CONCERNING OUR PLACE AND BUSINESS.

Bay View is located in the western portion of HillsboroughCounty,on a narrow peninsula formed
by Old Tampa Bay on the east, and the Gulf of Mexico on the west, and, as it is but little over five miles
wide at the narrowest point, it is almost anisland; this vast body of water on each side of us serves to
temper the atmosphere so that in summer it rarely exceeds 92 degrees Fahrenheit in the hottest part
of the day, and the nights are almost invariably cool and pleasant.

In the winter this body of water being warmer than the atmosphere, so tempers the cold winds from
the north that even light frosts are a rarity, and it will readily be seen how we are enabled to grow
plants at the very lowest cost, as we are saved the enormous outlay for glass structures, and the still
greater expense of heating them from five to seven months of the year.

Our customers get the benefit of this saving in larger and stronger plants, and in most instances at
less than one-half the cost of the same plants if grown north.

Our nurseries cover about eleven acres solid, our tender plants being grown in light frame houses
covered either with lathing or burlaps as a protection from the sun.

We send plants to all parts of the world, and our system of packing is such that plants are almost
invariably received in the best possible condition.

2 Rk. D. HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLA.

We guarantee the safe arrival of plants either by mail or express, and should any of them be dead
on arrival, we will, if notified at once, replace same, but at the purchasers’ expense for carriage.

We aim to fill all orders promptly, correctly, and with strong healthy plants, and we try in every
way, to give entire satisfaction in every respect, and that we have done so is evinced by the numerous
orders received through the recommendations of our customers to their friends.

Our means of transportation are by steamboat from Bay View to Port Tampa, where connections
are made with the South Fla. R. R., and the Plant Line of steamships to Mobile, Galveston, Central
America and the West Indies. We have,therefore, every facility for the direct shipment of our goods.

We never substitute one plant for another without consent of purchaser, but permission to do so
will always be appreciated, as it sometimes happens that we may be out of a particular variety, and if
the purchaser will mention some other plant that we may substitute, it often saves trouble and delay.
Even in the largest establishments it is impossible to keep a full stock of everything at all times, es-
pecially when so large an assortment is grown.

We grow plants both in pots and open ground, using pots for all plants that are difficult to trans-
plant, such as palms, some tropical fruits, and all tender greenhouse plants. We, however, make no
difference in prices between pot and open ground-grown plants, and in filling an order, we do so with
the idea of giving our customers the very best possible chance of success with the plants he receives.

Please note our prices; they will be found as low as consistent with the production of first-class
plants, and we especially invite those who have greenhouses in the North to correspond with us. It

References.—Those desiring references as to our responsibility can get the desired information
either from Dun’s Agency or L. L. Spafford, Esq., cashier Commercial Bank of Tampa.

This catalogue is designed to cover a wide field, from the gardens and groves of the South to the
lawns and conservatories of the North and West.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS.

By mail we send anything in this catalogue postpaid at prices quoted, provided it is not too large
to be mailed.

By express we do not pay charges; but larger plants will always be sent when ordered byexpress
and enough added gratis to about cover the charges; some heavy things may be sent by freight when |
the distance is short, though we assume no responsibility for safe carriage of the latter.

Boxing and Packing is done free of charge, and we study our customers’ interests by using the
lightest packages consistent with strength, thereby reducing charges for weight to the lowest point.

Purchasers should forward money with their order, and at our risk only when sent by Post-office
Money Order (on Tampa) or Postal Note, Greenbacks or Silver by Registered letter, or by a Bank
Draft on New York or Express Money Order.

Do not send stamps in payment for goodsif it can possibly be avoided; the least moisture causes
them to stick together, and to the order, and causes us a great deal of trouble. :

Be sure and write your order plainly as well as your name and address, and state whether you de-
sire plants by mail or express.

Discounts.—We make the following discounts for those who want togetup a club, or order largely
for their own use, and considering the low prices at which our plants are offered, this may certainly be
considered very liberal.

Those sending $2.00 can select plants amounting to $2.20

class of plants has attracted any attention as suita-

ble subjects for pot culture in small conservatories, but experience has proved that many of them are
not only easily grown, but that they are among the most interesting of plants, and will grow and pro-

duce fruit under ordinary greenhouse treatment,
Heretofore the very high prices demanded for most of them have debarred all but the wealthy

dow.

while some will flourish in an ordinary sunny win-

from the pleasure of growing them. To meet the popular demand, we have grown an enormous
stock, and we are now prepared to offer them at such low prices that everyone may indulge their

fancy for rare plants, at a small outlay.

NYALLIGATOR or AVOCADO PEAR.

(Persea gratissima. )

Atree of rapid growth, attaining eventually a very
large size, but begins fruiting when but four or five
years old. Fruit very large, pear shaped, green or
purple in color; flesh buttery, with a delicate nutty
flavor; is much in demand in all the southern cities,
and of late has become very popular in New York;
stands shipment well. Fine plants, 60 cents each;

_ larger, four to five feet, $1 each.

'Y BANANA and PLANTAIN. (J/usa.)

These make elegant decorative plants for the lawn
insummer. The growthis very rapid, andthe immense
dark green leaves are very striking. Just before frost
if the leaves are cut off and the plant dug up and
placed in the cellar with the roots ina box of dry
earth, they will winter as easily as cannas, and the
next spring may be planted out with the expectation
of seeing them bloom and fruit; of course if space
can be spared to grow them inside, they may be
grown right on through the winter, and the dwarf
varieties do not require such a great amount of space.

. Dwarf Banana (Musa Cavendishti). Compar-
atively dwarf, growing to a height of 5 to 6 feet;
very strong and robust; yield of fruit enormous
(sometimes as many as 200 on a bunch) ; flavor ex-
cellent; should be cut just before the fruit turns,
as if left longer it will split ; the flavor by so doing is
not impaired in the least. Strong pla

press, 50 cents each.

\v Rea Jamaica or Baracoa. The long red Banana
of commerce; very tall growing, reaching a height
of 20 feet ; stem and leaf stalks a dark dull red; one
of the most magnificent of the genus; skin of fruit a
rich, dark red ; flesh yellow, and of fine flavor ; ex-
cellent. 60 cents each, 3 for $1.50; very large plants

stalks and mid-rib beauti-
fully shaded with pinkish

red. «so cents each, by ex-
press only.
W Golden or Tahiti (2).

“Brought from Nassau by
John Gomez, to Pumpkin
Key, near Cape Romano. A
most magnificent plant,
equaling the Red Jamaica in
height. Fruit described to
us as large as the Horse
Banana, very round and plump, blunt at the end;
color, yellow ; flavor surpassing that of any Banana
ever tasted on the South Florida Keys. In appear-
ance the plants are Hart’s Choice on a large scale.’’
$1.25 each, three for $3.25; extra large, by express,
$1.75 each.
Orinoco or Horse Banana. The most common-
y cultivated of any Banana through the middle and
south part of Florida; fruit of excellent quality if
allowed to get thoroughly ripe on the stalk; the
hardiest Banana grown, and one of the best for dec-
orative purposes, as the plants being very low pric-
ed, they may be planted in large clumps. 20 cents
each, 6 for $1; large plants, by express, 30 cents each,
4 for $1.
IMplantata or Pisang. This species is cultivated
thoroughout the tropics, where it is used more asa
vegetable than as a fruit, being cooked in various
ways; the fruit is large, being from 12 to 15 inches in
length; the plant is very ornamental, and grows toa
height of 20 feet ; the young leaves are spotted and
blotched purple. $1 each.
N Fig Banana. Fruit small, dark purple in color,
and of delicious flavor ; a very distinct sort. 65cents
each, 2 for $1.20.

j= SPECIAL OFFER. For only $4 we will
send one plant each of the eight varieties, amounting
at single rates to $4.85, or for $4.20 we will send the
setin larger plants by express, at purchaser’s expense,

BREAD-FRUIT.

(For species of Musa that are grown as
ornamental plants only, see Miscellaneous De-
partment.

“\/BREAD-FRUIT TREE.
(Artocarpus inctsa.)

