on the market.
The business outlook for the New Year is indeed encouraging, our fiies being
already loaded with orders for spring shipment; and the indications are that the
trade in florists’ stock the present year will fully compensate for the recent general business depression.

Decorative Plants.
ALL PLANTS ARE MEASURED FROM TOP OF POT.
| PALMS.
Nothing in the florist’s line of Decorative Plants is more important than the Palm, the sale being
constant and at all times profitable.
Our stock of these plants, it is well-known, is second to none in
America, and our prices are right, as will be found by comparison. Our Palms always give satisfac-
tion, because being grown im a low temperature, they are particularly sturdy and hardy, making them
much more useful for house culture than if grown in greater heat.
We mention below the varieties
and sizes most in demand for florists’ trade. Prices on other varieties, as well as on specimen plants,
will be furnished on application.

STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS.
STROBILANTHES DYWER- IANUS.
Wherever exhibited the past year, this unique plant attracted universal attention, and created quite a sensation throughout the trade. Having a robust constitution it stands our summers to per- fection, propagates quickly, and isas easily grown as Coleus. For bedding out this beautiful plant cannot be surpassed, while it is invaluable for pot-culture. The whole plant, while being beau- tifully variegated, has a pea-cock blue luster, pro- ducing an effect at once surprising and pleasing to the eye. We know of no other plant of recent introduction that presents such a charming ap- pearance on the lawn or border, and no live florist will fail to secure a stock for spring orders. Strong plants, in 3-inch pots, $2.50 per doz., $15 per roo.

(Novelty.)
This new variety is offered this year for the first time, and differs from all other varieties of this extensive family yet introduced, in the pecu- liarly beautiful form of foliage, the leaves being long, very narrow, and a striking light green in color, a decided improvement upon the stiffness so common to most other classes of Aster. In habit of growth this variety somewhat resembles the Mignon Aster, from which it has been ob- tained. The semi-globular flowers are borne on very slender stems, a single plant producing not less than 40 buds, and sometimes as many as 70, which open into flower gradually, thus prolonging the flowering period. 50 cts. per trade pkt.

NEW,WHITE BRANCHING ASTER.
Trade packets of Flower Seed Novelties are equal to two retail packets. Packets and ounces will be sent free by mail at prices quoted.
If ordered by the pound, add 8 cents
ASTER
NEW WHITE BRANCHING ASTER.
Athough this is a novelty of last year’s intro- duction, it 1s one that will recommend itself, and command attention for some years to come. Its remarkable feature, and that which dis- tinguishes it from other varieties, is its peculiar habit of growth and form of flower. The large, handsome, pure white flowers are borne in great profusion on long, stiff stems, the slender, graceful petals spreading thickly in every direc- tion. Indeed, the flowers are often mis- taken for Chrysanthemums, and being a very late bloomer, this heightens the illusion. Plants of this excellent novelty are easily raised from seed, one of our packets producing an abundant quantity. 15 cts. per trade pkt.
BALL OR JEWEL ASTERS.
This beautiful class of Asters, which belongs to the short-petaled, pzony-flow- ered section, seems to have attained great popularity. The flowers are very double, with symmetrically incurving petals, mak- ing them almost exactly spherical. Apple Blossom, Deep Rose, Crimson, Rose and White, Purple Viclet. Each color. 15 cts. per trade pkt. The collection of five coloxs, one trade packet of each, 75 cts.

PRIZE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
P. & M.’S PRIZE CHRYSANTHEMUM SEED.
Seedling Chrysanthemums are becoming the fashion of late years, and thousands of new vari- eties crop up every fall, the majority only to be cut down again by public disapproval. It is remarkable that during the past five years we have originated and disseminated more varieties of merit that have been commended by the hor- ticultural public, and awarded diplomas, certifi- cates, gold medals andcash prizes, thanany other
firm in the world. This appears a strong state- |
ment, but it is true, as is proved by statistics.
PircHER & -ManpDa, SHort Hits, N. J.
From this superb collection we have during the |
past season, at great expense, saved one of the finest strains of Chrysanthemum Seed, we venture to say, that has ever been offered to the public Our own sowings have been made from identically the same stocks we offer below, which we have no doubt whatever will produce many prize-win- ners next year. A packet of seed, costing 50 cents, may produce a new variety worth hundreds of dollars to the grower. During the past fall every mail contained enthusiastic letters from customers, expressing their great satisfaction at
the marvelous results from their sowing of our |
Chrysanthemum Seed, the majority of them being
CENTAUREA CYANUS NANA COMPACTA VICTORIA. (Mixed Colors.)
This fine annual is especially adapted for carpet- bedding, and equally suitable for pot-culture. The single blooms are somewhat smaller than those of the ordinary Cornflower, and larger than those of the dwarf variety, and in color range through White, Lilac, Rose, Blue and Red. The plant grows 6 inches high, form- ing a perfect ball, completely covered with flow-
ers. 25 cts. per trade pkt. Trade pkt. Oz. Centaurea candidissima..............

