GREENHOUSE  PLANTS 
ORQHIDS 


To  Our  Customers 

take  pleasure  in  presenting  here  a guide  to  our  collections  of  Ever- 
green and  Deciduous  Trees  and  Shrubs,  Orchids,  Stove  and  Green- 
house Plants,  and  Hardy  Herbaceous  Perennials. 

Our  stocks  in  all  of  the  various  classes  are  extensive;  our  list 
of  exotic  plants  comprises  not  only  all  of  the  leading  varieties,  but 
also  hundreds  of  hybrids  and  horticultural  curiosities. 

QUALITY 

It  is  our  constant  aim  to  produce  specimens  as  nearly  perfect  as  they  can  be  grown,  to  send  out  only 
first-class  stock,  and  to  pack  this  stock  so  it  will  reach  our  customers  in  perfect  condition. 

In  our  Nursery  great  care  is  taken  to  secure  the  symmetrical  and  vigorous  growth  of  all  plants.  Trees 
and  Shrubs  are  grown  in  rows  widely  separated,  so  all  may  have  room  for  development.  They  are  cul- 
tivated constantly,  transplanted  frequently,  and  pruned,  sheared  and  trained  by  expert  horticulturists 
so  they  will  meet  perfectly  the  needs  of  those  who  desire  Nursery  products  of  unusual  quality.  This  stock 
may  be  transplanted  without  checking  its  growth,  and  it  will  produce  pleasing  landscape  effects  in  a re- 
markably short  time. 

With  the  increasing  interest  in  Orchids  we  have  greatly  enlarged  our  range  of  glasshouses,  and  now 
devote  more  than  60,000  square  feet  to  these  plants  alone.  As  with  all  our  other  products,  we  aim  to 
grow  Orchids  as  well  as  possible,  and  we  have  no  doubt  that  an  inspection  of  our  establishment  will  con- 
vince the  most  exacting  connoisseur  of  this  fact. 

Our  list  of  Stove  and  Greenhouse  Plants  remains  the  most  extensive  in  America.  We  offer  only  well- 
grown  plants,  which  will  please  the  most  exacting.  Because  our  collection  is  so  extensive,  we  are  in  a posi- 
tion to  fill  conservatories  with  the  choicest  kinds,  meeting  every  requirement  of  preference  or  purse.  Many 
of  these  plants  we  can  furnish  in  large  sizes,  to  give  an  immediate  effect.  We  devote  500,000  square  feet  of 
greenhouse-range  to  the  propagation  and  culture  of  plants  for  the  conservatory  or  glasshouse. 

Flowering  Shrubs  and  Roots  for  Forcing  are  one  of  our  specialties,  as  we  ourselves  force  quantities  of 
these  for  the  New  York  market.  We  are  able,  as  always,  to  supply  the  most  attractive  of  the  hardy  Hybrid 
Rhododendrons  and  other  Broad-leaved  Evergreens,  Bay  Trees,  Roses  and  Vines,  and  to  furnish  the 
most  beautiful  of  the  flowering  Herbaceous  Perennial  Plants.

Evergreens  in  our  upper  Nursery 


Evergreen  Trees 

Evergreens  are  a necessity  in  every  scheme  of  landscape  gardening,  large  or  small.  They  create  effects 
not  possible  with  any  other  trees  or  shrubbery,  and  add  a note  of  unique  beauty  to  the  landscape,  both 
in  summer  and  winter.  In  summer  to  serve  as  a contrast  to  shrubbery  and  flowers  by  the  cool,  dark  green 
of  their  foliage,  and  in  winter  to  relieve  the  otherwise  barrenness  of  the  ground.  They  are  most  efficient

Pinus.  Pine 


It  is  impossible  to  grow  good  Pines  if  planted  in  a 
wet  soil.  They  require,  more  than  any  other  ever- 
green, a dry,  well-drained  soil,  as  otherwise  they 
make  a stunted  growth  and  have  a yellow,  unhealthy 
appearance.  Planted  in  the  right  soil  they  make 
beautiful  specimens.

