IMPORTANT NOTICE.—Aiter lengthy negotiations, we have succeeded in obtaining a lower rate on pla from the express companies, so that henceforth they will be carried at a reduction of 20 per cent. from the rates pr viously in force. This applies to planis only. We therefore urgently advise that plants be sent by Express because they arrive in better condition, and we can seud larger plants. We pack very light to reduce the expressa to the minimum. and to encourage customers to have plants sent by express we will add enough plants, grati of our selection, to generally more than equal the amount of expressage that the purchaser pays. LANDSCAPE GARDENING. We are prepared to furnish plans and specifications for laying out, sowing and planting gardens, private and publi parks at shortest notice.

Our greenhouses cover over 150,000 square feet solid under glass, besides the hot beds and cold frames in which the millions of plants are reared which we send to every State in the Union to adorn the remotest cottage as well as the palace of the wealthiest. We have succeeded in adding some sterling novelties of highest merit to almost every department, sparing neither pains nor expense to make our collection the best offered anywhere. b .. since 1850, when Henry Nanz, Sr., started this business in a very humble way, it has OUR FACILITIES ARE UNEXCELLED. 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), then 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. Roses are our great specialty. We offer them in all sizes, hardened off for immediate planting out or growing in pots prepared for winter-blooming, and lovers of this noble flower will do well before planting to study our classification and plant each-class as much as possible together—not mix the Teas with Hybrids or Moss, etc., and a much better effect will be ob- tained. We are again compelled to increase our edition of this catalogue, and fifty thousand copies will be distributed this spring. Each catalogue costs us over ten cents, and it will therefore be a great favor if any person who has no use for this catalogue will hand it to a neighbor, who may profit by same. Wishing our friends and patrons a prosperous New Year, we have the honor to thank you all for past favors, and also acknowledge the receipt of so many kind, encouraging words, showing that we have proven ourselves worthy of your confidence. Yours very truly, NANZ & NEUNER. LoutsviL_e, Ky., January 1, 1895. 2 NANZ & NEUNER, LOUISVILLE, KY. Fi 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. - Plants by Express.—lIt will be to the interest of purchasers to receive their plants by express whenever it 1s possible to do so, as large and fine plants can be sent best in this way. We.will include extra plants to compensate for express charges. Please mention hy which express company you desire your plants sent where more than one company has an. office. N. B.—Low Express Rate.— At last, through the untiring efforts of the florists, a special rate has been granted on all plant shipments, which is a reduction of twenty per cent. ; also packages of less than one hundred pounds are billed at one hundred pound rates. Plants by Freight.—Large and heayy plants can be shipped safely by freight to all points situated on direct routes from here; it will not injure plants to be two or three days on the road. This apples especially to large plants which are to be planted out on arrival which recover quickly on arrival. Exorbitant express charges make it every year more imperative to ship all heavy articles by freight. Such orders as call for heavy plants and young, delicate stock at same time, can be divided; the delicate plants can be sent by express, while the heavier and hardy can go-by freight. If the mode of shipping, express or freight is left to us, our customers may rest assured that the best course will be followed. Trees, shrubs, hardy perennial plants, bulbs and roots can, of course, be shipped by freight without risk whatever. 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 fifty cents. For orders less than fifty cents, ten cents must be added for postage and packing. If Plants Perish in Transit the Loss is Ours.—Sometimes by unavoidable accidents plants perish on the road. If promptly notified of the fact by return mail and a list of the respective plants be sent us, they will be duplicated at once. We always promise to lo even a little better than we promise or than fair dealing requires. Our prosperity depends upon your receiving satisfaction. Our Responsibility.—We guarantee plants and seeds to reach their destination in a live, growing condition, but when we have done this our responsibility ceases, because we know that if they receive proper care they will grow nicely. Many plants die from careless treatment and neglect; in such cases we can not and should not be expected to replace them. Size and Quality of Plants.—To judge by careful observation’ 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 this reputation. Our liberality is becoming proverbial with our old customers. ' Oe NANZ & NEUNER, LOUISVILLE, KY. 3 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. 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 enclosed. We can also ship C. O. D., return charges on money to be paid by purchaser. How to Send Money.—Remittances can be safely made either by P. 0. Money Order, Express Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. it your order amounts to one dollar or upwards, always send by one of the above methods at our risk. We can not be re- sponsible for currency enclosed in letter unless registered. United States Postage Stamps will be received where currency can not be obtained—four, five, ten and fifteen cent stamps preferred. Do not tear stamps apart in remitting, and be exceedingly careful about the least moisture getting on them. TREATMENT OF PLANTS ON ARRIVAL. Piants shipped by express or freight suffer little, if any, as the roots get disturbed but 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 in a shallow pan for about one hour, leaving the paper and moss undisturbed. This will soon restore their vitality. Tn 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 draught 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 ease 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 lurger-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, ete.

