Equal parts manure, loam and sand, with a little peat, form best mixture. Plants must be kept in a growing temperature of sixty degrees. Liberal supplies of manure wafer are of great benefit. Boitom heat is very desirable for these plants when growing in the greenhouse. : 3 e : : : 5 £ 5 HERE has been nothing offered in recent years that possesses such real and intrinsic value and merit, and that appeals to so many buyers as the new Cannas which we have the pleasure of offering to our customers this season, French Seedling Cannas have attracted considerable attention from some years; the varieties which we now have the pleasure of offering are far supe- rior to any that have been offered in this line, and any ideas based on purchases of the so-called “French Cannas” would be misleading. They are really the finest novelties that have been offered } years; they are not only the very finest plants for bedding, and will be in great demand by those who desire something choice and rare to vary the monotony of out-door gardening, but they also ake elegant plants for the conservatory, both Summer and Winter; in fact, one of the finest plants '.. conservatory decoration there is to-day. Every shoot blooms, :nd as often as a truss of bloom ‘4s past its prime another shoot pushes out beyond it, and each stem blooms three, four and five times in succession; as the plants throw up numbers of shoots, they are a mass of gorgeous bloom con- stantly. We have never offered a plant that has given such unqualified satisfaction, and for which there has been such a demand as there has been for these new Cannas during the time we have had them, and those who do not secure a stock of these valuable plants immediately will have cause to regret it. Heretofore we preferred to wait before investing in French Cannas until something was produced of intrinsic merit, pronounced enough in character to makeit really valuable. Having satisfied ourselves of the value of these novelties beyond all question, we have invested in them very heavily, and offer the following eight kinds as the very best selected from over two hundred varieties.

No. 7 in Colored Plate, Strong grower leaves lanceolate, green, strong shaded with purple, Se oe numerous, flowers large an As a pot plant for blooming both Summer and Winter, this Canna is of immense importance. It has already become recognized as the most valuable and important flowering plant among those who know it. It is utterly impossible to have a plant which is more easily grown or more effective in bloom, The enormous panicles of flowers which are borne continually even on plant only a foot or two in height and in small pots is, indeed, marvelous, and the intense color of the blossoms makes such plants only a foot or twoin height and in small pots is, in- deed, marvelous, and the intense color of the blossams makes such plants objects of the most effective beauty.

If you will turn to the front page of cover of this cata- logue you will see the Rose in color, shape and outline as nearly reproduced as the artist can accomplish this, but while the work is well executed it, to our minds, does not nearly convey an idea of the Rose’s true beauty. When the artist attempts to paint a Rose he finds the same difficulty that is encountered in the effort to transfer the beau- ties of a sunset to canvas. While they can make a very fine imitation, still it lacks the rich, soft, blend- ing effect that one seesin the bright coloring and lining of the floating clouds, and just so it is in ihe attempt to paint this Rose. While an idea can be conveyed of the Rose, still it lacks in bringing out the beautiful blending effect of subdued colorsin its daintily-arranged pet- als. GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE is a true ever-bloom- ing Rose, and belongs to GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE. Rose is in the elegant shape and color of its buds and bloom. There is no other Rose like it in either respect, The budsare borne on long stems, and are long and somewhat more open at the end of the bud than is seen in the other varieties—the arrange- ment of the petals inter- lacing so nicely as to give the bud a charming light fluffy effect. The open flowers of this Rose .are” perfectly double to thé cen- ter. It is extremely beau- tiful, both in bud and in the open flower. The coloring in this wonderful Rose is very difficultto describe. It is ashade of yellow hither- to unknown in this flower, and is what is termed a solid color, while the cen- ter of the flower may bea shade deeper than the out- er petals, still it is hardly perceptible. Asnearaswe can name the coloritissoft Nasturtium yellow, or cop- pery bronze. Taken alto- gether itis the most won- derful Rose in every par- ticular of the century.

This new,/variety retains all the good qualities of the parent, besides adding charms not possessed by the sweet Catherine. All know that Catherine Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose; More plants of it are cultivated by the amateur, and more cutbloom issold by the flow- er dealer of it than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of exquisite shape and contour, so solic and firm, and the stems are so long and stiff that no other Rose will compare with it in. keeping qualities after being cut. It has, though, with all these good qualities, a serious defect, namely, “off color.” This is noticeable more in dark, cloudy weather, but is true of the Rose atalltimes. Now, this is why the Bridesmaid will supersede the Mermet. It is about two shadés deeper in color—just enough to make it bright; and it is the same color all the time under every condition of weather and surroundings.