Taxus  • Yew 

Since  the  introduction  of  the  Japanese  Yew,  Taxus 
cuspidata,  the  Yew  has  taken  an  important  posi-

well  to  plantings  around  houses;  it  does  not  become 
a large  tree  but  simply  spreads  out.

Deciduous  Ornamental  Trees 

The  people  who  live  in  the  cities  and  towns  are  demanding  more  and  more  that  the  streets  be  planted 
with  shade  trees  which  are  both  practical  and  sightly  to  the  eye.  To  this  end  we  try  to  grow  trees  which 
answer  that  demand.  There  are  any  number  of  trees  to  be  had  at  a very  low  figure,  but  when  compared 
with  a well-grown  Nursery  product,  the  difference  in  quality  will  be  apparent  to  the  most  uncritical  layman. 
We  also  grow  specimens  for  private  estates,  where  the  main  object  is  planting  for  immediate  effect,  and 
the  results  obtained  by  using  these  are  justified  by  having  large  and  well-grown  trees  in  a year’s  time.

Berberis  Thunbergii 

Flowering  and  Evergreen  Shrubs 


The  variety  of  shrubs  is  very  great  and  they  can  be  used  in  nearly  any  situation  with  a little  judicious 
selection.  Planted  alone  they  develop  into  specimens  of  great  merit  on  account  of  their  hardiness  and 
never  growing  to  any  great  height. 

Many  of  them  have  two  seasons  of  beauty — one  in  the  spring  when  in  flower,  and  the  other  in  the  fall 
when  they  are  laden  with  berries.

Rhododendron 

This  charming  shrub  is  being  planted  more  and 
more  every  year,  as  the  people  begin  to  realize 
the  beauty  and  also  find  out  that  it  thrives  so  well 
in  shady  places  where  other  things  refuse  to  grow. 
The  one  thing  that  must  be  avoided  is  not  to  plant 
in  soil  containing  lime.

Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses  in  their  June  glory 


ROSES 

Roses,  above  all  other  plants,  require  more  care  in  preparing  the  soil  than  the  majority  of  outdoor 
plants.  A big  mistake  is  often  made  in  not  paying  enough  attention  to  the  preparation  of  the  Rose-beds. 
If  planted  in  poor,  starved  soil  the  result  will  be  poor,  weak  plants,  which  have  one  or  two  flowers  through 
out  the  summer,  and  instead  of  being  a pleasure  are  an  eyesore.  They  need  a moderately  heavy  soil  and 
plenty  of  well-rotted  cow  manure.  To  be  kept  in  good,  healthy  condition,  every  spring  the  weak  wood 
should  be  cut  out  and  the  strong  shoots  cut  back  to  within  two  or  three  eyes.  The  ordinary  garden  Roses 
are  divided  into  three  classes:  Hybrid  Perpetuals,  Hybrid  Teas  and  Teas. 


HYBRID  PERPETUAL  ROSES 

Hybrid  Perpetuals  are  very  hardy  and  of  vigorous 
growth.  They  form  magnificent,  sturdy  bushes, 
the  foliage  of  which,  in  many  cases,  is  very  hand- 
some. They  bloom  all  summer,  but  because 
they  flower  more  profusely  in  June  they  are  often 
called  June  Roses. 

Strong,  2-year-old  stock,  35c.  each,  $30  per  100;  2-year- 
old  pot-grown  plants,  50c.  each,  $40  per  100

HYBRID  TEA  ROSES 

The  Hybrid  Teas  combine  the  free-flowering 
habit  of  the  Tea  Roses,  with  the  comparative  hardi- 
ness of  other  sorts.  They  represent  every  color  and 
shade,  and  are  exceedingly  sweet-scented.  They 
give  a profusion  of  flowers  all  summer  and  until 
the  frost  comes. 

