CHOICE STRAINS OF FLORISTS’ FLOWERS.

Choice Flower Seed Novelties.

TUBEROUS BEGONIAS.

This is a class of plants which has been developed within the past 15 or 20 years by the skill of the hybridizer. Now we have in them bright scarlet, more brilliant than Geraniums, and in all shades of rose-red, pink to white, and of late we have brilliant yellows, from pale straw- color to brilliant bronze, and all both double and single. Our collection of these plants is very large, and the past season we have carefully saved seed from the best flowers, which we offer as below. This seed of our own saving is, we assure our customers, superior to the imported seed usually offered.

OUR PRIZE CHRYSANTHEMUM SEED.

We are”now universally considered headquarters for this grand flower, our collection taking the ‘best prizes wherever exhibited. Instead of selling our cut-flowers, we take special pains to induce the choicest varieties to seed by artificial and other means, and have met with such success that we will have for sale a large quantity, including all types and colors, 15c. per packet, $1.50 per dozen.

CYPRIPEDIUM.

The many calls and inquiries for Orchid seed induced us to save and offer this year in our ‘Spring Catalogue, artificially Hybridized Cypripedium Seed.

We have been successful in raising many new and very valuable varieties from seed ourselves, and believe, from the increasing interest taken in this class of plants, that the seed will meet with a ‘ready sale. 30c. per packet, $3.00 per dozen. On each packet will appear the Cross of Hybridization.

THE COMET WHITE ASTER.

This is a lovely new Aster, being sent out for the first time. It is a French novelty ana ‘tthe flowers resemble a Japanese Chrysanthemum; the petals are long, pure-white, and arranged in ‘a way entirely distinct from most asters. Per pkt., 25 cts.

NEW ROSE COLOR AND WHITE “BALL” ASTER.

This novelty bears very double flowers, with very symmetrically incurving petals, making the ‘flower almost exactly spherical. They are rose color and white, and very distinct among Asters, deserving general cultivation. Per pkt., 15 cts.

6 UNITED STATES NURSERIES.

CARDINAL POPPY.

This is a variety of Papaver somniferum and is distinguished from the type by its dwarfer habit of growth and the size and brilliant color of its flowers. These are immense, very double, brilliant scarlet on a white ground, and are borne Io to 12 on a plant 18 inches high, lasting for a long time in perfection. A grand annual Poppy which we predict will prove a decided acquisition. Per pkt., 15 cts.

NEW GLOXINIA “CORONA.”

This grand flower is remarkable for its size and striking colors. The individual blossoms are 3 to 44g inches across, with 6, and often 7, divisions or lobes, and a large, richly veined throat of deep violet-red, passing into a beautiful indigo towards the orifice. This color gradually disappears and the pure-white outer ground is margined with innumerable dark-blue dots. Another strong point in its favor is that it nearly always comes true from seed. Per pkt., 30 cts.

NEW HYBRID IMPATIENS SULTANI (BALSAMS).

These new hybrid balsams are offered this year for the first time, and will, we believe, find favor with all flower-lovers. The plant is of an erect free-growing habit and the flowers are borne in great profusion until frost. They are of varying shades from bright-red to delicate pale-pink- They are very superior to the ordinary Sultani Balsams and are a great acquisition. Per pkt., 20 cts-

IMPATIENS SULTANI (BALSAM), “KING ALBERT.”

This is one of the varieties described above, of a beautiful shade of rosy crimson, and produced in great profusion. Per pkt., 20 cts.

SCHIZANTHUS PINNATUS NIVEUS.

For the first time a pure-white Schizanthus is offered. It is true that white flowers have been produced by Schizanthus pinnatus albus and Schizanthus grandiflorus albus, but the former are spotted with blue and the latter with yellow. We are confident that this will find favor and prove a valuable addition. Per pkt., 15 cts.

PAPAVER GLAUCUM (TULIP POPPY).

A magnificent new Poppy recently discovered in the mountains of Armenia. The plant rises to a height of 12 to 14 inches and produces above the bluish-green foliage a profusion (often 50 to 60) of large and splendid flowers of the most brilliant and vivid scarlet imaginable. The two outer petals bear a resemblance to a saucer, in which the two inner petals stand nearly upright and as if protecting the stamens. As the flowers fade, two black spots are visible at the base of the petals. The color reminds one of the bright scarlet of the Scarlet Duc van Thol Tulip, and on this account. the variety has been named the Tulip Poppy.

This will prove to be one of the very best decorative annuals, its dazzling-red flowers, produced in such profusion, forming a brilliant mass not to be excelled, and serving to brighten up other plants. with flowers or foliage of a more somber color. The minute seed will sometimes remain for two weeks before germinating, but if planted in a hot-bed it will germinate in about eight days. Per pkt., 20 cts.

Hardy Perennial Seed.

OF OUR OWN SAVING.

Growing, as we do, many acres of these most useful and pretty plants, for which there is a “steadily increasing demand, assisted by a favorable season, we have saved a quantity of seed of the most important kinds, and offer below a list at prices which will compare favorably with those of the European growers; but when taken into consideration the certainty of germination and extra care with which they are saved, they should receive the preference.

General Wholesale List of Vegetable Seeds.