It produces mag- nificent buds, equal to Marechal Neilincolorandsize. Elegant, both for house and garden culture. GERANIUM, \ SOUVENIR DE MIRANDE* — The greatest novelty in new Geraniums that has appeared for a sueiber of years is undoubtedly Souvenir de Mirande. Itis entirely distinct trom any other variety known, and is quite dif- ferent from the usual marked varieties that have from time to time made their appearance. It hus round florets, upper petals cream-white, with a distinct rosv-pink bord r, lower petals sal- mon-rose, streaked with pure lilac. A most novel color. Itis extremely free-floweriny, and produces fine trussesof its mag- nificent blooms. Mr. John Thorpe says it has made a leap of a decade in its advent. NEW GERANIUM, BRUANT. Semi-double. This magnificent Geranium is the product o Monsieur Bruanti,of Poitiers, and is the beginning of a new and distinct habited section inthe Zonal Geraniums. Itis very difficult to describe the difference between this type and the or- dinary Zonal Geranium, but the characteristics of this variety are observed at a glance, when placed beside older varieties of the same family. The leatage isround and nicely zoned, having greater texture and substance than even the most vigorous of the old type. Color of the flower a hght vermilion red, of a mos pleasing shade. The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape, contour and make-up, trusses exceptionally Jarge, and borne in immense spherical balJS,often measuring Cight inches in diame- ter. It does finely im the open ground, and is perfectly reliable as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit. It makes acom- pact, dense growth, and has all the qualities that go to make the perfect bedder that it is. Fine also in pots. The very finest scarlet bedder extant. NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, ‘ GOLDEN WEDDING. This is the grand golden-yellow variéty shown in the co:ored plate. Nothing can exceed the riehness ofits color, it is un- rivaled in this respect. It is a remarkably vigorous grower, and has guch strength of stem that it carrieSits great globular flow- ers cyect, giving it a bold, majestic appearanee. The form of Goldeh Wedding is uniques the outer petals droop downward in picturekque regularitv.the center of the’fiower is built high. with broad fetals irregularly overlaid,so that although the flowers are so large they are‘not heavy, solid-loéking like many others.

This valuable new Chrysanthemum was exhibittd at the New York and Philadelpitia shows, attracting much attention as one of the very best incurved varieties, and was awarded a medal of excellence at the American Institute Fair.

We say friends, for such you are indeed, as many of you have been buying of us and writing us letters of encourage- ment and praise of the very friendliest nature ever since we began business. We are always glad to hear from you, more especially when you succeed well with your flow- ers, but we want to hear of the failures as well, as we may be of assistance to you in helping you to a more successful culture in your floral treasures. If there have been any errors in our filling your orders, we want to know the same, so we can make them good to you. When you order, mention what was not right, and we will endeavor to fully satisfy you. We will do this cheerfully, as we know that in our large business 71\9 mistakes will sometimes occur. We guarantee safe arrival of plants, and also that they are true toname. Our sales last Spring far surpassed our most sanguine expec- tations. Indeed, the orders poured in so fast that we were unable to ship as promptly as we should have done. Especially was this so in the months of Apriland May. Our mails brought us on many days from two to three thousand orders. We increased our force until we had all the help we could work, and we worked early and late, but still we could not keep up with our orders, This naturally caused some un- easiness among those whose orders were delayed in getting them started. We have this year enlarged our place over one-third in glass area, besides building a large addition to our packing houses. We have also largely increased our force of experienced workmen, and we feel sure we can now handle all the business that comes to us, promptly, no matter how large. Rose Specialists.__—__"_) This is the age of specialists, not only in our line of business, but in others as well. Progress is so rapid, and the demand for the very best of everything so universal, that with the quick flight of time man finds himself powerless to keep up with the steady tramp of the procession unless he devotes his whole time and talents to the excellence of some one thing, We have recognized this from our starting into business, and we have made the Rose our specialty, until to-day WE LEAD THE WORLD IN ROSES. We employ Rose specialists, having the very best rosarians that money will procure, who devote their undivided attention to the Rose. Our agents in Europe are instructed to buy everything good that is offered there. These we thoroughly test, and inthis way we can offer in our Catalogue the best the world produces, giving us decided advantages over firms who do not so devote their attention. To give you some idea of the extent of our Rose business we will say that we have in stock now growing for this Spring’s sales oyer one and a half millions of young Rose plants. These require when placed in two and a half inch pots, fifty greenhouses, each twenty feet wide by one hundred feet in length; or in other words, a building twenty feet wide almost one mile in length. These Roses we distribute to every country in the world, shipping as many as ten thousand Rose plants by mail in one order. How did we get this wonderful traffic in Roses? Was it by chance or luek, think you? Nota bit of it. We have this trade because we merit it by the excellence of the Rose plants we furnish. When our patrons receive their Roses they are so delighted that they tell all their neighbors how nicely they came, and when they bloom they tell them again of their beauty and fragrance, and it has kept us hustling to keep up with the demand. If you have never tried our Roses do so this year and be pleased.