Strong,  2-year-old  stock,  40c.  each,  $35  per  100;  2-year-

These  are  used  for  covering  banks,  walls  and

what  can  be  done  with  our  pot-grown  plants.

showy  as  the  other. 

*Hiawatha.  (Hybrid  Wichuraiana.)  This  is  one

Perennial  and  Herbaceous  Plants  JULIUS  ROEHRS  CO.,  RUTHERFORD,  N.  J. 


In  this  class  will  be  found  all  the  old-fashioned  flowers  which  our  grandmothers  and  great-grand- 
mothers were  so  fond  of,  and  to  which  poets  and  writers  of  fiction  are  continually  referring  us.  Take,  for 
instance,  the  Canterbury  Bells,  Foxgloves,  Trollius,  Candytuft,  Primrose  and  innumerable  other  varieties 
which  have  been  known  for  years,  which  can  be  planted  in  the  smallest  garden.  There  is  now  the  additional 
advantage  of  our  being  able  to  obtain  improvements  on  the  old  types,  with  larger  flowers  and  better  colors, 
due  to  the  forward  movement  in  horticulture  in  the  past  few  years. 

Like  most  plants,  perennials  require  well-cultivated  soil,  which  should  be  kept  clear  of  weeds  after 
the  plants  are  put  in  the  ground.  They  require,  outside  of  that,  a fall  and  spring  mulching  of  well-rotted 
stable  manure,  applied  very  lightly. 


ACANTHUS.  Bear's  Breech.  Very  imposing  per- 
ennials with  fine  foliage.  Should  be  planted  on 
rocky  banks  and  in  borders,  and  can  also  be 
planted  in  partly  shaded  places,  as  they  will

Asters 

Starwort,  or  Michaelmas  Daisy 
The  perennial,  or  Michaelmas  Daisy  is  becoming 
a greater  favorite  every  year  on  account  of  its  pro- 
fusion of  flowers  coming,  as  they  do,  in  the  middle 
of  summer  and  late  fall.  To  simplify  selection  for 
customers  we  have  arranged  them  in  three  classes: 
The  first  commences  to  flower  the  end  of  July;  the 
second  in  August,  and  the  third  in  October. 

Three-inch,  strong,  pot-grown  plants,  which  will 
flower  the  first  year,  15  cts.  each,  $1.25  per  doz.,  $10 
per  100,  unless  otherwise  noted.

flowers  are  cut  off  by  frost.  These  varieties  have 
been  selected  from  an  immense  list  and  are  un-

Fruits  Under  Glass 


Fruits  Under  Glass 


Grapes 

Houses. — The  ideal  greenhouse  for  Grape-vines 
is  an  even-span  house  running  north  and  south, 
about  ioo  feet  long  and  25  to  30  feet  wide,  divided 
into  three  sections  of  equal  length;  of  course  the 
size  depends  altogether  upon  the  quantity  of  fruit 
desired.  By  dividing  the  house  into  three  sections, 
it  gives  you  early,  medium  and  late  fruit,  which 
covers  practically  the  whole  season,  from  May  1 
until  January  1. 

Border. — The  border  is  the  most  important  part 
of  Grape-culture,  as  upon  the  proper  making  of 
one  depends  the  whole  future  of  the  vine.  The  main 
question  is  the  drainage;  if  the  house  has  been 
built  on  high  ground,  it  is  much  simplified.  Dig  a 
trench  in  the  house  at  least  4 feet  deep  and  the  width 
of  the  house;  then  cement  the  bottom,  pitching  it 
toward  the  center  from  both  sides  about  6 inches, 
and  have  the  center  pitch  to  whatever  end  you  can 
best  drain  from.  Fill  in  on  this  about  15  inches  of 
brickbats,  broken  crock,  charcoal,  etc.,  which  gives 
you  about  9 inches  on  the  side,  having  the  top  level. 
Then  fill  in  the  lower  layer  with  sod  inverted,  filling 
in  with  a good  rose  soil,  adding  coarse  bone  meal  in 
the  bottom  and  finer  for  the  top,  depending  al- 
together on  the  requirements  of  the  soil. 