Ks Sa Y Roses are our great specialty, and over 500,000 in all sizes await distribution this spring. Our roses are celebrated for their health and vigor, choice selections giving quick and constant bloom at once. We grow them in following SIZeS : C1.) In 2 inch pots, especially prepared for mail trade | and light packing by express. (2.) In 3, 4,5 and 6 inch pots, to be sent, in bud or bloom, by express, to any distance. The fall of the year is the time when roses are in their perfection, and only then is it safe to judge a rose. Sometimes the finest roses, like Gloire de Dijon, produce a few single flowers ; in fact all roses are affected in color and quality by the heat of summer. XQ SOP YR, y Ieag, “TED ay ABLANG, CULTIVATION OF ROSES. Pot-Culture for House and Conservatory.—The ever-blooming ‘roses alone are best for house-culture. Have a 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 thor- oughly watered and kept from the burning sun. The earth should be moderately 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. 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-blooming, during the fall and winte; months. Garden Culture for Roses.—Have your beds well drained, good, rich soil, en- riched with old manure only—-cow manure is the 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 sect out carly; 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 prun- ing insures growth and more blooms. Cut out all decayed wood. All the shoots bearing . flowers ought to be shortened two-thirds after blooming. Water.— We are frequently asked how often to water. Do so whenever the soil gets dry, but whenever water is applied do it thoroughly, so as to soak the soil to the roots: when the bed dries off a day or so after, loosen the soil around them lightly. Muleching.—This is a very important item for roses and should never be neglected. 8 NANZ &> NEUNER, LOGISVILEE, KX. After loosening the soil for the first time, removing weeds, etc., cover the soil with well-rotted manure or hay, leaves, etc., to the depth of two to three inches. This will keep the soil moist and cool and enrich the soil at same time ; also prevent the weeds from growing and save you the trouble of watering so often. This mulch can be removed and renewed once to bring on a fresh stimulant. 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. Do not uncover too soon; more roses get killed by this cause than by any,other. A top dressing of stable manure is very beneficial also after the soil has been drawn up around the bushes. 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.—aA 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.

A truly magnificent rose, truly called the ever-blooming Jacqueminot.

This is undoubtedly the finest and most perfect rose of this class; hardy, free- blooming, of beautiful, clear flesh color, edges bluish; superb. Noisette Roses. Formerly hardy,they have been hybridized with Tea Roses so as tolose much of their former character. They have been much improved in color and form, and to obtain large, perfect flowers, ought to be trimmed well every spring, and some during earlysummer. In the Southern States, or cultivated under glass in colder climes, they are magnificent climbers: They all need protection here. America. Creamy yellow, bronze shaded; good bloomer. Aime Vibert. One of the hardiest and best bloomers; pure white, well-formed flowers, in large clusters. Aime Vibert, Climbing. Same as above, but will run ten feet or more. Celine Forester.

Flesh white with a slight shade of salmon. Ophirie. Reddish copper, medium size; full; the plants have to have age in order to bloom well. Reine Marie Henrietta.