Raised by Mr- John Burton, of Chestnut Hill, one of the most successful Rose growers in this coun- try; it has created a sensation wherever shown, and has carried first honors at the recent exhibitions in’ New York, Phila- delphia, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, and elsewhere throughont the United States. Both the flower and the foliage are en- tirely distinct from/“ American Beauty.”’ The color of the flower is a deep, clear pink,almost red, without the slightesttinge HT hh of blue, even after being cut for a few days. In the bud stage the color of the flower is deeper, but as it expands the pink shade becomes pure and distinct, making it a (fit companion for the “ Beauty,” to which beautiful variety it is an auxiliary or companion, and not a com- petitor. The delightful tragrance of the “Beauty,” the sweetest of any Rose known, is also possessed by the ‘‘ Belle”? in an equal degree. The growth of the “Belle” is not quite so strong as the ‘Beauty,” but the bloom is even freer. The foliage is quite distinct—a fine, deep green. Mr Burton does not claim for the “ Belle»? that she will supersede “Beauty.” On the contrary, he wishes it distinctly understood that the ‘* Belle” is put on the market as a companion and not as a rival of “ Beauty.” There are men eminent in AMERICAN BEAuTY- Champion City Greenhouses, Springfield, Ofvo. nl (( (a NING ff Oo: ((( mt x ii i: WK AX C yD 11 (( My, Y 7) SS Yy SS yy NK I\NS y) N ji \V& SS 7 G ‘ ISS CuimBinGe LA FRANCE. fA The Greatest EB Rose Novelty 4 + fs Nery «> CLIMBING LA FRANCE: We give the introducer’s description: ‘It is doubtful if, since ‘the introduction of ‘Gen. Jacqueminot’ and ‘ La France,’ there has been offered such a sterling novelty in Roses as the Climbing La France. The two varieties memtioned are conceded to be without peers in their class, but the Climbing La France towers so ‘far above all climbing Roses for the open ground that comparison is out of the question. WHithert» the hardy climbing Roses have been almost totally devoid of perfume, and none of them have that form and substance deemed requisite in a high-class Rose, With the advent of Climbing La France, these objections vanish, for it excels even its parent (La France) in size and quality of flower, it retains the charming peach-pink color and the exquisite fragrance which have made ‘ La France’ the favor- ite it iss This peerless acquisition had its origin as a ‘sport? from ‘La France’ and has Ween under trial at our grounds for the past four years, so that its character isundoubtedly fixed As an evidence of its robust habit we cite the fact that small plants set out June 15th, 1892, had attained a growth of fifteen feet by October 15th, a growth unsurpassed by any climbing Rose on our grounds, The Climbing La France is equally as hardy as its parent and so may be safely planted in the open ground even in our northern latitudes. We feel a pardonable pride in being able to offer in this our Columbian year an American Rose which is worthy of a place in every American garden.” We endorse the above description and also add that this is a true, ever-blooming, hardy, climbing Rose which will make it eqnay valuable for the North and the South.