Muscat  of  Alexandria  Grapes 


Black  Hamburg.  (Sweetwater  Grape.)  One  of 
the  easiest  and  best  to  grow;  adapts  itself  to  early, 
medium  or  late  houses;  good  keeper;  free  cropper. 
Black  Alicante.  (Vinous  Grape.)  At  one  time 
this  was  the  greatest  favorite  and  is  still  planted 
for  exhibition  purposes,  as  it  has  massive  bunches 
^of  excellent  color  and  bloom. 

umickland  Sweetwater.  (Sweetwater  Grape.)  A 
round  white  Grape;  ripens  about  the  same  time 
as  Black  Hamburg  and  is  valuable  for  early  use. 

•Roster’s  Seedling.  (Sweetwater  Grape.)  A very 
robust  grower,  good  setter  and  hangs  well.  A 
white  seedling  of  Buckland  Sweetwater. 

Gros  Guillaume;  syn.,  Barbarossa.  (Vinous 
Grape.)  Produces  exceptionally  large  bunches 
and  has  large,  round,  black  berries.  Late. 


Grapes,  continued 

Gros  Maroc.  (Vinous  Grape.)  An  excellent  va- 
riety, the  fruit  being  almost  as  large  as  that  of 
Gros  Colman.  Fruit  intense  black  with  a heavy 
bloom.  Late  variety. 

Gros  Colman.  This  is  the  standard  black  Grape  for 
late  work.  It  is  of  easy  culture  and  always  full  of 
bunches.  Should  not  be  started  later  than  the 
first  of  April. 

Madresfield  Court.  (Muscat  Grape.)  This  is  one 
of  the  oldest  varieties,  having  been  planted  for 
the  last  forty  or  fifty  years.  It  is  a black  Grape, 
with  large  berries.  It  does  not  require  strong  heat 
and  just  as  good  results  can  be  obtained  in  a late 
house  as  in  an  early  one. 

Muscat  of  Alexandria.  (Muscat  Grape.)  One  of 
the  oldest  varieties  and  of  exceptional  merit. 
Should  be  planted  in  a house  by  itself,  but  can  be 
grown  in  a mixed  house;  responds  very  readily 
to  good  treatment,  but  it  must  not  be  neglected. 
The  fruit  when  ripe  is  pale  amber  in  color. 

Those  most  suitable  for  pot  culture  are  Black 
Hamburg,  Foster’s  Seedling,  Madresfield  Court  and 
Gros  Colman. 

Strong,  pot-grown  Grapes,  $60  per  doz. 

Peaches  and  Nectarines 

Peaches  and  Nectarines,  being  so  similar,  require 
practically  the  same  treatment,  and  we  shall,  there- 
fore, treat  them  under  one  head. 

Houses. — They  require  about  the  same  kind  of 
house  as  grapes.  The  house  can  also  be  divided  into 
three  compartments  for  early,  medium  and  late 
varieties. 

Borders. — They  do  not  require  as  large  a border 
as  grape-vines.  If  the  border  is  3 feet  deep  and 
4 feet  wide  it  is  sufficient.  They  do  not  like  a heavy 
soil,  but  a sandy  loam  and  very  well  drained. 

Kind  of  Plants. — For  planting  in  the  border, 
you  can  buy  the  plants  trained  to  the  proper  shape, 
but  a much  better  method  is  to  obtain  a pot-grown, 
bushy  tree  which,  with  very  little  labor,  can  be 
trained  any  way  you  want  it,  with  the  additional 
advantage  of  having  a tree  which  is  not  retarded  in 
growth,  and  will  start  right  into  growth.  These 
trees  may  also  be  grown  in  pots  with  the  advantage 
of  being  able  to  bring  them  in  a good  deal  earlier. 

