INTRODUCTION PPTOSe Piant Department ITH the approach of another spring we beg leave J to present you again with our appearingly modest m= catalogue, modest in outside appearance, but a careful observer will readily discover the fact that it contains not only all the choicest and best the world pro- duces in floriculture, but that the most complete assort- ment of plants to be found west of New York State is offered at remarkably low prices. The steady increase of demand for our plants is the best proof that our aim for over a quarter of a century has been to do a square, honest business, and it shall be our endeayor to merit the approbation of all who intrust us with their orders in the future. The wonderful improvements made yearly in all classes of plants will be found described in the various depart- - ments; let it suffice for us to say that we have spared no expense to offer again only such Novelties as have proved their high standard in robust, healthy growth, and real novelty in all other respects. Our Seed-Farm and Nursery contain thirty acres of the very best land, situated at the borders of the famous Blue- grass country. Our Green houses number thirty three, all in perfect order and heated throughout with hot water, which pro- duces the healthiest atmosphere for the production of hardy plants. This will show we are able to grow plants of all descriptions in any quantity, and to a high degree of perfection, and will also explain how we are able to sell at such extremely low prices. Thanking our numerous customers of past years for their liberal orders and kind expressions of good-will, we have the honor to remain, Your obedient servants, NANZ & NEUNER. The central locality of Louisville, the facilities of distribution by mail, express, railroad, or steamer can not be surpassed. Add to these advantages our careful mode of packing (for which no charge is made), than our guaranty of safe delivery to all parts of the United States, and all parties who have not favored us with their orders in the past may feel induced to give us a trial order in the future. # FEW HINTS TO OUR FRIENDS. Please Use the Order-Sheet, which is attached to every catalogue, to make out your order. If it is necessary to write a letter in addition it is better to write on a separate sheet, or at least separate from the order. How to Order Plants.—Please state always whether you want your plants sent by mail or express; in the latter case whether in or out of pots. If the plants go a great distance they will have to be shipped without pots, to pack securely and lessen express charges; but where the distance is short a great many people prefer to have the plants shipped with the pots, to keep them undisturbed. Plants by Express.— It will be to the interest of purchasers to receive their plants by express whenever it is possible to do so, as large and fine plants can be sent best in this way. We will include extra plants to compensete for express charges. Please mention by which express company you desire your plants sent wherever more than one company has an office. We make no charge for packing. Plants by Mail.—We make a specialty of growing hardy, vigorous young plants to be shipped through the mails free to any part of the United States, and it is the wonder of many to receive their plants in such excellent condition, no matter at what distance from here. Orders must amount to at least one dollar. If Plants Perish in Transit the Loss is Ours.—Sometimes by una- voidable accidents plants perish on the road. Jf promptly notified of the fact by return mail, and if a list of the respective plants be sent us, they will be duplicated at once. We always try to do even a little better than we promise or than fair deal- ing requires. ' Our prosperity depends upon your receiving satisfaction. Size and Quality of Plants.—To judge by careful ob-ervation and by testi- monials we receive, the plants we are in the habit of sending out are always larger and finer than those of any competing house, and we try to keep up this reputation. Our liberality is becoming proverbial with our old customers Selection of Varieties Made for those who desire it.—It is difficult for you to judge of the merits of the different varieties by description and we shall at all times be pleased to make selections for any of our friends who would prefer to rely upon our judgment. All Plants Labeled.—All plants sent out by us are distinctly labeled. (2) Cheapness of Plants.