This is the most important food staple of the trop-
ical islands in the Pacific ocean. The tree attains
a moderate height, has very large, acutely lobed
glossy leaves; the male flowers in spikes, and the
female flowers in a dense head, which, by consolida-
tion of their fleshy carpels and receptacles, form the
fruit; the fruit is globular in shape, about the size of
a melon, with tuberculated or (in some varieties)
nearly smooth surface. It may be cooked and pre-
pared for use in a great variety of ways, the common
practice in the South Sea Islands being to bake it
entire in hot embers, and scoop out the interior,
which, when properly cooked, should have a soft,
smooth consistence, with a taste which has been com-
pared to that of boiled potatoes and sweet milk. Mr.
A. R. Wallace, in his Malay Archipelago, says:
““With meat and gravy it is a vegetable superior to
anything I know, either in temperate or tropical
countries ; with sugar, milk, butter or treacle it isa
delicious pudding, having a very slight and delicate
but characteristic flavor, which, like that of good
bread and potatoes, one never gets tired of.’’ This
tree is very tender, and north of Charlotte Harbor it
should have winter protection. $3 to $5 each.

Artocarpus integrifolia. See Jack Fruit.

BARBADOES GOOSEBERRY.

(Pereskea aculeata.)
See Cacti.

™~ BENGAL QUINCE. (C#gle Marmelos.)

A rare plant, native of Continental India ; leaves
trifoliate, somewhat resembling those of Ci/rus trifo-
Miata. Small plants, $1 each.

CASH EW NUT. (Axnacardium Occidentale.)

The Anacardiums are curious trees, producing a
moreor less edible fruit, the seed of which grows upon
the outside, at the lower end of the fruit; they have
produced fruit for us here, and as they fruit when
quite small, they are well adapted to pot culture, and
form very interesting plants. 65 cents each; three
for $1.50.

CERIMAN. ((Vonstera deliciosa).

““This is a highly ornamental aroid plant, a native
of the forests of Trinidad; it is a half scrambler, half
climber, often in its native forests ascending tall
trees, to which it clings with its wiry roots, which
come out anywhere on the stem. The large leaves
are cut and forked, and full of oval holes. It is said
of this plant when flowering that ‘so fast does its
spadix of flowers expand, that (as indeed in some
other aroids) an actual genial heat and fire of passion,
which may be tested by the thermometer or even by
the hand, is given off during fructificatior.’ The
plant is rare in Florida, but has been fruited by Dr.
Harris, of Key West. It will bear a slight frost un-
harmed, and it is probable could be cultivated quite
extensively in South Florida were more plants ob-
tainable; the fruit is said to resemble very much an
elongated green-pine cone; it is about six inches in
length, and when ripe the skin comes off easily in
octagonal sections, leaving the fruit with the appear-
ance of a ripe banana; it is said to have the combin-
ed flavor of the pine-apple and banana, though supe-
rior to either.’—Auwllelin No. 1, Div. Pomology.
$1.75 each; large plants, $3 each.

' CHERIMOYA, or JAMAICA APPLE.

,(Anona Cherimolia.)

This fruit is well adapted to this section, being a
trifle hardier than its cousin, the sugar-apple; it is

R. D. HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLORIDA.

sure to succeed wherever that fruit can be grown, and
they have been grown here to perfection; it is a
handsome fruit, of large size, and a rich brownish-
yellow when fully ripe; the flesh is creamy and quite
rich. 40 cents each, $4 per dozen.

COCOANUT (Cocos nucifera.)
\ See Palms.

“COCOA PLUM. Whrysobalanus Icaco.)

fi Of value more as an ornamental plant than for its
fruit ; plant evergreen; leaves rich and glassy ; flow-
ers showy. 50 cents each.

‘CUSTARD APPLE.

We can see little difference between this and the
other spcies of Anona as far as hardiness is con-
cerned ; fruit of good quality, four inches in diameter.
50 cents each.

\powny MYRTLE.

\y (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.)

This pretty evergreen shrub should rather be
classed among the semi-tropical than tropical fruits,
as it has produced fruit for some years at Mr. E. H.
Hart’s place at Federal Point. The fruits are red,
the size of a gooseberry, and of an agreeable sweetish
taste ; the flowers are pink, five-petaled and resemble
in size those of the dog-rose; the shrub is an ever-
green, and very ornamental. Small plants, 15 cents
each, $1.50 per dozen; two years, 35 cents each, $3.50

per dozen. \
\ EGG-FRUIT.

(Lucuma rivicoa, var. angustifolia. )

Known also under the name of Ti-es. (Spanish,
Canistel.) A low tree or shrub, producing a fruit
about the size of an egg, that looks like a small mam-
mee sapota; trees were in bearing here previous to
the freeze of 1886. 75 cents each.

y GRANADILLA. (2assiflora edulis.)

A handsome evergreen climber, with shining lobed
leaves. Very quick growing, and no vine is better
suited for covering arbors or trellises ; fruit produced
the second year ; is about the size of an egg, purple
outside; flesh yellow, filled with small black seeds;
has an orange flavor; petals of the flower, white;
crown whitish, with violet base ; one of the most beau-
tiful of the Passifloras, and as it is very free from all
insect pests it should be ordered by everyone who de-
sires a handsome élimber. 40 cents each, $3 for $1.

GUAVA. §(Psidium Guaiava.)

The common Guava,
of which there are
many varieties; dis-
tinct in color of flesh
and shape. The task
of selecting, naming,
and propagating the
best varieties still re-
mains to be done.
This species includes
the P. pomiferum and
P. pyriferum of Lin-
nzeus, and other var-
ieties, and from them
is made the famous
Guava jelly of com- gf

for $1.

\. White Winter Guava. This species is apparent-
ly distinct from the foregoing, and there seems to be
no varieties of it; the fruit is large, pear-shaped,
greenish-white in color ; flesh, white ; one of the best
for preserving, as the flesh is thick, and there are but
few seeds. 50 cents each, $5 per dozen.

‘MAMMEE APPLE. (Alammee Americana.)

Or San Domingo Apricot; one of the handsomest
trees growninthetropics. The leaves are large, thick
and glossy, resembling somewhat those of the famous
‘rubber tree,’’ and as it is an evergreen, it makes an
elegant conservatory plant; the fruits are as large as
a child’s head, nearly round, and of a dark brown
color; in taste they much resemble a fine apricot.
Fine plants, 60 cents each, 3 for $1.50; extralarge, by
cess $1 each.

MAMMEE SAPOTA.

The Marmalade Fruit. In its native home (Central
America), this tree attains an immense size; the
fruit is as large as a cocoanut, and nearly the same
color, having a rough brown skin; the pulp is a rich
yellow, and contains from one to three large glossy
brown seeds that extend nearly the whole length of

(Lucuma Mammosa.)

the fruit. Trees 4 to 5 feet high, 75 cents each.
Vv MANGO. (Mangifera I ndica. )

This has been callea the queen of tropical fruits,
and is well worthy thetitle. We lost our trees in the
big freeze of ’86, but did not lose our faith in the
Mango becoming one of our most important fruits.
The tree is of very rapid growth and enormously
productive; we have seen trees only eight years old
that were producing thousands of Mangoes, and had
been in bearing three or four years then. There is
always a ready market for all that can be produced.
The tree is very ornamental, with its rich, green lan-
ceolate leaves, while those of the new growth area
beautiful wine color; the fruit is the size of an egg |
or larger, and is borne on long racemes in immense
clusters at the ends of the branches; the color is
yellow in some, green in others, with more or less red
cheek ; contains one large seed, from which a tough
fiber extends through the skin; color of pulp from a
light toa deep yellow, and very juicy. Our plants
are from seed taken only from the choicest varieties. |
These are well adapted to pot or tub culture, north, |
as they will produce fruit abundantly when not over |
four feet high. Fine plants, 35 cents each; large, 4

to 5 feet, 60 cents each; three for $1.50.

\ OTAHEITE GOOSEBERRY.
(Creca dadisticha.)

A rare and beautiful tree, with immense decom-
pound leaves of a peculiar light bluish-green. Fruit
of waxy whiteness, and produced in long pendent
racemes, 35 cents each; extra large, 60 cents each.

\Y THE PAPAW or MELON FRUIT.
(Carica papaya.)

“The name Carica is from Caria, where the tree
was first cultivated; a native of tropical America,
Asia, and Africa. The tree finally attains a height of
20 feet ; the leaves are large, seven-lobed and ter-
minal (after the manner of palms). Dicecious. The
plant grows very fast, and is strikingly ornamental ;
very tender, but ordinarily survives the south Florida
winters. The green fruit issaid to be used as we use
the turnip ; the buds are used for sweetmeats, and
the ripe fruit is sliced and eaten like the musk-melon,
which it resembles in size, color and taste ; but it will
be most highly prized in Florida for its peculiar prop-
erty of making tough beef tender. This is uniform-
ly practiced in the tropics; the slice of meat may be
placed between bruised leaves of the Papaw for half
an hour or less, or rubbed with the rind of the fruit ;
it will be found to havea good effect in the case of
even the toughest beef—and this surely makes it a
valuable fruit, which might well be popular wherever
there are restaurants. Fine young plants, 20 cents

each, 6 for $1.
\ PEPINO, or MELON PEAR.
(Solanum Guatemalense (?) S. muricatum.)