Peaches 

EARLY  HOUSE 

Hale’s  Early.  This  is  a fairly  easy  grower  and  has 
large  fruit. 

Early  Beatrice.  Small  fruit,  with  marbled  red 
cheek;  flesh  melting  and  juicy;  very  early. 
Peregrine.  Is  a distinct  midseason  variety  and 
one  of  the  finest  forcing  Peaches  for  color,  rich- 
. ^ness  of  flavor  and  free  cropping. 

^Alexander  Noblesse.  This  is  a very  good  forcing 
variety;  the  flavor  is  rich  and  juicy. 

Duke  of  York.  Large  and  well  colored;  good 
flavor. 

MIDSEASON  HOUSE 

Early  Rivers.  Large  fruit;  pale  straw  in  color, 
with  delicate  pink  cheek. 

Peregrine.  Large  and  of  beautiful  color  and  fine 
flavor.

excellent  quality.

improved  by  growing  under  glass.

Trained  Fruit  Trees  and  Plants 


Trained  Fruit  Trees  and  Plants 

These  are  usually  planted  in  the  kitchen-garden  along  trellises  and  against  stone  walls.  The  south 
wall  is  always  preferable  to  the  others.  They  can  also  be  used  for  planting  in  the  border  in  the  greenhouse, 
but  it  is  more  advisable  for  greenhouse  work  to  use  the  pot-grown  pyramidal  plants,  as  these  can  be  trained

The  following  list  of  fruit  trees  we  have  found  to  give  the  best  satisfaction,  provided  a moderate 
amount  of  care  is  taken  in  planting  and  cultivating  the  trees  after  being  planted.  We  give  below  a few 
hints  as  to  care,  etc. 

Pruning.  Before  planting  trees,  shorten  half  of  last  year’s  growth,  to  balance  up  what  the  tree  has 
lost  in  its  root-system  by  being  transplanted. 

Soil.  All  fruit  trees,  as  a rule,  do  not  grow  well  in  wet  or  poorly  drained  soil.  They  do  best  in  good 
farm  soil  such  as  is  used  to  grow  wheat,  corn,  etc. 

Planting.  The  trees  should  always  be  planted  in  a hole  large  enough  to  allow  the  roots  to  be  spread 
out  without  cramping  them.  Then  when  the  tree  is  held  in  its  proper  position  the  top-soil  should  be  placed 
around  the  roots  and  great  care  taken  that  it  is  worked  in  well  among  the  small  roots;  then  firm  it  thor- 
oughly with  the  foot. 


Apples 

Apples  having  been  planted  extensively  for  so 
many  years  require  little  introduction.  In  orchard 
planting  they  should  stand  about  30  feet  apart, 
whereas  in  the  home-grounds  they  can  be  planted 
10  to  15  feet  apart.

Senator  Dunlap.  Medium  early  and  makes  a 
long  season.  It  is  probably  planted  more  exten- 
sively than  any  other  variety  at  present.  Should 
be  planted  about  twice  as  far  apart  as  most  va- 
rieties, to  do  its  best.  The  plants  have  very  long 
roots  and  a surprising  capacity  for  enduring 
drought  and  all  kinds  of  hardship.  The  berries 
are  very  firm,  and  retain  their  brightness  after 
traveling  long  distances. 

Twilley.  Medium  early.  It  makes  large  plants 
with  laige  crowns  and  vigorous  foliage,  and  the 
berry  is  large,  firm,  good  and  a great  keeper. 
Uncle  Jim.  Also  called  Dornan.  It  makes  im- 
mense plants,  and  roots  that  are  a wonder  for 
length  and  abundance,  and  yields  great  crops  of 
large  berries  which  hold  their  size  well.  The 
fruit  is  blight  red  and  firm,  with  light  red  flesh;  the 
quality  is  good,  much  above  the  average. 
Fendall.  Early.  A Maryland  berry.  It  is  a won- 
derful grower,  with  large  foliage  and  long  roots. 
The  fruit  is  immensely  large;  in  color  and  flavor 
it  is  all  that  could  be  desired.  As  to  yield  it  is 
remarkably  prolific.  Its  season  of  ripening  is 
very  long,  covering  a period  of  forty  days.  On 
this  account,  as  well  as  for  its  fine  flavor,  it  is 
excellent  for  home-gardens. 