NEW GIANT COLEUS, MONSTROSUS.
Unfortunately, we were unable to have an illus- tration of this new plant prepared in time for use in this Catalogue, but from the introducer’s brief description, a fair idea of it may be had: ‘*Monstrous” is not too strong a word to express the size of this new Coleus. Cultivated in pots, the plants attain a height of six and one= half feet, and produce variegated and beautifully formed leaves one foot wide, and two feet long. For striking effect, we know of nothing 50 cents per trade pkt.

MYOSOTIS ALPESTRIS ‘‘ JEWEL.”’ (Dwarf Forget-me-not.)
An entirely new variety, being a sport from Myosotis alpestris Victorza, but much larger in the flowers. The plants are very strong and compact, forming solid ball-shaped bushes, bear- ing from 40 to 45 perfect flower-stems. The flower is composed of onedouble central blossom, encircled by innumerable smaller ones, forming altogether a beautiful-looking cluster, which lasts along period in bloom, The color is a beautiful sky-blue, brighter than any other variety known. For beds and borders, and especially for bouquet work, this novelty will be found invaluable.
There has also been introduced during the past seasona pure white-flowering form of the above. Either color, separate, 15 cts. per trade pkt.
FORGET-ME-NOT ‘Blue Perfection.’’
(Myosotis dissitiflora grandiflora.)
A novelty of great merit, being awarded first prizes in Hamburg and Hanover, at recent exhi- bitions. The pale blue blossoms are remarkably large, and are borne in strong, well-formed um- bels, almost covering the compact-growing plant. Blooming early, it is especially valuable for forcing, and an excellent thing for pot-culture and cutting. 25cts. per trade pkt.,

TOMATO— NEW EARLY RED TREE TOMATO.
That which especially recommends this To- mato over similar varieties of its class, is the fact that it has little foliage and few branches, grow- ing upright and sturdy, and producing immense quantities of finely formed Tomatoes of good size, carried well above the ground and close to the stem. The fruit, being entirely exposed, ripens very much earlier than other Tree To- matoes, whose fault of late ripening has prevented their general use. In quality this variety is unsur- passed. 25 cts. per packet.

|_NEW WHITE-FLOWERING BEDDING or CARPET THYME.
This charming. new, snow-white variety always comes true from seed, and is especially recom- mended on account of its adaptability toalmost any situation, its low, cushion-like habit of growth making it invaluable for all kinds of carpet bed- ding, rockeries, and permanent border planting. It stands cutting, and is excellent for planting on steep hills and curves where few other plants thrive well, making a most valuable substitute for grass, as itis unaffected by the greatest drought. When planted 5 to ro inches apart, the plants will spread and occupy all the space between, making a perfect carpet. The foliage presents a pure, | vivid green, much better than the type, and the plant has a powerful and pleasing aroma. 25 cts. per pkt. mee

SACALINE, THE NEW FORAGE PLANT.
ee ee ~ SACALINE. eat ue 1 (Polygonum Sachalinense. )
_ Although this plant has been cultivated for a great many years as an ornamental foliage plant, it was only in 1893 that its important and valuable properties were discovered by an accident which in itself was a great recommendation to the new forage plant. A drought, destroying every other forage -
_ plant in France during the season above mentioned, tailed to affect this variety. As an experiment, _ it was given to horses, cattle and sheep, who took to it with great relish.
We have been growing it on our herbaceous farms for several years, where it has proved itself perfectly hardy, thriving luxuriantly on the most barren, rocky soil. It has received great praise - from the horticultural and agricultural press all over the world, and in this country it is especially Tecognized as an invaluable addition to our somewhat limited list of forage plants. Owing to its --_—_—_ extremely vigorous growth, sometimes attaining a height of 12 feet by June, it will bear pulne er throughout the whole season. 1% oz. packet He cts., 4 lb. $3.

After being cultivated for three years, the field requires no more care or attention, continuing to give ee _ abundant crops for fifty years to come. ee ‘Being analyzed by a celebrated chemist of Germany, ie valuable plant was found to contain ee’ 2B. 98 per cent. moisture, 21.02 per cent solid matter.