—The prices of our plants, quality considered, are very reasonable; in fact, the lowest in the market, considering that nearly all our plants are grown to larger size and proportion than most of our competitors are in the habit of growing. Our Terms are invariably Cash with the Order. Please write your Name in full, giving Post-office, County, and State; also street and number in large towns; amount of money inclosed. We can also ship ©. 0. D., return charges on money to be paid by purchaser. TREATMENT OF PLANTS ON ARRIVAL. Plants shipped by express suffer little, if any, as the roots get disturbed but very little if taken out of pots. Some water and shade for a few days will re-establish any plant. With plants received by mail more care and precaution have to be taken on arrival. On all plants to be shipped by mail most of the soil has to be removed from the roots in order to lessen the weight, and damp moss and paper take the place of the soil. If the plants are in the least wilted on arrival put them in lukewarm water ina shallow pan for about one hour, leaving the paper and moss undisturbed. This will soon restore their vitality. In potting the plants, after removing moss and paper, use clean pots and loose, fine soil. Take pots only one size larger than the one the plant has been grown in. Press the soil well down after placing the roots in a natural position, leaving half an inch empty space above the soil for the pot to receive the water. Water should be applied until it runs out at the bottom of the pot. Keep shady and from the wind or draft for four or five days. Sprinkle the leaves every day, but take care not to wet the soil in the pot too much, which would make the roots rot. In any case avoid extremes in watering or drying out. If the plants are to be cultivated in pots, most of them will be ready to be shifted into larger-sized pots in from two to four weeks, according to nature of plants. Bedding-plants can be set out at once in the open ground by observing the above rules about watering and shading, provided there is no danger of frost, etc. OUR PRICES, On comparison you will find that our prices are as low as any responsible house, in fact as low as good plants can be produced any where, at a living profit. Add to these low prices (quality considered) our Premiums and Clubbing Rates, and you must admit that no other house can offer you such inducements. We have but one price for all our customers alike. (3) OUR PREMIUMS. It has been our custom, and a successful one it has proved to be, to offer every spring, some of the most valuable and most desirable plants as premiums, on all orders, and the conditions on which the same can be obtained are given immediately below the premiums. LIST OF PREMIUM PLANTS, New Tea-Rose, Princess Beatrice.— Offered for the first time this spring. It has with us proved to be a first-class Tea-rose of vigorous, erect growth, thick, hand- some foliage. Outside petals pale yellow, center rich orange-yellow, edge of petals laced bright rose. Please do not judge this new variety from first imperfect flowers. This sort will become one of our standard varieties. New Tea-Rose Comtesse de Frigneuse.—We find this to be an excellent bedding rose; in color charming delicate canary yellow; fine in bud, and handsome foliage. It is hardy with protection and deserves to be grown extensively. Canna Ehmanii.—For tropical effect, grown isolated or as center plant of a group, few plants equal this splendid variety; the foliage is large, green, like banana leaves, while the numerous flowers are large, gladiolus-like, of a pleasing bright carmine. New Abutilon, Golden Fleece.—This is the showiest of all Abutilons; the flowers are large, bright canary yellow, and hang gracefully among the deep-green foliage. Its growth is strong and symmetrical, therefore well adapted to be grown singly as a show-plant or massed with others of contrasting colors. Geranium, New Single, Mrs. H. Nanz, Sr.—An excellent bedding variety of richest bright salmon center with white border suffused with rosy orange. New Coleus, Rag Carpet.—Very showy, extra large foliage of remarkably rich coloring, outside serrated border smaragd, green followed by chocolate-brown. border dotted yellow, while inside of leaves is fiery rose carmine with yellow base,very distinct. New Perpetual Carnation, Anna Webb.—Next to the rose comes the carnation, for loveliness and fragrance, and this variety combines a strikingly rich dark crimson color with healthy, strong growth and continuous bloom. New Heliotrope, Bruant.—A new favorite sort; very fragrant, large, showy, dark purple flowers with silvery eye.

