handsome new plant from Brazil, with rich, dark green foliage and long pendulous racemes of flowers, surrounded by bracts of brilliant purplish mauve. Like most of its allies, it is of strong growth and climbing habit, thriving best in a rich, sandy soil, and luxuriating in the rose house fully exposed to the sun, or in a similar tem- perature. This species blooms more freely than the beau- ful B. spectabilis, and is very valuable for cut-flowers, as its sprays resemble those of choice orchids, and last many weeks in perfection. $5.

Novelties in Clematis.

C. Brevicordata. This new Clematis is a native of Japan. It grows very rapidly, quickly covering a large space with its handsome, dark green foliage. The pure white flowers are of medium size, delightfully fragrant, and borne in such profusion that the whole plant seems a drift of white. In general character this species is somewhat like C. paniculata, but has the advantage of flowering fully a month earlier, and consequently is not so liable to be injured by early frosts. From early August until autumn it is covered with bloom. $1.

©. paniculata. Another new and especially valuable Japanese Clematis, that has been well tested around Newport and other localities, and been found so beautiful, free-flowering and hardy that a great demand for it has arisen. The foliage is broad and luxuriant, a deep, clear green; the flowers are pure or cream-white, star-shaped, about an inch in diameter, and borne in clusters on stiff stems from four to six inches long in the axil of nearly every leaf. Their fragrance is subtle and remarkable, distinctly pleasing, and noticeable at quite a distance fromthe plant. Its blossoming-time fills a gap where other climbers are flowerless; from mid- August till late September it is a cool, fragrant bank of white. The plant grows so rapidly that in a short time it converts trellises, porches, or the sides of buildings to. living walls of green. (See cut on page 19, showing it on our office.) 25 cts, 50 cts. and $1.

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

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

Lilium Wallichianum superbum.

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

Nephthytis picturata.

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

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

Nidularium striatum.

This striking and ornamental bromeliaceous plant has been imported from Brazil. It has bright green leaves from eight to twelve inches long, most effectively striped or striated with a central white variegation, deepening off to creamy yellow, rendering it a charming and attractive decorative plant. The margins of the leaves are freely furnished with small spinose teeth. $7.50 to $15.

much more popular rates. In coloring the flowers of this Cattleya are so different from all others of the genus that it attracts much attention whenever and wherever exhibited. The sepals and petals are bright nankeen- yellow, while the entire lip—broad, spreading and frilled on the margin—is intense rich purple, shaded with violet-rose and beautifully streaked with lines of gold, In general appearance the flower reminds one of C. aurea, and, like it, is very fragrant. The plant grows best in baskets suspended near the glass in an inter- mediate temperature ; blooms in autumn. $5 upwards. C. labiata autumnalis. Although not entirely new, this grand Cattleya will be received with all the eclat due a brilliant novelty, since it has only recently been rediscovered. It was first found by a collector in South America, years ago, but the man died without inform- ing anyone as to the locality in which it grew, and it be- came very scarce. Other collectors have long sought for it in vain at great expense “and risk of life, but did not succeed in finding it until a short time ago. In habit of growth, character and color of flowers it re- sembles C /labiala Warneri perhaps more than any other variety. The value of this Orchid is greatly in- creased by the fact that its beautiful flowers are borne in autumn when few other Orchids are in bloom. It grows thriftily, requiring about the same treatment as C. Triane and other familiar varieties. $5 and upward.

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

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

New Hybrid Streptocarpus.

These new hybrids are remarkable for their abundance of bloom and the continuous succession in which the flowers are produced for about four months in the early autumn, and also for the long time the individual flowers last in perfection. The plant is a greenhouse perennial, of dwarf, neat habit, growing about 9 inches high, with rather long, narrow, arched and recurved stemless leaves ; whilst the flowers, which are very graceful in form, are trumpet-shaped, and measure about 1% inches in length. The variation of colors in these new hybrids is very strik- ing, scarcely two plants being exactly the same, and the colors range from pure white, through pale lavender, lay- ender-blire, lilac-blue, light mauve, purple, violet, bright rose, and red to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate tints ; and in all the flowers the throat and three lower seg- ments are more or less marked or splashed with long blotches or spots of various shades of purple, generally shaded and relieved with white, which greatly enhances the effect, and affords a pleasing contrast of color.50 ce11ts.

Symplocos cratzgoides. (Jackson Dawson.)

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

PALMS.

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

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

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

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

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

ORCHIDS.

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

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

WHAT IS AN ORCHID?