This elegant little plant belongs to the egg-plant
family, but is a fruit rather than a vegetable. As it
is a perennial plant, the roots may betaken up in the
fall and wintered in the cellar, or it may be grown on
in the house all winter. It is almost constantly in
bloom, and when covered with its fruit and flowers
both, it is wonderfully attractive. The fruit isas large
as a goose-egg, light orangecolor, streaked and wav-
ed with purple lines; in taste it is between a banana
and musk melon. Where it bears freely it is likely to
be highly esteemed. 15 cents each, 8 for $1.

PIGEON PLUM. (Coccoloba Floridiana.)

As a fruit plant this is of little value, but the thick
glossy leaves are very handsome, and as it is almost
unknown in cultivation, it is well worth having forits
rarity, and also for its decorative availability. 40
cenis each.

THE PAPAW OR MELON FRUIT.

6 R. D. HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLORIDA.

> PINE-APPLE.

The Pine-Apple is perhaps one of the most impor-
tant of all the tropical fruits. In the extreme southern
part of Florida there are immense plantations of
them, and from these the people in that section derive
almost their entire income from the crop. Great
quantities are grown in Europe under glass, and
much more attention is paid to them there than
in this country. The plant is very easy to grow,
and at the north will succeed well inany greenhouse,
or even a sunny window. Theplants themselves are
very ornamental, and to watch them coming into
bearing is a very interesting sight to most people;
after the plant has attained its full size it begins
to turn blood-red in the center, and in a few days
you can see the young fruit, which looks like a red
rosette, way down in the center; this is pushed up
pretty rapidly by the central fruit stalk, and the
young fruit begins to assume its shape, and is soon
one-third grown ; at this stage it begins blooming, and
from each one of the diamond-shaped lobes of the
fruit comes a pretty bright blue flower. Of the
numerous varieties we offer the following as among
“, the best.

Y Rea Spanish. This is the one most commonly
grown for export; fruit very bright yellow when fully
ripe, and the young leaves of the plant are strongly
tinged with red. 20 cents each, 3 for 50 cts., 7 for $1.

“/ Sugar Loaf. Fruit large; pyramidal in shape,
fine golden yellow when fully ripe; flesh firm and
fine grained, flavor excellent. “Strong rooted plants,

} 25 cents each, 5 for $1.

\ Porto Rico Pine. Oneof the largest and finest

varieties grown; plant of robust habit, attaining a

very large size; fruit of the best quality, and often

weighing from 12 to 15 pounds. Strong plants, 65 cts.

and well repays planting.

PINE-APPLE.

_50 cents each;

ROSE-APPLE. (Lug genia Jambos.)

A beautiful evergreen tree; a native of the East
Indies, but has long been grown in the West India
Islands; the leaves are long and narrow, and re-
semble those of the oleander; the new growth is
wine-colored like the mango; fruit resembles a large
crab apple, is white or yellowish, with red flush on
one side; is rose-scented, very fragrant ; with apricot
flavor; sprouts readily from the root if killed down.
75 cents to $1 each.

SAPODILLA, B
ODILLA PLUM

A low spreading tree with glossy leaves; fruit re-
sembles a russet apple in appearance; the sweet,
spicy, granulated pulp tastes a little like some of the
best pears, with a slight coffee flavor added; one of
the best of the tropical fruits, and one for which a
taste does not have to be acquired. The sap of the
tree yields gutta-percha, and the bark contains medic-
inal properties; thus this is one of the remarkably
useful trees characteristic of the tropics. 25 cents
each, 5 for $r.

* SEA-GRAPE. (Coccoloba uvifera.)

See Miscellaneous Department.

SOUR SOP. NM Anona muricata. )

A large, greenish brown, prickly fruit, containing a
cottony, juicy, white pulp; is much esteemed in Key
West; acooling drink is also made from it; one of
the tenderest of tropical fruits ; tree one of the most
beautiful of the Anonas; leaves rich shining green.
As it produces fruit while quite small, it is a good
plant for greenhouse culture, and is one of the most
interesting tropical fruits. 35 cents each, 3 for gocts.

‘Y SPANISH LIME or GINEP.
‘wy (Melicocca byuga.)

Not a lime at all. A sapindaceous tree with very
odd foliage—compound leaves with winged petioles ;
of slow growth while young, but attains a height of
20 to 30 feet eventually. Produces a yellow, plum-
like fruit of a pleasant grape taste, and enclosing a
large seed, which may be roasted and eaten likea
chestnut. 25 centSeach.

STAR APPLE. (Cirysophyllum Cainito.)

A beautiful evergreen tree; leaves dark green
above, the under side with a yellowish satiny luster.
Fruit purple, the size of a small apple, ripening in
the early summer. An excellent fruit, and in much
demand in the Key West market will doubtless be-
come commercially imported for northern shipment.

some extent throughout south Florida; fruit resem-
bles an inverted cone; is a yellowish green in color;
pulp very sweet, of the consistency of soft butter,
and contains numerous shining black seeds; as it
grows in bush form, it is very easy to protect in
winter; like most Anonas, it is deciduous, and is
best transplanted in February, although if well cut
back may be moved at any time. It is one of the
best tropical fruits, and worth careful attention.
The illustration on page 7, showing the fruit entire
and in sections, were made from nature. Small
plants, 15 cents each ; 7 for $1.

TROPICAL FRUIT TREES AND PLANTS. 7

TAMARIND. Vie Indica.)

A tree with delicate, acacia-like foliage, producing
pods from six to eight inches in length, which enclose
with the seed an acid pulp, this, when preserved in
sugar, forms the basis of the drink known as “‘ta-
marind water ;’” trees were in bearing here previous
to the freeze, and it will stand quite severe frosts
without injury ; is valuable as an ornament as well as
for its fruit, the tree attaining an ultimate height of
25 to 30 feet, and becoming very handsome as it
develops. The fruit or pods are of considerable use
in medicine in some countries, in addition to their
use for producing ‘‘tamarind water.” 25 cents each;
five for $1.

TROPICAL ALMOND.
(Lerminalia catappa.)

“With its flat stages of large smooth leaves and
oily edible seeds in an almond-like husk, is not an
almond at all, or any kin thereto ; is has been named,
as so many West India plants have, after some
known plant to which it bore a likeness, and intro-
duced hither, and indeed toall shores from Cuba to
Guiana, from the East Indies, through Arabia and
tropical Africa, having begun its journey in the
pocket of some Portuguese follower of Vasco de
Gama.”— Kingsley. Common in Key West, and was
growing here previous to the freeze; promises well.

CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS.
(The Sweet Orange.)
BUDDED VARIETIES.

\ Acis. An imported variety of good quality ; large,
roundish ovate; skin rather rough.

‘“y Arcadia, Hick’s. Large, somewhat flattened ;
skin smooth; grain coarse, pulp melting and juicy;
quality good ; a native seedling.

\y Beach No. 2 (Syn., Old Vint, Buena Vista). In-
troduced by Mr. A. J. Beach. A vigorous grower ;
fruit of large size and best quality; remains on the

\. tree in good condition until late in spring.

Bell. Large, pear or bell-shaped; tree prolific,
with few thorns, and of vigorous upright growth.
Probably imported.

, Centennial. A new variety, introduced by Mr.

‘E. H. Hart, which took first prize at the State Fair in
1885, and at the New Orleans Exposition, the number
of points awarded proved it to be among the highest
class of Florida oranges. Said to be exceedingly
rich and delicious, and is destined to become one of
the leading varieties.

Cunningham. A seedling from Sumpter County,
Florida. This fruit scored the greatest number of
points of any orange at the New Orleans Exposition,
and has since been one of the prize oranges where-
ever exhibited. Supply limited. $1 each.

Double Imperial Navel. A new variety of
Navel which comes to us from Major Roundtree, of
Louisiana, in which state it originated from the seed
of a Bahia orange. With us the tree is a strong, up-
right grower, very thorny, but prolific bearer; fruit
medium size, flattened ; ranks with other Navels as
to quality and has the same umbilical protuberance.
75 cents each.

