ENGRAVERS AND PRINTERS, MIL. ae Na. eB. ge S Ces G, AR) mab 4 a f £ eo Sp aes 4 2 E have endeavored to make our catalogue as complete and compact as possible, avoiding all lenghty descriptions or the presentation of innumerable old time varieties, which in the natural march of events have been superseded by newer and better sorts, except where such -have become standard varieties, also avoiding many newer varieties, with wonderful descriptions, which we have not vet been convinced of Hees any real merits over standard varieties. In looking over this Catalogue and comparing prices, we ask you to bear in mind that our stock is grown for first-class garden work for the finest gardens in our citv and through the state. This is the principal part of our plant business, while most catalogues are made up for what is understood as the mail trade. The plants thus offered are small cuttings, which are quite satisfactory for some purposes and requirements, and will appear at first glance to be much cheaper, but considering the quality and condition of our stock, it is not doing us justice to compare prices dollar for dollar. Our prices are very low for what we furnish. RECOMMENDATIONS. Should any of our customers have friends requiring seeds, to whoma copy of our catalogue would be acceptable, we shall fee! obliged if they will send their name and address. Shall also esteem it a favor if our customers, on changing their resi- dence, will kindly furnish us with their new address. In ordéring, please write vour Name, Post Office, County and State in full, . Where express or freight oftice is different from P. O., give both. _ As we don’t keep anv book accounts in the mail department of our business, please send the money with the order. Remit by Postal Note, Money Order, Registered Letter, Express, pre- paid, or draft on Milwaukee, Chicago or New York. ; Our usual care will be observed in putting up all our orders, large or small, to give full satisfaction to the purchaser in the quality of the article as well as in the manner of packing and forwarding. While the greatest care is exercised in growing and sending out the seeds, which reduces the-chances of an error almost to an impossibility, at the same time the responsibility of warranting the purity or growth of any seeds sent out is not undertaken. Yours Truly, G. B. WHITNALL & GO. Wy, LIS Bae \) “GENERA FLOWER SEEDS. ANNUALS grow, bloom and die the first year from seed. BIENNIALS bloom the second year from seed, and then die; though many, if sown early in the spring, will flower the first year. PERENNIALS usually bloom the second year from seed, and continue to grow and bloom for many years. Some will also bloom the first year if sown early. HARDY Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the spring, if desired, and Biennialsand Perennials will not require any protection in winter. HALF HARDY Annuals, Biennials and Perennials cannot be sown in open ground until settled warm weather, though they can be sown in the house if desired early, and afterwards transplanted. The two latter need to be protected in the winter, or carried over until spring in cold frames or green-houses. All Flower Seeds sent free by mail on receipt of price.

THOUGH it has not been done to any extent, it is quite certain that the wild and free effect of the hedgerows of England, which during the season are aglow with Corn Cockles, Fox- gloves, Poppies, and a multitude of lovely flowers, which charm every one with their beauty and fragrance, can be reproduced in this country by a little care and the liberal use of plants adapted to our climate. Charming effects can be made by a combination of Larkspurs and Nasturtiums, Coreopsis and Poppies, or Godetias and Calendulas, or all can be mixed together and scattered over rough places, thereby making that which is unsightly appear attractive. Shrubbery and the edges of woodlands would look more cheerful were they sown with Foxgloves, Everlasting Sweet Peas, Lupins, ete., which would thrive in sucha situation, and 2 CB WHIBNA Li Saco: provide plenty of bloom where otherwise there would only be a mass of foliage. Shady places can be toned up with Swan River Daisies, Asters, Myosotis, or a sunny knoll with yellow Columbines in spring or dazzling Poppies in midsummer. The combinations which can be made are nearly endless, and vary greatly with soil and situation. For sowing in shrubbery, under trees and in beds on which no care will be bestowed, or even for sowing in exposed situations where wildness is preferred to order and precision, we offer a mixture of the various flower seeds that are suitable for the puspose. The mixture comprises Mignonette, Candytuft, Larkspur, Marigolds, Poppies, Foxgloves, and many other garden tavorites which will flower successively and yield an abundance of bloom.

When the flowers are ready to expand the least moisture causes the calyx to expand, and the pollen is thrown out with great force to the distance of nearly a foot. By putting a plant, when in flower, quickly in a vessel of warm water, these discharges will be rapidly kept up for some minutes. A perfect representation of minia- . “ture artillery, both in sound and smoke. The plant is easily grown in pots or bedded out in RNY turrets. Fancy Leaved Caladiums.

We have all the leading kinds, grown expressly for fall flowering. The Very Newest Varieties. Exhibited at the November shows, and now offerred for the first time. New Chrysanthemum, Elk’s Horn.
