ITH A BASIS of experience ripened by more than three-quarters of a
century of successful business, our old house hails the opening twen-
tieth century, with its host of old and new customers, most hopefully.
The Proprietor, having devoted a lifetime to horticulture, is con-
fident of his ability to select seeds of only such species and varieties
as are really worthy of cultivation, to the exclusion of all sorts too
frequently recommended and sold, to the serious loss and disappoint-
ment of planters. As the profession has always been pursued with a
view to a permanent business, great care is taken that supplies of
all the leading kinds of seeds shall be raised annually by careful growers, from roots or
seeds selected by the proprietor. Such seeds as are not successfully grown in our climate
are imported from the most reliable seedsmen in Europe. The purity and germinating
qualities of all important seeds are tested each year, under the proprietor’s personal
supervision.
The trial grounds of the Alfred Bridgeman seed business are located at Balmville,
Newburgh, New York, and here almost all the standard varieties of vegetables and many
flowers are tested annually. Some of the novelties (?) are here proved to be old friends
under new names, and some are found unworthy of even a second trial. The observance
of such a system may be considered a guarantee that no seeds will be offered except such
as are known to possess the most essential good qualities for general purposes.
To aid the amateur and others in making selections, some of the leading and most
desirable kinds are marked with an asterisk, thus (*).
The proprietor can here only enumerate the leading articles in his collection ; and
from a conviction that the seedsman’s fair reputation is often unjustly defamed through
failure of seeds, he would, with brevity, state seme of the causes :
First — That some cultivators, through ignorance or forgetfulness of the fact that the
products of a garden are,natives of various soils and climates, and require peculiar manage-
ment, sow their seeds at an improper season. To aid such, the most tender species,
which should not be placed in the open ground until settled warm weather, are marked
2
^lfred Bridgeman, 37 E. Nineteenth St., New York
thus (f). The half-hardy, which are subject to risk if sown when frost prevails, are
marked thus (J). The early and most hardy species and varieties should not be planted
until the ground can be brought into good condition, as some species of plants that in
an advanced state of growth will stand a hard winter are often cut off by a very slight
frost while young, especially if exposed to the heat of the sun after a frosty night. To
guard against disappointment, reserve some of the seed for a later sowing.
Second — That some species of seeds, such as Beans, Beets, Cabbage, Lettuce, Radishes,
Salsify, Turnips, etc., being, from their nature, apt to vegetate quickly, are often liable
to be devoured by insects within 48 hours after they are sown, and before a plant is seen
above ground, unless a suitable remedy is applied in time to destroy them.
Third — That some species, such as Carrots, Celery, Leeks, Onions, Parsley, Parsnips,
Spinach, etc., being naturally of tardy growth — taking (in unfavorable seasons) from two
to four weeks to vegetate — are apt to perish through incrustation of the soil, or other
circumstances which cannot always be controlled.
Fourth — That failures often occur through seeds being deposited too deep in the
ground, or left too near the surface ; sometimes for want of sufficient seed in a given
spot, solitary plants perish, lacking strength to open the pores of the earth ; and very
often injudicious management in manuring and preparing the soil will cause failures. To
insure a fair chance, plant your seeds moderately thick, and thin out the surplus plants
while young. In planting seeds in drills (which- is the most desirable plan), the size of
the seed and strength of its germ should be considered ; large seeds, producing vig-
orous roots, require deeper planting than diminutive seeds, producing delicate roots
and slender stalks ; the smallest seeds should not be covered more than a quarter of
an inch. For instructions on these and other subjects of gardening, the reader is
referred to Bridgeman’s Book on Gardening, and other works by celebrated authors, of
which a list will be found in this Catalogue.
Notwithstanding the great care used to supply every article true to name and of good
quality, nothing is warranted.
Boxes, barrels and bags used in packing will be charged for at cost prices.
It is requested that explicit directions for marking and forwarding packages accom-
pany each order. All goods will be legibly marked as directed, and delivered to vessels
in port, and railroad and express offices in the city of New York, free of expense. After
shipment, they will be at the risk of the purchaser.
The following are published annually, and mailed free to all applicants :

tions for their care and treatment. (This one.) Ready in January.

olate leaves and long-petaled chrysanthemum-like flowers.