Du Roi. Size medium, round ; quality superior ;
fruit ribbed like a musk-melon, a distinctive mark
which adds much to its market value; fruit will re-
main sound on the tree until late in spring.

other varieties ; juice agreeable, but wanting the sub-
acid of other kinds; the tree is a vigorous grower
and is very prolific ; branches thornless ; foliage dis-
tinct ; this variety is recommended chiefly because of
its early ripening.

HOMOSASSA ORANGE. (See page 9g.)

SEMI-TROPICAL FRUITS.

CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS, Continued.

VY Exquisite. Siid to be a very superior orange ;
has not fruited for us yet. Imported by Gen. Sanford.
\ Egg (Beach No. 2). Classed with the early ripen-
ing varieties; with us it matures little if any earlier
than many others ; a good orange, of sprightly flavor.

Homosassa. This orange is justly classed among
the favorites in every grove, and has taken several
prizes at different exhibitions; color bright; skin
thin, dense and very tough, this quality rendering it
one of the best shipping oranges we have.

Italian. A handsome strong growing tree; has
not yet fruited with us.

_ Jaffa. Imported fromthe Mediterranean by Gen-
eral Sanford, and is probably one of the best import-
ed varieties; a medium-sized fruit, very heavy and
juicy, with few seeds, and of unsurpassed flavor ;
tree distinct in foliage ; of vigorous upright growth,
and while it sometimes shows a fewthorns, it may be
classed with the thornless varieties.

Maltese Blood. Size medium, round or slightly
oblong; in the fall the pulp is streaked with red,
which increases as the season advances, until the
whole pulp is colored; quality best; tree a strong,
free grower, entirely thornless; when properly
placed on the market, the fruit always commands the
highest price.

Maltese Oval. The beautiful specimens of this
orange exhibited at the Sanford exposition the past
winter attracted a great deal of attention; it isa per-
fect oval, with smooth, dense glossy peel, and ranks
with the other Malta oranges in quality ; tree entirely

\ thornless,

Majorca. Fromthe Eastern Mediterannean ; tree
resembles the Jaffa ; fruit similar, but averages a little
smaller, and not quite as highly colored; desirable

In every respect.

Magnum Bonum. Large, flattened, light clear
orange: skin smooth and glossy ; flesh light colored,
fine grained, tender and melting; an excellent ship-
per, as well as of the best quality; tree very vigorous

. grower; thorny ; a native seedling.

’ Mediterranean Sweet. This variety was intro-
duced into California some years ago by Thomas A.
Garey, and with the exception of Washington Navel,
has been and still is the favorite ; fruit medium size,
oblong; nearly seedless ; very tender and juicy ; tree
entirely thornless; a vigorous grower, bears young
and is very prolific; of the above there are two va-
rieties in this state, which are similar in almost every
respect, the only difference being that the fruit of one
is round, while Mr. Garey’s is oblong.

\ Mediterranean Sweet, Garey’s. See above.

Nonpariel. Size above ordinary; color,clear dark
orange; skin smooth ; pulp very tender, melting and
vinous ; tree vigorous and symmetrical; took first
prize at the State Fair, 1878, and has since proved all
that was claimed for it; a native seedling.

Navel, Washington or Riverside. This is con-
sidered by many the king of oranges: sizelarge, very
heavy; rind medium thickness; pulp tender and
melting ; nearly seedless; flavor delicious; bears a
peculiar umbilical formation on the blossom end,
from which it derives its name; tree nearly thornless.
In this state it has with many people proved a shy
bearer, with others quite the reverse; we don’t con-
sider the question settled yet, but in the meantime

( are planting the Washington Navel.

*«Paper-Rind St. Michael. As its name implies,
this is remarkably thin-skinned ; still the rind is so
dense and tough when properly cured that it carries
as wellas many of the thick-skinned oranges; in
quality it is unsurpassed.

e.Prata (Syn., Silver Orange). Rind*pale yellow,
sometimes with a silvery sheen on the lower half; of
good quality ; treea very upright grower. Imported.

ee Brown. Size medium, oblong; skin
smooth; fine flavor; a good shipper, and by some
considered the best of the early oranges; it begins
to ripen in October, and reaches perfection by the
iddle of November; native seedling.

Pride of Malta. Medium size, flattened, skin
somewhat rough ; juice very sweet, attaining perfec-
tion in November ; tree a vigorous grower and of fine
form ; branches nearly thornless; this variety is com-
paratively new, but has been well tested and approv-

d on the Halifax river ; imported. 75 cents each.

eerless (Remberl’s Best). Originally from Rem-
bert’s grove on Drayton Island; in quality it is one
of the best ; tree a strong upright grower, with broad,
thick foliage ; very thorny.

Pine-Apple. New, originating in one of the
groves of Bishop Hoyt & Co., on Orange lake; has
a slight pine-apple flavor, more or less distinct in dif-
ferent specimens, and is most remarkable for the
solidity and ‘‘meatiness”’ of its flesh ; may be classed
as one of the very best oranges. 75 cents each; sup-
ply limited.

Star Calyx. An orange of good quality, its dis-
inctive mark being a broader and thicker calyx than
common, which have five well defined points.

Sweet Seville, Hick’s. Small; thin but rather
[er skin ; ripens early, and is very sweet; tree a

very vigorous grower, and prolific.

Tahiti. Of large size, round, pale yellow; skin
thin, pulp very tender and melting; tree vigorous and
very thorny. Imported.

\ Tardif (Syn., Hart’s Late). Medium size, round ;
skin thin, smooth and dense; grain fine, juice sub-
acid; very fine and racy ; this variety is attaining a
reputation only second to the Washington Navel,
owing to the length of time it takes to mature; while
it colors up as early in the season as others, it does
not reach perfection much before the first of June,
and remains good on the tree until the middle of
July. Imported.

THE MANDARIN and TANGIERINE
ORANGES.

\ , (Citrus aurantium nobilis Varieties.)

China (Syn., Willow-leaved Mandarin). Tree of

MANDARIN ORANGE GROWN IN POT.

MANDARIN and TANGIERINE ORANGES, Con.

An upright growing variety, very thorny ;
foliage very nearly resembles the ordinary sweet
orange. Fruit large, dark yellow, flattened, with
rough skin; quality best of the type. We predict
that this is going to become a very popular orange.
The supply is limited. 75 cents each.

Satsuma. Size medium, flattened; color dark
orange; skin thin, sweet and aromatic; pulp fine
grained and juicy ; bestof the type. Tree of dwarf
habit, prolific, entirely thornless. Thrives best when
budded on sweet seedling stock. ?

‘Tangierine, ‘Dancy’s.”’ Tree of strong, upright
growth, attaining the size of the sweet orange; is
very nearly thornless; foliage rich and glossy, and
when bruised gives forth a peculiar pungent odor
very different from any other orange tree; fruit
medium size, much flattened, of deep tomato red,
with the appearance of having been varnished ; qual-
ity no better than the Mandarin, but its color always
commands for it a high price as a fancy dessert fruit.
To grow this fruit to perfection requires more moist-
ure than for the others, and an abundance of fertiliz-

Tangierine Spice. A variety of the above; fruit
small, dark red, very juicy and aromatic.

Bouquet des Fleurs. A very ornamental tree of
dwarf habit; foliage distinct; thornless. Cultivated
chiefly for its flowers, which are produced in profu-
sion on very young trees; fruit of no value.

MISCELLANEOUS ORANGES.

Sour Orange (C. Bigaradia). Price on applica-
tion.

Phillips’ Bitter Sweet. A hybrid of the wild
and sweet orange. The fruit is large, thin-skinned ;
juice slightly bitter and aromatic. Tree a strong
grower ; bears early, and is very prolific ; thornless.
Fruit retains its juice nearly all summer, and is very
refreshing on a hot day.

Myrtle-Leaved. A highly ornamental dwarf tree,
with very small leaves of a dark glossy green ; bears
a medium sized flattened fruit, similar in flavor to
the wild bitter-sweet.

Sour Seville. Imported fromthe Mediterranean.
Fruit small, thick-skinned and very juicy. This
orange is used in making the famous Dundee Marma-
lade, large quantities of them being sent to Scotland
for that purpose.

Variegated. Foliage beautifully striped and
blotched creamy white; very ornamental.

POMELO. (Citrus pomelanus.)

Commonly known as “‘ Grape-fruit ;” in size be-
tween the orange and shaddock; skin smooth, pale
yellow, varies in thickness in specimens from differ-
ent localities. Membrane dividing the pulp is bitter
and should be removed before eating ; pulp sub-acid,
very refreshing. Lately the demand for this fruit in
the north has increased very much, and we expect to

.| soon see it one of the most popular of our fruits.