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

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

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

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

Hothouse or East Indian Orchids, marked / in this catalogue, include many magnificent species. They are usually grown in a stove-plant house, or in any house having a temperature of from 60 to 7o degrees, and a moist

_ atmosphere,

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

CALANTHE. A very distinct genus. The several

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

4 C. oculata gigantea. This very rare and truly hand- some Calanthe is certainly the most beautiful and showy of the genus, It has been commonly named the ‘‘ Christ Orchid,’’ as the pure white, five-petaled flower, with the rich blood-red blotch in the center, very correctly represents the wounded hand of the Saviour on the cross. $5 and upward.

CATTLEYA. The species Vai this popular genus rank among our finest Orchids; they are general favorites, and we are glad to find that they are beginning to be extensively cultivated in this country. The pseudo- bulbs are, in many cases, enlongated and thickened, and the dark, massive, evergreen foliage renders the plants peculiarly attractive. The flowers are all large and elegant, and can scarcely be surpassed for their sparkling richness and depth of color, the most fre- quent tints of which are violet, rose, crimson, ma- genta, white, yellow, mauve and purple, with their intermediate shades. The flower-scape, which is en- closed in a sheath, issues from the top of the stem, and a single spike sometimes contains as many as from ten to twenty flowers. The plants are easily grown in baskets or pots, with a compost of fibrous peat and moss, good drainage and a liberal supply of moisture when growing; they should always be shaded from the direct rays of the sun, (See view of one of our Cattleya houses, page 32.)

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

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

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

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

noble and decorative aspect, with closely set tufts of long and somewhat narrow leaves; most of them are large and vigorous plants, with short pseudo-bulbs, from which the leaves and flowers proceed. The flow- ers are large, beautiful and very attractive, the racemes being often three feet long and remaining perfect for many weeks. Cymbidjums require plenty of pot | room for their many roots; we grow them most suc- |

cessfully in rough peat and moss, with good drainage.

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

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

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

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

See illustration, which shows well the graceful char-

acter of the sprays.

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

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

SACCOLABIUM. Epiphytal stove Orchids of very

ornamental habit, growing erect, with leaves opposite, and long, fleshy roots which preceed from the axils of the lower leaves. The flowers, which are produced on long, densely set, pendulous racemes, are of various beautiful colors; most of them are deliciously sweet- scented in addition, and remain a long time in per- fection. They require the same treatment as the Vandas and Aérides, and need all the light it is pos- sible to give them.

THUNIA. Deciduous Asiatic Orchids, which need a decided period of rest. They should be grown in pots filled with equal parts of peat and moss, and have plenty of water while growing. The flowers, which appear upon long stalks, are much like those of the Phajus, but of much deeper colors, and therefore more brilliant and showy.

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

Collections of Orchids.

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

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

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

Orchid Miscellany.

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

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

The Hydrangeas are indispensable for decorative purposes because of their large, showy terminal heads of flowers, which range in color from pure white through many delicate tints into deep blue andcrimson. The flower panicles often remain in full beauty for months, and the small florets of which they are composed can be used to much advantage in all floral work.

NEPENTHES. This curious and interesting class of plants thrives best in a warm, moist atmosphere, and all the forms are usually suspended from the roof in baskets. Complete shade and a compost of two parts peat with one of sphagnum moss, plenty of drainage and an abundant supply of water, will grow them to perfection. They should always be thoroughly shad- ed. Our collection of these highly ornamental plants is unequaled in America, many new and beautiful varieties obtained by hybridizatien, which are not to be found elsewhere, being included. The large size of their interesting pitchers, the brilliant coloring and variety of form, make them desirable for any collec- tion of plants.

BuLBs AND TUBERS FOR STOVE AND GREENHOUSE CULTURE.

ANY 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.

SuccULENT PLANTs.

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

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

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

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

Select Collections of Cactuses.

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

CACTUS USED FOR CARPET BEDDING.

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

JE We will select twelve distinct varieties, including the best species, for $3, $5 and $ro, according to size and varieties. To those desiring to form collections of greater extent, we will be pleased to supply lists of the best species, with prices. Cactuses for bedding will be supplied, also, at very moderate prices, by the dozen or hundred.

The appreciation of Ferns has increased vastly of late years, and they are now extensively used for all decorative purposes, and in all elegant floral work. Our extensive and carefully grown stock affords ample opportunity for

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

New and really valuable species

Hardy Azaleas.

