High-Grade Seeds, Bulbs and Plants
for 19OZ

37 East 19th Street NEW YORK CITY
OR eighty-three years the Bridgeman seed business has been con-
ducted with an eye single to efficiency and the preservation of a
reputation early established for reliability and careful discrimi-
nation.
In no business do experience and reputation count for more
than in that of supplying to the cultivator the seeds upon which
he depends for the success of his season’s efforts. No fear need be felt that the
honorable estimation in which ‘‘ Bridgeman’s High-grade Seeds” is held will be
lowered in the least.
Great care is taken 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 disappointment of planters. The purity and germinating
qualities of all seeds are tested each year. 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 (*).
We can here enumerate only the leading articles in our collection; and, from a
conviction that the seedsman’s fair reputation is often unjustly defamed through failure
of seeds, we would with brevity state some 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
e

management, 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 thus (f). The half-hardy, which are subject to risk if sown when frost prevails,
are marked thus ({). 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.
SeconpD—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 forty-eight hours after they are sown, and
before a plant is seen above ground, unless a suitable remedy is applied in time to
destroy them.
TuirD—That some species, such as Carrots, Celery, Leeks, Onions, Parsley,
Parsnips, Spinach, etc., being naturally of tardy growth—taking (in unfavorable sea-
sons) 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
vigorous 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.
It is requested that explicit directions for marking and forwarding packages accom-
pany ¢ach 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.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN
FLOWER SEEDS
Chrysanthemum inodorum, Bridal Robe (Benary)
Of very compact and upright habit, and not exceeding 10 inches in height, the sturdy
plants throw out their finely feathered foliage from the base and deck themselves witha
mantle of extra-double, pure white flowers. This Chrysanthemum, coming almost true from
seed, will certainly prove a bedding-plant of the very first rank, while also useful for pot
culture, and, considering the 1ong time the flowers last when cut, we may safely predict for
this novelty an uncommonly successful career. Pkt. 25 cts.
Petunia, King Alphonso (Benary)
This fine new Petunia of the Grandiflora superbissima class, bears very large dark crim-
son flowers like those of the variety Prince of Wtirtemberg, but the petals of this novelty are
boldly waved and frilled to such an extent that the widely opened brilliant black throat of
the flower is often almost entirely concealed. Pkt. 50 cts.
Alyssum compactum, Little Dorrit
A grand improvement on the already much-grown variety Little Gem, being much more
compact. This new variety forms a perfect little bush with miniature white rocket flowers.
A perfect gem for borders or beds. Pkt. 25 cts.
Wallflower, Annual Blood-Red
This is a much improved and selected stock of the Annual Wallflower, brought out some
years since, which, although so wonderfully early, was a very poor yellow. We have ever
since been carefully selecting this, and each year getting nearer to a good blood-red, and at
last we have succeeded. It is also a larger flower than the old variety and a good blood-red
color, and if sown in March can be had in bloom in following July. Pkt. tocts. .
FOUR GRAND SWEET PEA NOVELTIES
Nora Unwin. This charming variety easily takes its place in the front rank of pure
whites, being larger, purer and of finer form. It has the same bold wavy standard as
Gladys Unwin, and, like all the progeny of same, it is true to name and does not sport.
Pkt. 25 cts.
Mrs. Alfred Watkins. A superb pale pink of Gladys Unwin type, very large
blossoms, and onevof the best for cut-blooms. Pkt. 25 cts.
Frank Dolby. A lovely pale blue, the same shade as Lady Grizel Hamilton, but very
much larger, and being also bred from Gladys Unwin, it has the same bold wavy stan-
dard and large size of its parent. It is today the largest and finest pale blue Sweet Pea.
Pkt.25. cts. ;
E. J. Castle. A magnificent addition to the Gladys Unwin class, with the same large
flowers and bold wavy standard of its parent. The color is a very rich carmine-rose with
salmon shading in the standard, and this, over and above its other merits, has a rich
striking effect, especially in artificial hght. Pkt. 25 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 inno way changed by the fact that many annuals
may be managed as biennials, or, in other words, 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. Everystage 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
vears 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.
Flalf-hardy Bienntals 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 10 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, Aa/-hardy kinds
during the first week of May, and fender kinds after 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 earlyin March. If kept ina 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
Flower Seeds, Vegetable Seeds, Grass Seeds 29
general rule, the surface soilshould 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 be sown will vary with their size. Large seeds, such
as Lupins, Marvel of Peru, or Sweet Peas, should be sown about half aninch 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; aboveall 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 1 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 circleasa 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 twenty 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
ane 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
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 ;
spared to make the collection as select and varied as any to be found i in this country.

SW EET PEAS (Lathyrus odoratus)
Through the skill of specialists the Sweet Pea has become a much larger and lovelier
flower than before it became so popular. The plants are more robust, dwarf, branching,
and bloom earlier and more freely, some varieties show-
ing three to four blooms on a stem. Many new colors,
deep, dark, brilliant and delicately lovely, have appeared
in the blossoms, often in indescribable combinations.
There are flowers, too, of quite distinct shapes, some of
which are a great improvement upon the Sweet Pea of
the old type. We have dropped some of the older varie-
ties, to give place to improved new sorts of the same
colors. Our present list contains all the best kinds intro-
duced to date. A deep, rich moist soil is best suited to
Sweet Peas. They are usually grown in double rows,
with a wire trellis, or a row of brush between. For each
double row make the drills about 5 inches deep and g or
Io inches apart. Sow plentifully, covering about 2 inches
deep, and by degrees, as the vines grow up, fill the
trenches with soil. Spring sowings should be made just as
early as the ground can be prepared; frost does not hurt ‘ Ys
the little seedlings. The earliest flowers are from seed em .\e Yy tj
sown in fall, preferably in a dry situation, and 4 or 5 YY §\ ea Tie “Ue a
inches deep, giving them level culture. As fertilizer, a oo
liberal use of bone meal worked into the soil will give excellent results.