A new shadeof orange-yellow: strong growers and good bloomers, very fine. New and Old Climbing Tea-Roses. Climbing Teas of pure blood, thatis, not intermixed with Noisette, are still rare. Below-named are of real merit for greenhouse cultivation or to be grown in tubs in the Middle or Northern States, while for the Southern States they are the most valuable everblooming climb- ers up to date. We can therefore highly reeommend same. Climbing Niphetos. There has never been but one point that held that glorious old rose, Niphetos, in the background, and that was the serious defect of its being a weak grower, and this defect is now remedied We have a vigorous climbing growth,coupled with all the charms of Niphetos. It has always held the lead as being the most elegant of white roses. The budson well-grown specimens measure four inches in length, _and are produced in the greatest profusion. Climbing Malmaison. Malmaison is another of our ’ most perfect, everblooming roses, and now we haye the pleasure to offer for the first timeastrong climbing sportof that old favorite, which will help to make it still more popular. A continuous blooming climbing rose of such beauty and perfection will make a most welcome addition to above sterling sorts. Price 50c. La mn ON Climbing La France. Climbing La France. Identical with La France in every respect except in style of growth, which in this new variety is of a strong climbing habit, making it an excellent pillar or porch rose.

An excellent class for cemetery planting. Clothilde Soupert. One of the most prolific bloomers in our entire list, and admirably adapted to pot culture, beginning to flower when not over four inches high, and continues without intermission the entire season if kept in a healthy growing condition. The flowers are borne in sprays, very double and handsomely formed. The outer petals are pearl white, shading to a center of rosy pink, but varying sometimes on the same plant from pure white to deep silvery rose. A grand bedding variety. Gloire des Polyanthas.

Pure white, flowers somewhat smaller than Mignonette, but more perfect. Perle d@’Or. An orange-red Polyantha, with yellowish tinge; very free bloomer; has proved an excellent bedder during the summer. Hybrid Perpetual Roses. This class is justly popular, as it combines perfect hardi- ness with the most periect forms and most brilliant colors. Most of them even surpass the Tea Kose in rich perfume. They grow best in a rich, loamy soil. A light cover of straw or hay will protect them, not only from the cold, but from the intenserays of thesun, which striking the stem while the sap is down is equally injurious. Our hints about trimming after the flowers fade, in order to procure fresh flowers and growth, apply especially to this class. Alfred Collomb.

The rose, the chrysanthemum, and the carnation are the most popular and the most fashionable flowers of the day. Is there a sweeter flower than the carnation, or pink’ What flower presents a greater variety of colors and variations? What flower has such lasting quality, combined with its graceful form and most delightful fragrance? The variation of colors is greater than in al- most any other flower, and the cultivation is of the easiest. Observe the following rules: Use only young, vigorous plants for planting out, and plant out very early. Do not wait till the hot weather of May sets in. Mobe or CutturEe.—Young plants are planted in open ground here as early as April 15, as light frosts do not injure them; or if for pot-culture, a repeated shifting from time to time is advisable and preferable to planting young plants in very large pots at once. Pinch the top-shoots once or twice during the early summer only to encourage a bushy growth. The soil, common loam, should be enriched by a little leaf-mold, well-rottetl cow manure or bone- dust. About October 1st lift the plants from open ground with a full ball and pot. Keep cool and shady for first week, till well established, then remove to a sunny, airy place, and let temperature never exceed sixty degrees. pots per dozen, $1.50; each, 15c. each, 25c.

A good degree of success may be obtained by planting them in large tubs or half-bar- rels, in the open air, either on the surface or sunk in the ground. They should be placed where they receive the full benefit of the sun for at least the greater portion of the day. If for the whole day, so much the better. Fill them about half full of the compost. The large growing kinds would do better in large half hogsheads or tierces sawed in two. A very effective and inexpensive plan is to arrange the tubs in connection with a rockery. The next best arrangement for growing aquatics is to build of bricks and hydraulic cement a basin two feet deep and six feet in diameter, either round or square. Aquatics may also be grown in the basin of a fountain, but will not flourish if the spray is allowed to fall upon the leaves. Soil. Well decayed manure of any kind, mixed loam or garden soil we find best for growing all kinds of aquatics. 1. Tender sorts to be wintered in cellar or conservatory. These tender sorts must not be exposed until the arrival of warm weather; in the fall after the frost has killed the foliage of the tender nymphes, the tubs containing the tubers can be removed to a warm cellar or put under the bench in a greenhouse.