We wish to ¢all the attention, especially of market gardeners and florists to ourseeds. From per- sonal experience we know the vital importance of purity of stock and high germination. In this de- partment purchasers may have every confidence in the goods we offer, as every article we send out will be tested both for germination and purity. We have spared ourselves no expense in the preparation of seed testing houses and trial and experimental grounds, and have secured only skilled help, many of whom have spent a lifetime in this business.

In all cases the seeds we offer will represent the new crop of 1891, grown by reliable men under our

personal supervision.

Quarter pound furnished at pound rate, ten pound at hundred pound rate, and peck or quarter bushel at bushel rate.

When seeds are to be sent by mail, eight cents per pound for seeds sold by the pound, and fifteen cents per quart for peas and beans, must be enclosed for postage.

To TEST THE PURITY OF OUR STOCKS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS WE WILL GLADLY SEND SAMPLE PACKETS FREE UPON APPLICATION, ASKING THAT SAME WILL BE REPORTED UPON AT MATURITY.

Plant Novelties.

The following are the most desirable new plants, recommended to the Florists’ trade. They are plants that no progressive Florist can afford to be without, while a grand lot of new Chry- santhemums will be found under another heading.

PTERIS VICTORL2®. One of the grandest Ferns ever introduced, originally discovered by I. FoRSTERMAN. The foliage is neatly divided, the sterile fronds being much broader than the fertile ones. The middle of the frond is beautifully variegated with silvery white, giving the plant a most unique appearance. Price, Strong, 2 inch, $1.00 each. $10.00 per doz. ‘‘ - Fine cpr 1.25 = 12.00 ‘ a

NEW GENISTAS. The following set was raised from seed by Mr. JAS. DEAN, and as everybody knows, raised quite a sensation when exhibited at the Lenox Lyceum Exhibition. Genistas have become such popular flowers for Easter decoration that they are indispensable to every Florist. The hybrids as described below are improvements upon the common type, having finer foliage, and a good many having the desirable drooping habit; others again have new colors in flower, and altogether, it is a set of plants that nobody can afford to be without. Plants will be ready March Ist.

5o0c. each; $5.00 per dozen for any of the varieties, or $5.00 for the set of 12.

No. 1. El Dorado—A most distinct variety, drooping habit. The flower spikes are large and of a bright yellow, and the plant remains in flower longer than any of the other Genistas.

No. 2. Gold—Beautiful foliage; flower of good size, deep golden yellow color ; habit good, ‘and it will make an excellent variety.

No. 3. California—Very fine Genista, with good, distinct foliage; flower deep yellow, of good size and substance.

Florists’ Set of New Chrysanthemums.

We have selected the following varieties, embracing the very cream of the different sorts sent out by us this year of our own seedlings, as being superior to all others for commercial purposes. When we say superior, we mean it. What Florist wants to spend his time and money cultivating inferior sorts which command a low price, when he can just as well grow a superior article at a greater profit > Every year brings great improvements in the habit, character and quality of this favorite Fall Fiower, and the success attained by us, taking every first premium for pot plants offered at the Madison Square Chrysanthemum Show, Noy. 2d to 9th, proves this fact. This we have accomplished with our new Seedlings, which has thus established their superiority over existing kinds.

Our extensive stock includes all the rarer and less known desirable plants in all classes, as well as the commoner sorts which are known to every florist. We will take pleasure in giving estimates for filling greenhouses or will send descriptions of special plants of Palms, Tree Ferns, Cycads, Orchids, etc., which

may be wanted.

We are also prepared to make selections of hardy herbaceous plants and bulbs for planting out around surburban residences, in beds and borders, or public parks and gardens, however large. Correspondence in regard to matters of this kind is invited.

CUT FLOWERS.

We are at all times prepared to send boxes of cut Orchid flowers, etc., on receipt of a letter or tele- gram. Some species or other are in blossom at any season of the year, and for special occasions the stock of the iocal florist is either inadequate or unsuitable. In the autumn and winter when our large collections of Chrysanthemums and Genistas are in blossom, we can supply cut flowers or specimen plants in flower of almost any description and in almost any quantity. We are glad to give information regarding what plants are in flower at any time.

Orchids.

Exactly according to our prediction, Orchids have taken a real hold upon the public favor, and there is no florist who can afford to be without them. Not only are they sold to the customer, but they act as an advertisement, and a two dollar Orchid plant in flower in a store or greenhouse will attract more attention

than a two-hundred dollar painted sign.

Besides being profitable, they will grow into valuable specimens,

and thus in growing them alone they will give better returns for the money invested than any other class of

plants.

The six best Orchids we can recommend to anyoneare Cattleya Triane, Cypripedium insigne,

Coelogyne cristata, Cattleya Percivaliana, Cypripedium Harrisianum and Lycaste Skinnerii. The above varieties are indispensable, and below we give those that are generally grown for cut flowers, and

which are found to be the most profitable.

This very large class of orchids has attracted more attention than any other, and, therefore, we have put them under a separate heading. It is a well-known fact that Cypripediums are the easiest of all the Orchids to grow, and they last the longest in perfection. We had flowers last in perfect order for over four months on the plants, while when cut they last three to five weeks with a little care. The colors are tich and pleasing and combine well with roses and ferns, in fact with any other flowers. We have the largest, finest and most Tone stock of these plants in the world, and recommend the following varieties to all Florists.