EW Roses have as firm a hold in pop- F ular favor and are so highly prized by the professional and amateur Rose grower alike asthe Perle des Jardins, It is not only admirably adapted for forcing, but thrives well in the open air, blooming freely in eithercase. Its large, full, well- formed, golden-yellow flowers, borne on stiff stems, make this variety especially de- sirable for bouquets and artistic floral deco- rations, while the dark and glaucous foii- age of the plant furnishes an excelientset- ting for the fragrant, delicate-hued blos- soms. It will no doubt be as much a surprise to our readers as it has been to us to learn that this stately Rose hasrecently evolved itself into a formy which, while retaining the excellent qualities of its progenitors, has assumed a climbing habit. On the original plamt the lateral growth is eighteen feet in each direction from the stem, and the plant has carried at one NEW EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, Plant and Flower of Co., Florists and Seedsmen, time over one thousand buds and flowers. The climbing habit of this sort was so firm— ly fixed from the start that not one of alk the cuttings taken from it has reverted te the original type, and if there is any per— ceptible difference between the two itis only that the Climbing Perie is even more vig— orous and floriterous than the bush form. Climbing Perle will supercede Marechal Neil, as the bud and flower are as large and the color as deep a golden-yellow as that variety, while it is as vigorous a climber, and will produce one hundred flowers to Neil’s one. It is hardy in the South. A most remarkable Rose, and without doubt the best yellow Rose ever seen. Price, 25 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 60 cents each.

Peter Henderson & Co., the in- troducers of this variety, say: “This splendid pink, hardy Rose was purchased from a Mr. Klein- haus two years ago, and placed on trial in our grounds. We were at once impressed by its remarkably healthy, vigorous growth and its wonderful blooming qualities, sur- passing all other true Hybrid Per- petuals in this respect, and fully the equal of the best among them in point of size, fragrance and form. For years it had been grown as a Winter-flowering variety by the gentleman fr m whom we purchased it, and some idea of its enormously productive quali- ties can be obtained from the fact that he had cut as many as twelve hundred flowers from a single plant, a record seldom equaled, and never surpassed by any other variety. We have thoroughly tested it, and can recommend jit as being entirely hardy. Itis of such vigorous growth that if planted close to a wall or fence it may be trained like aclimbing Rose.

HIS famous old Rose was newly introduced to the public recently. The introducer gives the foilowing interesting account of its origin and history. He says: “Itis an his- toric fact that one hundred years ago George Washington, the greatest and most honored American that ever lived, raised in his garden at Mt. Vernon a seedling Rose, which proved to be a hardy perpetual blooming climber, producing large. double, snow-white blossoms in great profusion from June until frost In this lovely Rose our first President took special delight, and named it after his mother, Mary Washington. The original bush can yet be seen growing in the grounds where its world-famed master planted it in his garden at Mt. Vernon. itisastranve thing that this most v2luable of all Roses has stood a hundred years without ever being propagated or finding its way to the public, yet it is a fact that we are the first to offer as new. the old- est American Rose, the first and finest of its class,and raised and named by him ‘who was first in peace, first in war, and firsti the hearts of hiscountrymen.” We may well plant andcle the Rose which our great Washington left us,as the trucst and best emblem of our remembrance and appreciation of his grcat- ness. We hope in time to see it trailing over the door or gate— way of every home in the land. Aside from the fact that this Rose was raised and named by George Washington, it is one of the most valuable sorts that has been introduced for many years. A hardy perpetual-blooming climber has long been needed. Its flowers are m dium size, pure white, perfectly double to the cen- ter, sweet,and borne in endless numbers all Summer. Itisa vigorous and rapid grower, and must at once become a general favorite. It makes a great profusiea of fine buds, whic! borne on long stems and usually in large clusters. One p Mary Washington will produce more flowers and bud dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged with th fashioned musky flavor so much admired in olden times. One of our customers writes that she counted on one branch the past Fall sixty-three beautiful Roses and buds at one time. Our stock is propagated from cuttings which came from the on ] bush at Mt. Vernon on the Potomac.” Our offer here of fine, strong plants will therefore be appreciated by thqusands in all parts of the country who would like some reminder ‘er souvenir of that historic spot.

Itis a strong, vigorous grower, making a handsome, graceful bush, with large, thick deep rreen leaves. ‘The flowers are large, beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full, and borne in wonderful profusion all through the growing sea- | son.

The flowers are borne nearly Ppp he on long, straight stems, and are of excellent substance, having thick, leathery petals, holdiny their form and colora long time. The color is perhaps its most remarkable feature, Itis a deep, brilliant crim- son, o-e of the darkest, if not the very darkest, and richest col- ored Tea Roses in existence, and we have no hesitancy is assert- ing our belief that it is the finest crimson Tea Rose now known.