Regular conical form, bright crimson color, very superior quality, resembling the wild berry. 50c. perten; $2.00 per hundred. Shuckless. Possesses a peculiar feature distinguishing it from all others, which is indicated byits name.

The Columbian Raspberry. The Columbian isa new candidate for horticultural favor, which the originator offers to the public, confidert that it will head the listof first-class berries. We believe that all that is necessary to prove what we say is to give it a fair trial,and that whenit is as well-known abroad as itis at home it will advertise itself. It is a seedling of the Cuthbert, grown near the Gregg ree raspberry, and believed to bea cross between e two. The follo ving pointsshow the superiority of the Columbian over all other berries now grown. Extremely vigorous and resisting drought. Prepagation by tips, and no suckers. Fruit very large. Best berry for canning, retaining size, color and flavor. Long season of fruiting and high quality of latefruit. Fruit adheres to the stem, not dropping. Does not crumble in picking.

There is scarcely a yard so small, either in country-or ‘city, thatroom for from one toa dozen or more grapevines can not be found. They do admirably trained up by the side of any building, or along the garden fence, oc- cupying but little room and furnishing an abundance of the healthiest of fruits. Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines somewhat deeper than they stood in the nursery. Plant about eight feet apart, by the fence or building. For vineyards, make rows eight feet apart, six to ten feet in rows. Black Grapes. Concord.

These sorts are prin- cipally for such persons as have greenhouses or a hot bed and who take interest in plant growing, and who like to watch the seed from the first seed leaf to the full grown plant. The seeds must be grown carefully; need warmth and nourishment—a humid warm air as well as soil. Use only good sifted soil, and put on water in sprays. Keep the seeds shaded. It is a good plan to put a pane of glass on top of pot until the seed is sprouted; but give air occas- ionally by inserting a small stick between the glass and the rim of the pot.

The ground color isarich crimson, overlaid with intense cherry red, the tips of the petals are a pure snow-white; the contrast is startling, yet pleas- ing, and commands admiration at firstsight, Like all plants bearing parti-colored flowers this sometimes produces blooms differing from the above, and herein lies one of its charms, for frequently many different flowers may beseen on the same plant. Per dozen, $3.50; 40c. each. Erythrina Corallodendron. The showiest of these tuberous-rooted bedding plants, the flowers are of most intense coral-red, all summer; keep the rootsin cellar every winter. Price, 20c. each; 6 for $1.00 Gesneria. (Neegelias.) The value of gesnerias as decorative plants can scarcely be overestimated. Most of them have rich velvet like foliage, which in the respective kinds varies from green to erimson; besides this, they produce splendid pyra- midal spikes of flowers. They require similar treat- ment to the gloxinia. 25¢c. each; $2.00 per dozen. Gelsemium Sempervirens. (Carolina Yellow Jessamine.) Not cultivated tothe extent itdeserves.

We can supply three species of these grand plants. .The heliconias like plenty of moisture. 25c. each; 5 for $1.00. 108 NA NZ & by: NEUNER, LOGLSLT LL Eas Bhs colins Capensis. Cape Fuchsias. | (Phygelius Capensis.) Seldom have we seen a plant so charming and free-bloom- ing. During our past dry summer it wasnever out of flower, while geraniums alongside of it were perish- ing. Plants barely a few inches high bear from ten to twénty bold, long spikes, completely crowded with showy scarlet, drooping flowers, persistently produced from May until late autumn, when they can be brought in for winter blooming. It is also a good bedding plant,grown singly or in masses; does well on poorsoil, moist or dry, and will probably prove hardy. Can also pee grown from seed.

The Garden says of it: ‘‘Its slender branching habit is most striking, ~ : and the silvery foliage. even more so.