They are especially sought for because of their vigorous and healthy condition on arrival at destination; their un- equaled beauty and choice selection giving quick and constant bloom at once We make a specialty of roses, and have over 200,000 on band this spring, grown— (1). In 2- and 23-inch pots, especially prepared to be sent by mail. (2). In 33- to 6-inch pots, to be sent in bud or bloom, by express, to any part of the United States or Canada. From the innumerable varieties introduced every year, we retain only such as have the following qualities in the full sense of the word: 1. Vigorous and healthy growth; 2. Beauty of form; 3. Fragrance ; 4. Profu- sion and continuity of bloom ; 5. Beauty of color. The fall of the year is of course the time when especially Ever-blooming Roses come to perfection, and then is the best time to judge about the merits of each variety. CULTIVATION OF ROSES, Pot-Culture for House and Conservatory.—The Ever-blooming Roses are best for house-culture. Have good rich soil mixed with one fifth sand. Sods and well-rotted cow manure make the best soil for roses After potting, the plants ought to be thoroughly watered and kept from the burning sun. The earth should be mod- erately dry before watering again. If the rose gets too large for that pot, shift into one or two sizes larger, but do not use too large pots. (9) The rose should always be pruned when potted; as a general rule, shortened about. one half. Plunge the pots in the ground out doors during summer We furnish roses, suitably prepared for winter bloom, during the fall and winter months. Garden Culture for Roses.—Have your beds well-drained, good, rich soil, enriched with old manure only—cow manure is best. Plant the tender roses only in the spring; the hardy sorts can be planted also in the fall. to great advantage. Dormant plants should by all means be set out early; frost does not injure them like the tender varieties. Pot-grown roses can of course be planted out any time in the spring and summer. Pruning.—March and April are the best months for this operation. " Moderate pruning insures growth and more blooms. Cut out all decayed wood. Protection.—Do not protect too early; give the wood a chance to ripen out. On our own grounds we draw the surrounding soil up about a foot around the bushes, and let the rest of the branches freeze, and find this is the surest and best protection. Roses in Beds or Masses.—To produce the finest effect Roses ought to be planted in beds or masses. No other flower should be planted with them. Rose Hedges.—A rose hedge in full bloom produces a gorgeous effect. The plants ought to be kept trimmed all summer by cutting off all old flower-shoots to an equal length as soon as the flowers fall off. In March a general pruning and cleaning, ought to take place.

Of this variety we keep also budded plants on the Manetti stock, which will grow three times more freely than those on their own roots, will prove more hardy and will bloom profusely. These budded plants we offer at +1 each; extra, $1.50. We would advise our cus- tomers to spend a little more money in order to procure a strong two-year-old plant or a budded one, because a small ‘one-year-old plant dies on your hands almost every year. The Marechal Neil is naturally a climbing rose, aud should not be pruned too short. When you plant out a budded rose, be sure and plant sufficiently deep. so that the junction of plant and stock gets at least two inches under the surface of the soil. 10c., 25c., and 50c.

This plant rivals the Geranium in popu- larity, and it certainly well deserves it. All of the below-named kinds are good growers, and bloom all summer, either bedded out or as tub-plants. A very good way to make them bloom freely and to facilitate the lifting in fall is to transplant each plant into a pot two or three sizes larger than the one it has been grown in, then plunge the pot alto- gether into the ground, the soil to cover the surface two inches. Sufficient notr- ishment can be found by the top and bottom roots to make the plant bloom well without starting it to grow too vig- orously, and therefore, to bloom less. Then in the fall the plant ean be lifted without injury, and being 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.

With good care, very few flowers will afford more satisfaction. Sow in a frame or in a sheltered bed in the garden in the spring as soon as the weather is warm. Transplant when the second leaves have made alittle growth. If left where sown they will only besemi-double. Set the plants ten or twelve inches apart, and when the side branches appear pinch all off but three or four, and pinch out the center shoot. Those left will grow stronz, and the flowers will not be coucealed by the foliage, as in the case when the plant is left unpruned. A very good way is to keep all the side shoots pinched off, leay- ing only the leading one; this will grow two or three feet in height and be a perfect wreath of flowers. Balsams grow in our climate to perfection, and deserve to be cultivated generally. Also very valuable for greenhouse culture ; equal to a carna- tion.