Improved Pomelo. An improved variety of the
above, and said to be much superior.
\y Pernambuco Pomelo. Introduced through the
Department of Agriculture at Washington; has not
yet fruited in Florida.
iM Canton Pomelo. Very large, round, tapering
oward the stem; rind smooth, thick and aromatic ;
fleshred. Foliage dense, dark green above, silvery
beneath. Small trees, 50 cents each.

Vv KUMQUAT. § (Citrus Japonica.)

A native of Japan, where it is in very general cul-
tivation. Tree dwarf, growing from six to eight feet
in height ; foliage resemblesthe Mandarin somewhat,
and like most of the Citrus trees from Japan, is very
hardy. The fruit is small, from 1 to 1% inches in
diameter; the rind is sweet and pulp acid. The
Chinese preserve it in sugar, making an excellent
sweetmeat. This is unexcelled as a pot plant, and
when covered with its hundreds of bright yellow
fruits it is very attractive. :

SHADDOCKS.

Mammoth. Fruit grows to an enormous size;
skin smooth and glossy; pulp green, sub-acid,
slightly bitter.

Red Shaddock. Also very large; pulp red,
darker in some specimens than ‘in others; foliage
distinct from all others.

Whittaker Shaddock. From the Whittaker
Grove, at Sara Sota. Of medium size, round, skin
much thinner than in most varieties, pulp very high
colored; in quality is one of the best we have seen.

Forbidden Fruit. We give Reasoner Bros.’ de-
scription of it: ‘‘This tree was introduced from
South Africa by Col. Church, of Orlando. Its habit
of growth is distinct from any other Citrus we have
seen. The new growth is slightly tinged with red, as
inthelemon. The extraordinary quality claimed for
this fruit is that even in the hottest weather the pulp
is very cold, almost as if it had been kept onice. It
has not vet fruited in Florida.’’

CITRON.

The various species of Citron that we have propa-
gated so far have proved very unsatisfactory, and we
will not list them. Eight new varieties have been
imported from Italy by the Department of Agricul-
ture, and sent us for propagation. Such of these as
may prove of value will be listed after we have
fruited them.

LEMONS.

The cultivation of lemons in south Florida has now
passed the experimental stage. Success is assured,
and we expect in a few years to see the imported
fruit driven from our markets by the superiority of
our home-grown lemons. We have selected only the
very finest fruits to propagate from, and they are
guaranteed true to name.

Y Belair Premium. We do not hesitate to place
this at the head of the list; it is hardy; a strong
grower and good bearer, and has probably been
awarded more premiums than any other ; fruit medi-
um sized, smooth, thin-skinned and very juicy. Im-
ported by Gen. Sanford.

CATTLEYA GUAVA. (Psidium Cattleyanum. )

This fruit is becoming more popular all the time, as
its merits become better known. It is a handsome
shrub for lawn or garden, and the most persistent
fruit producing plant we ever saw. No sooner is one
crop ripethanit is blooming foranotker,and frequently
it has blooms, halfgrown, and ripe fruit,all atthe same
time. The fruit is round and about an inch in diam-
eter, of a dark red color, sometimes with a yellow
cheek. As a jelly fruit it surpasses the common
Guava. Foliage a rich dark green, thick and shining,
somewhat resembling the camelia; in growth it is of
dwarf habit, and plants should be set out in rows
eight feet apart each way. It makes an elegant pot
plant, and at the north it may be grown out doors all
summer, and then transferred to the house, where it
will continue to produce more or less fruit all winter.

“ Ordinary Red. The typical variety, described
above.
VYellow (?). A species much resembling the
above, with yellow fruit ; known as the Yellow Cat-
tley. Fruit a little larger than the Red, sweeter and
much superior for eating raw ; it is also being largely
planted, with the intention of making the jelly one of
our commercial products.

Price of fine plants of either variety, 25 cents each,
or one of each for 45 cents; extra large plants, by
express, 40 cents each, three for $1, or seven for §2.

form, asa rule, but in quality there is no perceptible
difference that we can discover.

Sweet Lemon (Dulcis or Sweet Lime). Of no
particular value, although a place should always be
found for a specimen tree, as both fruit and tree are
ornamental,

\, LIMES.

Florida (West Indian or Mexican). The common
| variety, found all over South Florida; has been much
| neglected, but the time is coming when more atten-
tion will be paid to their cultivation. The tree is
| tender, but if killed to the ground by a freeze, it
sprouts readily from the root, and in two years time
is producing a full crop. Good seedling plants, 15
p 25 cents each ; bearing trees, 50cents to $1 each.

(Citrus medica limetta.)

Imperial. Recently imported; said to be a very
fine variety.
Tahiti. An imported variety that cannot be too

highly recommended ; tree a rapid grower and an
early and heavy bearer; fruit large size, very thin
skin; acid, strong and rich; this fruit scored ninety-
four points at the South Florida Exhibition last Feb-
ruary, the highest of any citrus fruit on exhibition.
Valentia. Introduced through the United States

Department of Agriculture.

ae TRIFOLIATA. (£¢/e Sepiaria.)
This is the most hardy of the orange family, and
| will stand hard freezing without injury ; it is growing
in the open ground as far north as Philadelphia, and
blooms and produces fruit in abundance. The flow-
ers are large, pure white and sweet scented. As the
tree or shrub rarely exceeds six feet in height, it has
been found very valuable as a stock for dwarfing the
larger growing varieties, so that almost any orange
budded on it may be grown within the limits of an
ordinary greenhouse. Strong young plants, 20 cents
each, six for $1.

FIG.

More attention is now being paid to Fig culture in
the south than formally, and at the north, everyone
should have them, as they may be grown with the as-
surance that they will produce their delicious fruits,

CELESTIAL or SUGAR FIG.

FIG, Continued,
This is one of the most cele-
brated figs of the world, and from which the finest
dried figs of Smyrna, known as Zrbe//i, are produc-
ed; the fruit is of large size, thin-skinned; pulp
solid, rich and melting ; the tree is a very rapid grow-
er, attaining eventually a very large size, and on old
trees the amount of ripe fruit produced is said to be
enormous. It comes into bearing the second year
after planting, the crop increasing each year; proba-
bly more of this variety is being in planted Florida
than all others put together, and it is a standard Fig
the world over.

White Marseilles. A large greenish white fruit ;
excellent for preserving. Has long been grown in
this country.

Price of well rooted plants, 25 cts. each ;
the set of 5 varieties for $1, or 6 sets for $5.

™ HOVENIA DULCIS.

This newly introduced fruit from Japan is
described as follows by Messrs.H. H. Berger
& Co.: “‘A stately tree, resembling in habit
the wild pear tree of Europe; the leaves
are similar to those of our mulberry tree
in shape and texture; the small whitish
flowers appear in July. The fruit is pro-
duced by the three divisions of the inflor-
escence thickening and becoming fleshy.
It is edible, and has a sweet and very aro-
matic taste, resembling much the fruit of §
the carob tree; is also, in flavor, similar to
bergamot.’? May prove valuable in Flor-
ida, and is worthy careful trial among
those inierested in increasing our list of
market fruit. 30 cents each, four for $r.

INDIAN FIG. (Oftunia ficus Indica.)

See Cacti.

LOQUAT, or JAPAN MEDLAR.
\y (4riobotrya Japonica.)

A highly ornamental evergreen tree,
with thick, leathery lanceolate leaves,
the under surface of which is covered

is a dark rich green; the tree blossoms
in winter, ripening its fruit in the early
spring ; resembles a plum in size and
shape, and is produced in clusters of a
bright yellow color; sub-acid, with a
very agreeable flavor. Small trees, 25
cents each, five for $1; larger, by ex-
press, 40 cents each, three for $1.

OLIVE.

The Olive was introduced in the south-
ern states over a hundred years ago, but
its culture seems to have made little
progress until recent years. Importa-
tions have been made by General H. H.
Sanford, A. I. Bidwell, and perhaps
others. Mr. Bidwell’s trees, while they
hid been planted but little over four
vears, were holding fruit when we saw
them last February, and had made as
fine a growthas could be desired ; every
one knows the commecial value of the
Olive, and if its culture proves a suc-
cess here, as it promises to do, it adds
one more to the long list of profitable
industries for south Florida. There are
a great many varieties of the Olive; the
one most cultivated both in Italy and
California, and the only one we as yet

north it makes an elegant tub plant, and its beautiful
flowers and unique fruit will always make it one of
the ‘‘pet plants’’ of its possessor. The following
varieties offered are the newest and best /ruzt plants,
and should not be confounded with the ornamental
sorts offered by northern florists, which produce flow-
ers only, or at the best, a worthless fruit.