class are very large and extremely double, with incurved
petals, giving them the appearance of the finest Japanese
chrysanthemums. Pkt. 10 cts.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR THE CULTIVATION OF ANNUAL, BIENNIAL
AND PERENNIAL FLOWERS.
Plants are known and described generally as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials.
Annuals are those plants that flower and mature their seed within a year after they are
sown, and then perish. This definition is in no way changed by the fact that many annuals
may be managed as biennials, or, in other w'ords, be sown in autumn for flowering early
the following season.
Tender Annuals are those that require heat, and will not germinate in the open ground
until settled warm weather.
Half-hardy Annuals are those which will bear a slight frost, and may be sown in the
open ground a little earlier than tender annuals.
Hardy Annuals are usually those which require no artificial heat during any period of
their growth. Every stage of their existence, from the time of sowing the seed to maturity,
is passed in the open ground.
Biennials are those plants that flower the second and sometimes the third year after
the seed is sown, and then perish.
Perennials are those plants which live and perpetuate their species throughout many
years successively.
The last two classes are again divided in respect to their endurance of low tempera-
ture, as Tender , Half-hardy and Hardy .
Tender Biennials and Perennials are greenhouse or dwelling-house plants, requiring
artificial heat to protect them from frost.
Half hardy Biennials and Perennials are those that require a slight covering of straw or
litter during cold weather.
Hardy Biennials and Perennials are those that will stand the coldest winter weather
without protection.
Soils Most Suitable. — The soil best adapted to a majority of plants is a light, friable
loam, containing a moderate quantity of vegetable matter, and enough sand to render it
porous ; but as it seldom happens that the amateur has a choice of soil, it is fortunate that
most of them will succeed in any but such as is of an extremely dry or gravelly nature, or
of a stiff, heavy, retentive quality.
Manures. — The use of strong, crude manures should be carefully avoided. In ordi-
narily good soil, an annual dressing of decomposed stable manure, dug in to the depth of
about io inches, and thoroughly incorporated with the soil, will be all that is needed.
Time Of Sowing. — With regard to the proper time of sowing flower seeds, much neces-
sarily depends on the character of the season. As a general rule (near New York city)
hardy kinds may be sown in the open ground about the middle of April, half-hardy kinds
during the first week of May, and tender kinds afier the middle of May.
The best method to obtain early flowers is to sow seeds of the most desirable tender
and half-hardy species in pots early in March. If kept in a warm greenhouse or window,
or plunged into a moderate hotbed, they will be ready to transplant to the open ground
early in May. The season of blooming will be made fully three weeks earlier thereby.
Mode Of Sowing. — Seeds may be sown in patches among the border plants in rows or
groups where they are to remain, or in a nursery bed, and afterwards transplanted. As a
(2 q)
30
^lfred Bridgeman, 37 E. Nineteenth St., New York
general rule, the surface soil should be rather dry than otherwise at the time of sowing ; the
operation must not be undertaken when the ground is very wet, especially at an early
period of spring.
The depth at which seeds should he sown will vary with their size. Large seeds, such
as Lupins, Marvel of Peru, or Sweet Peas, should be sown about half an inch deep ; medium
size seeds, such as Balsams, Convolvulus or Thunbergia, about a quarter of an inch deep ;
while such as are very small require to be sown on the actual surface, a slight pressure being
then sufficient to imbed them to a proper depth. If sown too deep, they are longer in
germinating, and the smaller ones are liable to decay through want of strength to open the
pores of the earth, In the absence of rain, water the seeds occasionally from a watering-
pot with a very fine rose.
Transplanting. — As soon as the seedlings are an inch high, they may be transplanted to
different parts of the garden. Remove the plants carefully with a small garden trowel,
retaining as much of the soil to the roots as possible. Place the large-growing kinds in the
rear, and the small in front ; above all things, avoid crowding them. Transplanting should,
if possible, be performed in cloudy weather, or towards evening : and, unless the soil is
wet, the seedlings should be slightly watered, to settle the soil about the roots, shading
them for a day or two afterwards, if necessary.
The risk and trouble of transplanting may be avoided by adopting the following
method of sowing the seeds : Take a package of say twenty varieties, and number the
bags from i to 20 ; then sow a small circle from each bag in the order in which they are
numbered, and insert a short stick in the center of each circle as a mark. By this method
the twenty varieties are distributed along the border in succession ; and as each bag will be
sufficient for about three circles, or three assortments of twTenty varieties each, they may be
sown in three different aspects of the garden, which will not only give the various flowers
the best possible chance with regard to exposure, but show the varieties to the best possible
advantage. By preserving the bags, the mere novice, by referring to the name and number
on each, will become acquainted with the different varieties from the order in which they
stand in the garden. This system may be practiced to advantage either on a large or small
scale.
Neatness is indispensable in a flower garden, and neither the variety nor beauty of the
plants will compensate for its absence. As the plants advance in growth, frequent weeding
and hoeing will be necessary, as well for the sake of neatness as to stimulate their growth.
Tie the tall-growing kinds to neat rods or sticks, and train the vines or climbers on
trellises, strings or poles.

FLOWER SEEDS.
The great interest manifested in the cultivation of flowers, and the increasing demand
for new varieties, have induced us to give particular attention to this department. In
addition to the many kinds grown here, we import annually from England, France and
Germany all the standard kinds and novelties as they appear there ; and no expense is
spared to make the collection as select and varied as any to be found in this country.