Glen  Mary.  Early.  It  is  vigorous  in  growth, 
making  large  plants,  which  are  exceedingly  pro- 
ductive. On  this  account,  together  with  the 
great  size,  brilliant  color,  good  flavor  and  firm 
texture  of  the  fruit,  is  has  made  its  way  to  pop- 
ularity, notwithstanding  its  irregular  form. 
Sample.  Late.  It  was  introduced  about  a dozen 
years  ago,  and  has  been  one  of  the  leading  late 
varieties  ever  since.  The  plants  are  strong,  with 
long  roots,  and  are  exceedingly  prolific.  The 
fruit  is  large,  roundish,  conical,  bright  red  through- 
out, moderately  firm,  and  fairly  good.

Specimen  Orange  Trees 

We  often  import  large  trees  that 
have  been  grown  for  years  innumer-

and  adorned  their  gardens.  These 
trees  are  extremely  ornamental, 
especially  so  when  producing  the 
much-coveted  orange  blossoms  and 
when  bearing  fruit.  Specimen  Orange  Tree 

The  longevity  of  these  trees  is 

also  most  remarkable.  At  Versailles,  France,  St.  Sabina  Convene,  Rome,  and  at  Cordova,  Spain,  there  are 
Orange-trees  several  hundred  years  old.  Full  descriptions  with  prices  will  be  given  on  application.

Gold  Medal  Group,  which  won  for  us  the  $1,000  prize  at  the  Boston  Orchid  Show 


Orchid  Department 

Of  all  the  flowers  which  Mother  Nature  has  given  us  to  satisfy  our  longings  to  grow  her  rare  and 
beautiful  creations,  to  embellish  our  homes  with  their  fresh  loveliness  of  form  and  color,  or  for  personal 
adornment,  there  is  none  to  compare  with  the  Orchid. 

In  no  other  member  of  the  Flower  Kingdom  are  there  such  wondrous  combinations  of  form,  color  and 
texture.  No  other  flower  so  persistently  appeals  to  the  refined  taste  of  those  to  whom  Orchids  have  become 
a passion.  In  no  other  flower  can  there  be  found  such  charming  grace,  nor  such  exquisite  perfume,  varying 
from  the  faint,  delicate  fragrance  of  some  of  the  Dendrobiums  to  the  delicious  and  almost  overpowering 
odor  of  the  Aerides  and  Epidendrums. 

Contrary  to  the  generally  mistaken  opinion,  Orchids  are  by  no  means  difficult  to  grow  to  their  fullest 
perfection.  With  properly  grown  and  well-established  plants,  such  as  we  supply,  their  cultivation  is  as 
simple  and  easy  as  that  of  the  ordinary  greenhouse  plant.  Another  prevalent  error  is  that  the  Orchid  is 
exclusively  a “rich  man’s  flower.”  This  is  by  no  means  the  case,  for  many  of  the  varieties  are  relatively 
inexpensive,  and  it  is  possible,  by  the  expenditure  of  a very  limited  amount  of  money,  to  have  a collection 
of  Orchids  of  superlative  beauty.  Naturally  they  require  the  proper  kind  of  house,  the  correct  receptacles 
and  material  in  which  to  grow,  care  in  watering  and  temperature,  and  other  attention  which  must  be 
given  to  all  growing  things.  Given  these,  the  Orchid  will  reward  the  grower  most  abundantly. 