The hardy species of Azalea are quite as handsome in their way as the greenhouse varieties. and summer they are gay masses of bright bloom. We offer only the best and most distinct sorts.

In early sprin& They are trained

into shapely form, and all are well-rooted. The native as well as the foreign varieties are quite handsome, and, being naturally adapted to our soil and climate, thrive with very little care.

The shrubs grow from 3 to 4 feet high, blooming throughout May and June. Their rich and handsome flowers range through nearly all colors, and are delightfully fragrant. They are hardy with slight protection. 50 cts. to $1.

A. viscosa. Pure white, sweet-scented flowers, borne profusely trusses of medium size. A dwarf-growing native shrub, that thrives best in somewhat damp and shaded sitgations. The flowers and leaves ap- pear together ; the latter have a silvery tint beneath,

Price, except where noted, 25 to 50 cents each; special dozen and hundred rates.

RHHODODENDRONS.

The Rhododendrons, both tender and hardy, are magnificent shrubs, unsurpassed for all sorts of indoor and

outdoor decoration. Properly planted and cared for,their beauty increases with every year.

For outdoor planting we

offer only perfectly hardy varieties, knowing that only such will prove satisfactory. The splendid effects that they give when planted in masses may be seen in many public and private pleasure grounds and gardens, for which we have

Hardy Rhododendrons.

These, aside from Conifer, are the most important evergreens in cultivation. The foliage is handsome all the year, but the superb flower cones are the chief charm of the family. We keep a fine assortment of the best varieties of the hybrids of R. Catawbiense and R. maximum, all of which constitute our best sorts, thoroughly hardy for outdoor planting. Rhododendrons grow well in any good loamy soil moderately enriched with vegetable mold. A mulch over their roots in summer and a slight protection in winter greatly benefit them. Cut off all dead flowers and

seed pods.

ROSES.

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

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

HYBRID PERPETUAL OR REMONTANT ROSES.

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

which belongs exclusively to us.

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

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

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

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

We, therefore, highly commend these

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

they are not consfant bloomers, with a few exceptions.

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

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

TEA AND HYBRID TEA ROSES.

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

HIS large class contains the favorites which give us flowers every day in the year. They are not hardy, but can easily be wintered over with protection ; and even if frozen to the ground, will often send up shoots from the

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

Formerly no réally red roses were found in this

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

out or forcing.

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

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

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

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

J&S* SELECTIONS OF RosEs.—We will be happy to make selections of suitable varieties for any specified purpose either for forcing, bedding, planting out, etc. A long experience gives us that invaluable knowledge necessary to the proper selection of varieties.

STANDARD OR TREE ROSES.

Yhese Roses, as arule, do not succeed so well in America as in Europe, where no well-appointed garden is com- plete without a collection of them. But years of experience have shown us that if treated in the manner prescribed 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 sundown. 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 any thing that will shade them from the sun.

It is better to plant Standard Roses in a regular Rose bed or border, where the ground is kept constantly tilled and clean, and where suckers may be readily detected. Dwarf Roses can then be planted between and beneath the Standards, giving splendid effects. Once well established, they must be well fed both with bone-dust and stable- manure. The manure should be spread over the beds in autumn, just before the Rose Trees are bent over for winter protection, as it helps to protect the roots in winter. Thus treated, Standard Roses succeed admirably and grow into beautiful forms, giving much pleasure to their owners.

We keep in stock a choice selection of the best varieties only, all of which are two and three years old, from bud or graft. Trees of best quality, $3 each, $30 per dozen

In a modest way, the hardy Water Lilies can be enjoyed growing in an ordinary tub, with a minimum of attention ; or a brick tank of any desired dimensions,

in which all the fine acquatics will flourish, can be readily constructed and lined with cement.

If contiguous to a green-

house, so that a section of the tank can be warmed by a hot-water or steam pipe, the great Victoria regia can be

flowered.

In any case the tub or tank must be so constructed as to afford several depths of water for the plants—some

needing shallow and others deeper water. We will construct and arrange aquatic tanks anywhere desired.

OUTDOOR AQUATIC TANKS.

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

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

BEDDING PLANTS.

Including Summer-Flowering Bulbs and Tubers.

I WOULD be useless to offer for summer bedding plants-;which cannot endure by turns fierce heat and drouth and

deluges of rain.

bright, despite all such hardships; and, moreover, must content themselves with but a moderate amount of care. We offer only the brightest and sturdiest of the class, including the best Summer Blooming Bulbs and Tubers,

Foliage and Flowering Plants.

Prices range from $1 to $3 per dozen, and from $6 to $20 per hundred.