Early Scarlet. Very showy ; ripens in October ;
sub-acid, fine flavor. 30 cents each, four for $1.

as very large, with small eye; thick skin of a pale
yellow, with crimson cheek; meat of a rich crimson
color, highly aromatic and verysweet. Small plants,

Paper Shell. From California, and comes highly
recommended. Price same as above.

NX NEW PURPLE-SEEDED POMEGRANATE.

This is a remarkable seedling of recent introduc-
tion, and originated inthis state. It bears the high-
est endorsement of Mr. P. J. Berckmans, president of
the American Pomological Society, and of other
prominent fruit growers. The fruit is very large and
highly colored, and the grains of the pulp resemble
great clusters of rubies, while the rich juice is as
dark as port wine, and of exquisite flavor. Strong
plants, by mail, 50 cents each; extra large, by ex-
press only, 75 cents each.

THE MAY APPLE, or FLESH COLORED
GRANADILLA.
(Passiflora incarnata. )

Our native passion vine, producing an edible fruit,
and well worth cultivating as an ornamental climber.
The root is perennial, and hardy throughout all the
Southern States ; should be grown in pots or boxes,
as it is apt to become unmanageable by reason of its
running root stalks. 15 cents each, two for 25 cents.

MULBERRIES. (J/oruws.)

Well known shade and ornamental trees, the fruit
of which may be used for various purposes. The
following comprises the best varieties:

“English” Muiberry. Said to produce the best
fruit, and a profuse bearer, ripening its fruit for sev-
eral weeks in succession,

Downing’s Everbearing. The best for fruit,

hich is sub-acid and of fine flavor, and produced
for three months in the year.

Hicks. More acid than the above; of rapid, up-

PERSIMMONS. (Lvospfyrus.)

The Persimmon, in its varieties, has assumed un-
expected importance of late years as a fruit to be
grown for actual profit.

THE JAPAN PERSIMMON. (0. Kazi.)

We cannot speak too highly of the merits of this
fruit ; we have had it long enough now to appreciate
its value. It is certainly a delicious fruit, and its
large size and attractive appearance always com-
mands for it a good price, when placed on the market.
The nomenclature is still somewhat confused, but as
the trees come into bearing they are being classified,
and we hope with the assistance of the nomenclature
committee appointed by the Florida Horticultural
Society, to soon be able to get ours all correctly nam-
ed beyond dispute. We offer named varieties only
of those we are sure of, the others are numbered, and
as we get the names, we will place them opposite
the number, so that purchasers can eventually name
their trees by keeping the numbers correctly. The
following five varieties are all distinct, and among
the very best that we have found.

No. 1. Yemon. Very large, round, somewhat
flattened, orange red; two and a-half by three inches
in diameter ; some specimens much larger, frequent-

_ly weighing ten ounces and sometimes as much as
fone pound ; a late keeper.

“No. 2. . Usually oblong and acute apex; two
and a-half by three inches in diameter; perfectly
globular specimens frequently found on the sametree ;
orange red; good keeper.

No. 3. — Round, flattened, deeply ribbed;
average weight of fruit seven to nine ounces; dark
orange red ; very sweet and delicious; all fruit from
our trees has so far proved entirely seedless.

No. 4. Tane-Nashi. Fruit conical, medium size,
ight reddish yellow ; very solid and meaty, one of
the very best.

No. 5. Zengi. The smallest of the list ; nearly

lobular ; average two inches ; pulp dark very sweet
and rich; best quality, and very productive; dried,
jt is superior to the best Smyrna figs.

Prices of home-grown trees: 2 to 3 feet, 4o cents
each, $4 per dozen; 4 to 5 feet, 60 cents each, $6 per
dozen; 5 to 8 feet, branched, $1 to $1.25 each.

STRAWBERRIES.

\ (Ziziphus jujuba. )

(Fragaria. )

There are but few varieties that are adapted to this },

climate, as most of them will scald during our sum-
mers ; still, it is well enough to experiment on a small
scale, especially with southern hybrids, or seedlings
from the finest berries. The two following are now
the leading varieties grown, both for home use and

\\ market.

Hoffman’s Seedling. A berry of recent intro-
duction, which with us has proved all that is claimed
for it, and we shall plant more largely of it another
season; berry medium size, conical; ripens evenly
all over and remains firm for a long time after being
picked. Our cut was made from a photograph and
.. accurately represents this fruit.

are unexcelled; is a very prolific bearer—the past
season we had berries from January till June 15,

| right along from the same vines; plants should be

results, although it may be done aslateas December.
Price, 50 cents per 100, $4\per 1,000.

STRAWBERRY TREE. | (476utus unedo.)

This tree seems to be little known in Florida,
although perfectly hardy as farnorth as Jacksonville,
and perhaps farther. ‘‘It is a hardy and elegant-
looking evergreen. The leaves, oblong lanceolate
and serrated at the edges, the bell-shaped flowers,
forming a depending panicle, and the ripe berries,
both of which are in profusion together in the end of
autumn, render this shrub very ornamental at that
season. * * * The fruit is eaten, and in Spain
both a sugar and spirit are extracted from it.’?—

The box of plants arrived yesterday, and I have much pleasure in returning my best thanks forthem. I must

compliment you on your packing; the trees are all alive, and some of them have made long branched growths, owing to their long

confinement (ten weeks).

The run from Port Said, through the Suez canal, down the Red Sea and across to Bombay occupies fully

ten days, and as the temperature in those parts, in the months of April and May, is as near that of the infernal regions as is to be
found on this earth, nothing but your good packing saved the plants.

B. vulgaris, and send by express at our expense.

CYNODON DACTYLON.

The ‘‘Bermuda Grass.” A well-known lawn and pas-
ture grass. Careshould be taken that it does not get
established where it is not wanted, as itis rather hard
tueradicate. $3 per 1,000 sets. Our northern friends
can always have a liberal quantity of this packed
with their orders if they desire it, and without extra

cost.
CYPERUS.

C. alternifolius. A grass-like plant, throwing up
stems to the height of about two feet, surmounted at
the top by a cluster or whorl of leaves, diverging hor-
izontally, giving the plant a very curious appearance.

EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA.

16 R. D. HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLORIDA.

EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA.

““This is one of the most beautiful and distinct
hardy plants in cultivation. Unlike all other varie-
gated plants, this has its striping and marking across
the leaf, instead of longitudinally. It grows from five
to seven feet in height, forming a most striking and
graceful plant, resembling nothing else that we know
of. The expanded flower spike resembles the ostrich
plume, and when dried will last for years. Plant en-
tirely hardy. Whether used as a single plant or for
groups on lawns, it has no equal.’’ 25 cents each, 5
for $1. Very heavy established clumps in five-inch
pots, 50 cents each; these make elegant decorative
plants for the window garden in winter.

GYNERIUM.

G. argenteum. The Pampas Grass of South
America. On rich, moist land this soon forms mag-
nificent clumps, and the large silvery-white plumes
are much in demand for bouquets of dried grasses.
25,cents each, 5 for $1.

G. roseum. A distinct variety, the plumes of
which are tinted rose color. 25 cents each.

PANICUM.

P. molle. The Para Grass. One of the best pas-
ture grasses for South Florida. It will grow luxur-
iantly on ground that is too wet or too poor for any-
thing else, and it seems to do equally well on high or
low ground. In planting, the ground should be thor-
oughly prepared, and the cuttings put in, about two
feet apart each way. Afterward the grass should be
plowed every spring, when it will last an indefinite
time. This grass makes very fair hay, and if used for
that purpose and not pastured, it will afford several
cuttings during the season. 75 cents per 100, $5 per
1,000.

"Pp. maximum. Guinea Grass. Another good fod-
der grass that will afford several cuttings during the
season. Succeeds best planted in rows and culti-
vated. This does not spread as fast as the Para grass,
but throws out numerous stolons, which form large

clumps five to six feet in height.
per 1,000.

P. variegatum. A pretty ornamental species;
leaves variegated pink and white. Avery handsome
grass for the lawn. Io cents each.

PENNISETUM sp.

We received a small package of this grassseed from
India two years ago, and planted it in a rich, moist
spot early in the spring ; it soon came up, and made
a most remarkable growth, throwing out stolons free-
ly. It soon covered the ground, and by the middle
of August it had attained a height of seven feet. The
stems are slender and delicate, well clothed with
leaves, and we look upon it as one of the most prom-
ising forage grasses yet introduced in Florida. It is
an annual, and has to be replanted each spring, but
as it seeds freely, this is rather an advantage than
otherwise. It is surely worthy of trial. Seeds, per
liberal sized paper, 20 cents ; 5 papers for $1.