Orchids  require  plenty  of  light  and  air,  but  must  not  be  exposed  to  the  full  sun;  the  proper  shading  of 
the  Orchid  house  in  summer  is  very  essential.  All  the  necessary  details  of  Orchid-growing  can  be  had  from 
many  of  the  practical  books  on  the  subject,  a list  of  which  will  be  found  on  page  75.

CATTLEYA 

The  Cattleyas  are  among  the  best  known  and  most  popular  of  all  Orchids,  being  used  in  ever- 
increasing  quantities  for  decoration  wherever  flowers  are  desired.  They  range  through  a bewildering  vari- 
ation in  color,  are  deliciously  fragrant  and  most  entrancing  in  form.  They  thrive  best  in  a temperate 
house,  with  plenty  of  moisture.  They  can  be  grown  in  pots,  pans  and  baskets  in  fibrous  peat,  with  proper 
drainage.  While  they  require  shading  from  the  strong  sun  in  summer,  dark  houses  should  be  avoided, 
and  air  should  be  .admitted  whenever  possible.

CYPRIPEDIUM 

This  most  interesting  branch  of  the  Orchid  family  is  composed  of  many  varieties  and  an  almost  unlimited 
number  of  hybrids,  of  bewildering  variation  in  form  and  color,  and  offers  a bountiful  field  of  enjoyment 
to  the  amateur.  The  Cypripediums  are  terrestrial  Orchids,  and  grow  best  in  a temperate  house,  on  the  shady 
side,  with  plenty  of  moisture  and  air.  They  should  be  potted  in  a compost  of  fibrous  peat  and  sphagnum 
moss,  with  a small  quantity  of  fibrous  loam.  They  are  of  the  easiest  culture  and  bloom  in  the  greatest 
profusion.  Many  of  this  class  are  extremely  low  in  price  and  offer  untold  enjoyment  to  the  Orchid-lover

DENDROBIUMS 

The  Dendrobiums  belong  to  a very  large  genus  of  epiphytal  Orchids,  widely  distributed,  and  varying 
greatly  in  character  and  habit,  some  being  dwarf  and  tufted,  but  3 inches  high,  while  others  carry  pseudo- 
bulbs 3 to  4 feet  high.  They  grow  best  in  pans  or  baskets,  hung  near  the  glass,  in  a mixture  of  fibrous  peat 
and  sphagnum  moss.  Care  should  be  taken  in  giving  them  the  smallest  possible  pans  or  baskets,  as  they  are 
very  sensitive  to  overpotting.  With  a few  exceptions  the  Dendrobiums  require  plenty  of  heat  and  moisture. 
When  their  growth  is  completed,  they  require  cooler  treatment,  with  plenty  of  light  and  air,  followed  by  a 
season  of  rest.

ONCIDIUM 


The  Oncidiums  are  epiphytal  Orchids  of  rare  beauty,  great  variation  in  form  and  color,  and  are  most 
prolific  bloomers.  Being  natives  of  Mexico,  Peru  and  the  West  Indies,  they  grow  best  in  a temperature 
of  from  50  to  55  degrees,  and  require  plenty  of  air  and  moisture  during  growth.  They  may  be  grown  in 
pots,  pans  or  baskets,  in  a mixture  of  fibrous  peat  and  sphagnum  moss,  and  water  must  be  given  sparingly, 
but  not  withheld  when  their  growth  is  completed.

HYBRID  ORCHIDS 

Brassocattleya,  Brassocattlaelia,  Brassolaelia,  Cattleya,  Cymbidium,  Cypripedium, 

Odontoglossum,  Odontioda,  etc. 

Orchid  hybridization  dates  back  to  1856,  when  the  first  one  raised  was  exhibited  in  London.  Gradually 
others  were  raised,  but  during  the  next  twenty  years  probably  not  more  than  twenty-five  different  hybrids 
were  shown.  Later  on,  many  commercial  and  private  establishments  took  up  the  work  of  Orchid  hybrid- 
ization in  such  earnest,  and  with  such  astonishing  results,  that  the  number  now  is  legion. 