ACHYRANTHES. We offer all the best varieties of this section of bright-leaved bedders at $1 per dozen, $6 per hundred.

their stately growth and broad, massive leaves, relieved by rich crimson, scarlet, orange or yellow flowers.

Sreprecut & WapLey’s CATALOGUE OF

Harpy CLIMBING VINES.

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

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

beautiful and well-prized for such work.

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

AKEBIA quinata. A fine Japanese climber, with dis- tinct foliage and odd, brownish purple flowers; very fragrant. 25 cents.

AMPELOPSIS. A genus of splendid hardy climbing plants. They are all of superior value, having brilliant autumn leaves and pretty clusters of berries; of rapid growth and fine habit, requiring no support.

A. quinquefolia. The Virginia Creeper. A very vigor- ous and rapid-growing climber, with distinct, five- parted, bright, glossy green foliage. Its autumnal foliage tints are very rich, and the clusters of dark

constantly growing in esteem. The leaves are dark, rich green, very glossy, and disposed on established plants in odd, overlapping regu- larity. In the fall they assume tints of brilliancy, varying from light scarlet to deepest crimson. When fairly established, the vine grows rapidly, and its rootlets and tendrils fasten it firmly to any surface, clinging even to stone or brick

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

A.Sipho. Known as ‘“‘ Dutchman’s Pipe.’’ Bears odd, yellowish brown flowers in the shape of a pipe; the leaves are quite large go 50 to $1 00

A.tomentosa. Hardy; purple flowers 25to 50

BIGNONIA. All the Bignonias have an air of tropical richness about them that quickly attracts the eye. Their flowers are large, waxen and trumpet-shaped, and always brightly colored; the leaves are bright green and glossy. The stem grows rapidly, and ina few years becomes large and woody, carrying its wealth of leaves and flowers, in stately fashion, over high trellises, porches or summer houses.

vines, bearing large, orange-scarlet flowers in rich

Harpy ORcHIpDs.

HE beauty of our North American species of Orchids is not fully appreciated. A number of them are quite as handsome as the majority of species cultivated in greenhouses, and the flowers are produced as freely. The following list contains the best and showiest kinds of the natives, including only the varieties which are

worth growing for their intrinsic beauty and worth

We can supply many other species to those who wish larger or

different collections for any purpose; there are a great number of varieties mainly interesting to the botanist or col-

lector, but not possessing any special beauty or merit to bring them into general esteem and cultivation.

For most

hardy Orchids a shady position and a moist soil, containing some leaf-mold or peat, are to be preferred ; they will do nicely in a shady border where many other plants would fail to grow.

reaks , nothing can equal the evergreens of quick growth. In addition to the Conifers, there are in this section many

Harpy FLowerinc Butss AND TUBERS.

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

clumps grow in size. So large, varied and adaptable is this class of plants that their flowers brighten every season of the year—Crocus, Snowdrop, and a train of magnificent Dutch Bulbs usher in the early spring, other genera and species equally as handsome flower through summer and autumn, and potted Dutch bulbs bloom readily in winter, Immensely popular as these bulbs and tubers are, many more of them would be planted if planting and flowering time came in the same season. The spring and summer display of their brilliant blossoms at once causes a great demand for the roots, for which the proper planting time is in autumn. We offer a select list of all the best Hardy Flowering

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

SIEBRECHT & WADLEY’S PATENT GREENHOUSE SHADING.

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

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

It can rolled up and down at will, which is a great advantage, especially when the short, dark days come and only a little shading isneeded. Estimates given on application.

~' LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.

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

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

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

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

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

PARTIAL VIEW OF WEDDING DECORATION BY US IN A PARLOR IN THE MADRID, NEW YORK CITY,

A special feature of our Dec ive Department is the artistic embellishment of parlors and churches for weddings or other social events of like character. With unequalled resources and long experience, we can assure satisfactory results,

OUT-OF-TOWN DEPARTMENT.

We make a specialty of decorations out of the city. We have specially trained and experienced men, who are artists in this line, and who are constantly getting up 1 lesigns and arrangements for decorations. Careful attention is always given to orders for out-of-town work, and satisfactory results can be assured,

Cut-FLOWER and Decorative . . DEPARTMENT . .

409 Fiery Avenue, New Yorx City.

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

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

FLOWERS DELIVERED BY TELEGRAPH TO ANY PART OF THE WORLD.

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

OUR PLANT-FURNISHING DEPARTMENT.

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

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

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

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