AF AFA AAPA APA Z HIS Royal Flower, this wonderful blossom, the darling of Winter, possesses a charm so peculiarly its own that Flora has dignified its reign by giving it a sceptre it wields with undisputed supremacy over the waning season of the year. Other seasons bring a succession of buds and blossoms, not so the Chrysanthemum. It will not admit the claims of a rival, for it boasts of novelties of form and color that would alone entitle it to queenit alone in the garden. Hasit not taken a hundred years of experimental cultivation to bring it to its present triumphal perfection? Why, if it is only given space enough could it not form a complete parterre of itself? Its range of hues knows no limit, while the multitude of forms is so astonishing they furnish a continual source of delight, rewarding ingenuity and patience in their cultivation as no other flowerscan do, As to coloring, they positively revel in all shades, pink, crimson, chestnut, orange, lilac, carmine, amber, violet, pearl, magenta, ruby, cinnamon, white, silvery-white, cream-white, ivory-white, snow-white. No wonder then they so justly claim such a puzzling variety of charms. Another triumph achieved by this glorious flower isin the multitude and variety of forms, so fantastic and yet so graceful and as exact in their arrangement of the petals as the waxen-shaped cones of the Camellia. One plant blooms with the cones all huddled up together like a flower ball, another spreads them in long, graceful feathery spikes resembling the fluffy ostrich plumes, some take one form, while others affect the quaint, as if trying to add coquetry to their charms. CULTURAL DIRECTIONS, WHICH, IF FOLLOWED, WILL INSURE SUCCESS. WHEN TO PLANT.—The Chrysanthemum is easy to please on this point. Any time after the ground can be worked, even up to June 2oth, will give you good blooming plants in the Fall, SOIL.—Dig the ground deep; putin quantities of manure. The Chrysanthemum is a gross feeder. If well fed the flowers will be large and the plant strong. DISBUDDING AND STOPPING.—W hen your plant is six or eight inches high, cut back toa height of fourinches, Allow four shoots to grow from this main trunk; when these four shoots are four inches high, pinch out the terminal bud, and save three or four of the branches that will spring from each of these limbs. Allow these last branches to attain a height of nine inches then stop-back for the last time. Allow one bud (flower) to each stem, and that a terminal bud. WHEN TO LIF™.—In localities subject to heavy frosts in October and November, plants should be lifted into large pots or boxes by September ist. After lifting, drench thoroughly> and neyer allow them to suffer for water. Give manure water, if possible, once a week.

A correspondent in ** American Florist” writes as follows in regard to this magnificent class of Geraniums: “This section of the Geranium family is awakening much interest among florists. Their distinctive point is the strong, heavy. growth and iron con- stitution which carries them brilliantly through our trying hot weather amass of cool, bright foliage, ever crowned by a magnificent show of bloom on heavy foot-stalks. It goes without saying that Geraniums of this class, besides being unequaled as bedders, make extra fine pot plants also, and doubtless the next few years will add to their ranks ‘fancy’ sorts as finely colored and marvelously tinted as Gloire de France, LImmortelle or Poete National of the ordinary type, while M. Alfred Mame and Mrs. E. G, Hill will, we think, never be surpassed in their particular line. lowing list are to be found the best of this class.

The leafage is round and nicely zoned, having greater texture and substance than even the most vigorous of the old type. Color of the flower a light vermilion red, of a most pleasing shade, The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape, contour and make-up, trusses exceptionally large, and borne in immense spherical balls, often measuring eight inches in diame- ter.

Large-growing tropical shrubs, with very glossy foliage. The plants under the hottest sun produce enormous flowers in great They can be grown in tubs, and kept for years. The blossoms average five or six inches in diameter, and are gorgeously colored. A very good way to make them bloom freely and to facilitate the lifting in the Fall is to transplant into a pot two orthree sizes larger than the one that it has grown in, then plunge the pot altogether into the ground, the soil to cover the surface one or twoinches. Sufficient nourishment can be found by the top and bottom roots to make the plant bloom well without starting it to grow too vigorously, and therefore to bloom less. Then in the Fall the plant can be litted without injury and transplanted again and kept in a shady, cool place, until fully recovered, it will,in a warm,sunny window in a warm room, bloom constantly.