Remarkable  results  have  been  obtained  by  crossing  different  genera — see  Odontioda,  Sophrocattleya, 
etc.  The  chief  consideration  in  hybridizing  Orchids  is  the  selection  of  the  parents;  and,  even  when  this 
is  done,  the  results  vary  to  a great  extent.  It  is,  therefore,  always  advisable  to  buy  these  plants  when 
they  are  in  bloom,  or  those  that  have  flowered  and  have  proved  to  be  good.

The  magnificent  display  our  plants  make  when  grown  in  the  conservatory 


Stove  and  Greenhouse  Plants 


We  have  for  years  been  growing  a great  variety  of  these  plants,  and  by  continually  adding  to  our 
collection,  we  have  today  the  finest  in  America. 

These  plants,  with  ever- varying  foliage  and  habit  of  growth,  a good  many  of  them  bearing  beautiful 
flowers,  add  the  necessary  luster  and  beauty  to  the  conservatory,  and  are  an  everlasting  pleasure  to  the 
amateur.  They  are  quite  as  easily  grown  as  any  others. 

Many  of  these  plants  enumerated  are  climbers  and  creepers  most  desirable  for  decorating  walls  or -trel- 
lises, others  of  a trailing  habit  lend  themselves  finely 
to  basket-work. 

Many  can  be  had  in  small  sizes  at  moderate  cost. 

We  also  always  have  a number  of  specimen 
plants  on  hand  to  produce  immediate  effect,  and 
anyone  building  a conservatory  and  wishing  to  stock 
it  with  really  choice  plants  would  do  well  to  com-

Roses  and  Carnations  for  Greenhouse  Culture 

We  are  at  all  times  ready  to  supply  all  the  known  new  and  commercial  varieties.  Special  lists,  with 
prices,  will  be  sent  on  application. 


PALMS 


All  Palms  are  ornamental,  and  many  varieties,  being  of  a majestic  yet  graceful  growth,  are  indis- 
pensable in  conservatories.  Of  high  decorative  value,  they  produce  an  effect,  whether  used  in  parlor,  hall 
or  greenhouse,  not  to  be  obtained  by  any  other  plant. 

We  carry  a large  assort- 
ment, especially  in  the  commer- 
cial varieties,  like  Kentia,  Phoe- 
nix, Areca,  Cocos,  etc.,  but 
our  list  includes  also  many 
of  the  rarer  varieties.  We  al- 
ways have  on  hand  large  speci- 
mens. Full  descriptions  and 
prices  will  be  cheerfully  for- 
warded on  application.

Sweet-scented  Water-Lilies 


Water-Lilies 

Owing  to  the  gorgeous  colors  and  diversity  of  forms  in  this  class  of  plants,  they  are  universally  ad- 
mired. In  our  large  public  parks  and  on  our  finest  private  estates,  the  space  devoted  to  these  is  always 
sure  to  attract  its  share  of  attention. 

America  is  fortunate  in  being  the  most  highly  favored  country  in  the  world  for  the  cultivation  of  all 
classes  of  aquatics.  From  April  to  October  we  may  have  a rich  and  continuous  display  without  artificial 
heat,  and  from  the  Nymphaeas  in  early  spring  until  late  fall  a constant  supply  of  new  flowers  may  be  had, 
varying  in  color  from  white  and  pink  to  the  more  brilliant  shades  of  red,  carmine  and  crimson. 

The  hardy  varieties  should  be  planted  in  May  in  this  latitude,  but  the  more  tender  ones  should  not 
be  put  out  until  the  middle  of  June,  when  the  weather  is  much  warmer  and  more  settled. 

Always  keep  the  pond  well  filled  with  water  but  avoid  springs  or  running  streams,  as  they  tend  to 
lower  the  temperature  to  a dangerous  degree.  We  list  below  the  best  varieties  known  to  cultivation.