STENOTAPHRUM.

S. glabrum. St. Augustine Grass. A valuable
lawn grass for Florida; will grow in almost any situ-
ation, even under trees,and remains green all winter.
When once thoroughly established it makes a beauti-
ful lawn, and grov.s so thickly that it will crowd out
all other grass and weeds, making it easy to keep the
lawn in good condition. 50 cents per 100 cuttings,
$4 per 1,000.

S. glabrum variegatum. A variety of the pre-
ceding, with leaves beautifully variegated white and
green. 25 cents per dozen.

UNIOLA PANICULATA.

“The Sea Oats.”” A native perennial, growing on the
sand beaches of the coast. The flower heads are very
handsome, and much in demand for decorative work.
The plant seems to thrive equally as well when moved
to the high lands of the interior. 15 cents each.

The dried flower heads supplied in quantity; price
on application.

GYNERIUM

(Pampas Grass).

CONIFERS.

So far but little attention has been paid in this state to the cultivation of more than a few species

of the genus which comprise this noble order.

Strange, too! when the pines and cedars of our for-

ests, the cypress of our swamps, and the casuarinas of Key West show that our soil and climate is
adapted to at least a few of the hundreds comprising the order, among which are many useful as well
as some of the grandest ornamental evergreens in existence.

ARAUCARIA.

A. Bidwellii. Bunya-Bunya Pine, Moreton Bay
Pine. Height 150 feet; of very regular and symmet-
rical habit; color of foliage very rich dark green.
Small, $1.50 each.

A. Cookii. New Caledonia. Height 200 feet. De-
scribed by Mr. Abbey as having ‘‘a somewhat curi-
ous habit, even when growing alone, of shedding
their branches for five-sixths or more of their height,
and then replacing them by a smaller and more
bushy growth, so that the tree at a distance presents
a very columnar appearance, the resemblance being
increased by the summit being covered with a mass
of foliage somewhat like a capital.” $2 each.

A. Cunninghami. Moreton Bay. A very hand-
some species, attaining a height of 100 feet, and prob-
ably the hardiest of all the Araucarias, with the ex-
ception of A. imbricata. $1.50 each.

A. excelsa. The Norfolk Island Pine. Attainsa
height of 200 feet and over. In a young state it makes
a magnificent decorative plant for the conservatory.
No description we can give will do the Araucarias
justice ; they must be seen to be appreciated, and

once seen, they are not likely to be forgotton. Small
plants, $2 each.
A. imbricata. The Monkey Puzzle. Probably

hardy as far north as Savannah. Strong plants, $1 ea.

SPECIAL OFFER. For $6.50 we will send one
each‘of the set of five Araucarias, by express only.

CASUARINA.

The Australian Pine. Known also as Beefwood,
She or Swamp Oak. Very rapid growing tree, most-
ly native of Australia, but now naturalized in many
tropical and sub-tropical countries. As avenue trees
they are unique and likely to become popular.

C. equisetifolia.
species are growing in Key West, and a few have
become established on some of the Keys farther east.
As this tree will grow well ina rather saline soil, it
will be of great value as wind-breaks in many places
along the coasts. It is a handsome tree, pyramidal
in form, the foliage somewhat resembling the ta-
marix. 50 cents each, $5 per dozen.

C. glauca. Von Mueller speaks very highly of
this species, as being most valuable for its wood,
which is very hard and durable. It is also a very
handsometree. 60 cents each.

C. tenuissima. 75 cents each.

(@s Other species of the Casuarinas ready in
the spring.
CRYPTOMERIA JAPONICA.
( Japan Cedar.)

A handsome rapid growing tree, with an elongated
pyramidal outline ; probably hardy as far north as
Delaware. 40 cents each, three for $1.

Splendid specimens of this |

CEDRUS DEODARA.

The Great Cedar of the Himalayas. Probably
better adapted to the northern than the southern
part of the State ; stately and very interesting ever-
green tree, of a habit entirely distinct from other
cedars. 50 cents each.

CUPRESSUS.

C. sempervirens. Cypress of southern Europe.
Famous for the durability of its timber, which is next
to imperishable, and for the great age which the tree
attains. ‘‘ Young records the stem circumference of
a cypress at Lago Maggiore as 54 feet, and this was
known even six hundred years ago as a venerable
tree.’— Von Mueller. 25 and 50 cents each.

C. torulosa. Nepaul Cypress. Northern India,
ascending to great elevations. Young trees of this
species have so far done well here. Small, 50 cents.

JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA.

The well-known ‘“‘ Red Cedar.’’ This makes a
very handsome tree, and if judiciously clipped, it
can be trained into any desired shape; rich dark
green foliage. 25 to 50 cents each.

PINUS.

P. australis. The Long-Leaved Southern Yellow
Pine. Young trees of this pine make handsome sub-
jects for the conservatory, or for Jawn decoration in
summer at the north. The economical value of its
timber to the south is well known. Selected plants,
1% to 2 feet, 25 cents each; smaller pot-grown, same

rice.
; P. excelsa. The Lofty or Bhotan Pine of the
Himalayas. A beautiful tree. Pot-grown, 40 cents
each.

P. inops. Scrub or Spruce Pine. A very hand-
some tree while young. 25 cents each.

P. longifolia. Emodi Pine, or Cheer Pine.
Burmah. ‘‘A handsome tree, with a branchless stem

for 50 feet, the whole tree attaining a maximum height
somewhat over 100 feet, the girth of the stem 12 feet.

The tree stands exposure and heat well.’’—Von
Mueller. 40 cents each, $4 per dozen, pot-grown.
SEQUOIA.

S. gigantea. The giant Redwood tree of the
Yosemite valley, California. The largest living speci-
mens at the present time are about 300 feet in
height, with a circumference of 90 feet. Young trees
are growing nicely with us, and we see no reason
why they should not succeed in Florida as well as
in California. Good plants, $1.25 each.

S. sempervirens. California Evergreen Red-
wood. In this species the leaves are much broader
than in the preceding, and it is a somewhat hand-
somertree ; does not attain, ultimately, so great a size.
Large plants, 2 to 3 feet, $1.50 each.

KeSES.

Our collection of Roses, though small, is composed of some of the best bloomers, and with very
few exceptions they have all been tested here. In regard to cultivation of roses in this state, it is per-
haps best to say nothing, but leave it entirely to the good judgment of the cultivator; there are so
many different grades of soil that the method that proved a success on one would avail nothing on
another. We have seen the most luxuriant roses on common “flat-woods” land that never had the
least care or attention, and again they will fail in the hands of the most careful cultivator. Itis always
safe to have the ground at least moderately well enriched before setting the plants, and as a rule clean
culture afterwards seems to give best resuits. Fall pruning is necessary if abundant blossoms are
wanted during the winter months.

ChIMBING [LANTSs.

The beauty of flower or foliage, or both combined together, with airy gracefulness in some, or a
dense mass of inter-twining branches clothed with the thickest foliage in others, are the striking
characteristics of this interesting class of plants, and suitable subjects may be had in plenty, either

for window decoration, or for covering the largest arbors.

at least a few climbers.

ABRUS PRECATORIUS.

Crab’s Eye Vine. A beautiful greenhouse climber,
with delicate pinnate leaves; yellow flowers, follow-
ed by bunches of pods, which, when dry, burst open,
disclosing the bright red seeds with black eyes; these
are used for making various articles of jewelry, etc.
This is the so-called “Wonderful Weather Plant”’
that such a fuss was made over last season. Fine
large plants, 30 cents each; 4 for $1.

ALLAMANDA.

A. cathartica. Guiana. A handsome climber,
with large light yellow flowers. 50 cents each.

A. cathartica Hendersoni. A garden variety
of the preceding; flowers very large, five inches in
diameter, rich velvety yellow, with five white spots
at the throat, which is delicately marked with red-
dish brown; the lobes are thick and waxy, tinged
with brown on the outer surface. 35 cents each ; two
fine plants for 50 cents.

A. Schottii. Flowers large, rich yellow; the
throat beautifully striped with golden brown. The
plant is very rare in this country, Henderson’s var-
iety of A. Cathartica being usually substituted. $2
each.

A. Wardleyana. New; one of the greatest Alla-
mandas that has so far been introduced. The flowers
are six inches in diameter, of the richest golden yel-
low, and produced in large clusters. 80 cents each;
two for $1.50.

ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS.

AMPELOPSIS.:

A. quinquefolia. The Virginia Creeper or Wood-
bine. A very valuable climber in any situation, as it
is not particular as to soil or location. 25 cents each;
three for 60 cents.

A. Veitchii. Japanese Ivy. A small leavedfand
beautiful species. 25 and 50 cents each.

ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS.

The Rosa de Montana of Mexico. An elegant
climber that should be more widely distributed ; it is
ordinarily hardy here, but when killed down by frost
it springs up again with renewed vigor, and in a very
short time covers anything it is given to run on.
During the entire summer and fall it is covered with
its rose colored flowers, which are produced on long
racemes in the greatest abundance. The roots are
tuberous, and grow to a large size. At the north they
may be taken up in the fall and wintered in the
cellar. Fine plants, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents.

ARGYREIA NERVOSA.

A magnificent climber, with large roundish leaves,
light green above, silvery white beneath. Flowers
urn-shaped, white, with purple center. Will cover
100 feet of surface in the course of a summer; cou-
sequently it should only be planted in a situation
where it will have plenty of room. 60 cents each;
two for $1.

ARISTOLOCHIA.

A most peculiar and interesting class of plants, of
which the well-known ‘‘Dutchman’s Pipe” is a com-
mon representation. They are exceedingly well
adapted to training along a bay window at the north
or over an arbor or trellis; in the south they will
grow in any situation.

A. cymbifera. Flowers large and of a distinct
boat shape, light green, elegantly marked with pur-
ple and brown. 40 cents each; three for $r.

flowers, blotched and waved with creamy white, are
very striking. 30 cents each; three for 80 cents.

A. grandiflora. In this we have an elegant and
dense climber, that produces the most wonderful
flowers that we have ever seen. Just before opening
they bear a strong resemblance to some bird with a
long arching tail-feather ; this bird bursts open at the
back, and the flower is expanded all at once; it is
then oval in shape, with two long tails hanging from
the underside. In color it is rich purple, shaded to
black in the throat, marked with creamy lines and
spots. Theexpanded flowers measure 1a by 22 inches.

ECHITES.

A class of plants so far very much neglected, prob-
ably because the three following species were prac-
tically unknown in this country, although cultivated
to some extent in Europe. All are climbers, beauti-
tiful in flower and leaf, and are well adapted to
greenhouse culture north, or for open ground in
Florida, as they will sprout readily from the root
if killed down by frost.

GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS.

The Carolina Yellow Jessamine. Exactly why this
—one of the most elegant evergreen climbers we
know of—has not been introduced to the public, we
are ataloss to know. Probably some big northern
florist is holding it in reserve to bring out sometime
as a leading ‘‘novelty’’ at big prices. Our cut re-
presents the plant and flowers much better than we
can describe it. The flowers are the very richest golden
yellow, and the foliage is thick and glossy and of the
deepest green. A specimen vine which we have on
our place is completely covered in spring with thow-
sands of its beautiful flowers, which last several
weeks. At the north it may be grown in a large pot
or box, and wintered either in the greenhouse or
cellar; or if laid downand covered with straw it may
carried through outside as far north as Philadelphia.

PALMS, CYCABS *® SCREW-IINES.

In the whole world of plants the Palm stands pre-eminent ; Linnzus called them the “‘ Princes of
the vegetable kingdom,” and they have held the throne of royalty for centuries. The cultivation of
Palms is one of the most satisfactory branches of floriculture, and they are, without doubt, the most
beautiful and graceful subjects for house culture at the north, or for the grand effects that may be pro-
duced by grouping the more hardy species on our southern lawns. Palms are not hard to grow,and
require a great deal less care than the majority of house plants; give them a deep pot or tub to ac-
commodate the long roots, have this amply drained and filled with rich soil, and re-pot once a year;
give partial shade and plenty of water while the plant is growing, and with an occasional sponging of
the leaves to keep them clean and bright, and no difficulty will be experienced in growing small plants
into fine and valuable specimens.

High prices have deterred many people from purchasing these plants, and it is now our object to
place a grand collection of them before the public at prices at which all may indulge their fancy for
them, and at no greater outlay than for common plants. True, we grow some very rare and high-
priced ones, but these are only offered to people who can afford to buy them. Many of the low-priced
ones are just as handsome, and from our stock of over a hundred thousand plants, we can always
make satisfactory selections. At the following prices plants are sent free by mail, except when two
prices are given; the higher price will indicate a much larger size, and such as can be sent by express
only. Plants of the smaller sizes do not, in most cases, show their true or characteristic leaves, but
will be strong, well rooted, pot-grown plants two or more years old, and if not already showing their
true leaves, they very soon will.

Those followed by an asterisk (*) are the most hardy species for open air planting in Florida.

ACROCOMIA HAVANENSIS.* feet; the edges of the leaves are very irregular in

mental palms, and well suited to house culture; all

sion of names, we list these, and all the other palms
under the names they are commonly known by, and
whenever these names are at fault, the correct name
will follow in italic.

four species of true Chamzrops have been
extensively cultivated, and these, by cross
fertilization, have produced numerous hy-
brids, some of which are very handsome;
and as they are all equally hardy with the
parents, a collection of them is very desir-
able. We have obtained sixteen of the
most distinct varieties, all of which are
named. 30 cents each, or the entire collec-
tion of eighteen varieties for $4.25.

Southern China. One of the most popular palms
in cultivation for decorative work; and, asit is quite
hardy, it is a very suitable plant for open air culture
in Florida. From this species are obtained the well
known palm-leaf fans of commerce. It is advisable
with this, as with most other palms that are to be
planted in the open ground, to give partial shade
after they are once thor-
oughly established, they will grow rapidly, and finally
attain a large size. 15, 35 and 75 cents each; large
plants, by express, $3 to $25 each.

PHGENIX.

PHENIX.

This genus can be most highly recommended for
open air cultivation in Florida, and some of the spe-
cies may be planted with safety in southern Georgia.

‘All are pinnate-leaved, but differ considerably in

manner of growth and appearance. They are all
beautiful palms, and in Europe they take the lead
among decorative plants. Our stock of this genus is
very large and complete.

P. acaulis.* India. A very choicespecies ; leaves
rich dark green; stem very short, resembling more a
large bulb. $t each.

P. Canariensis.* Canary Islands. This palm
has produced fruit in Florida, and is one of the most
rapid growing of all, being in every way desirable.
35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen.

P. farinifera. East Indies. An elegant compact
growing species; very desirable for decorative pur-
poses. 40 cents each.

P. dactylifera.* The well known Date Palm of
Northern Africa and Southern Asia. Trees of this
species have produced fruit for years on Cumber-
land Island, and at St. Augustine. They require
usually about ten years to come into bearing; but
there are cases where they have produced fruit much
sooner. 15 to 25 cents each, $12 to $20 per too.

P. paludosa. India. A rather short-stemmed
species with very long leaves; pinnules long and
drooping. 75 centseach.

P. reclinata.* Southeast Africa. A fine large-
growing species; leaves elegantly recurved. 50
cents each.

P. rupicola.* Himalayas. One ofthe mosttender
of the species, but not likely to be injured in south
Florida. This species is excelled by but few plants
in beauty, and being of somewhat dwarf habit, it is
eminently adapted for florists’ use. 75 cents each,
$7.50 per dozen.

P. spinosa (Syn., P. leonensis). Western trop-
ical Africa. This is perhaps too tender for cultivation
except in south Florida. 25 cents to $3 each.

P. sylvestris.* Bengal. The Wild Date. A very
hardy and rapid growing palm, some magnificent
specimens of which may be seen at Mr. E. H. Hart’s
place, at Federal Point. In India enormous quanti-
ties of sugar are produced annually from the sap of
this palm. 30 cents to $3 each.

P. tenuis. Habitat unknown. Of recent intro-
duction; resembles P. dactylifera somewhat; but is
finer in all its parts. A very handsome palm. 20
cents to $2.50 each.

P. Zeylanica.* Ceylon. A very hardy species,
and one that can be highly recommended. 50 cents
each.

PRITCHARDIA, GAUDICHAUDII.

Sandwich Islands. The Pritchardias are elegant
palms, with immense fan-shaped leaves. The seeds
being extremely difficult to obtain, this plant is very
rare. Small plants, $6 each.

RAPHIA.

Raffia or Roffia Palms. A genus comprising six or
seven species of tall pinnate-leaved palms that are
very remarkable in many respects; the leaves of
some of them rise nearly vertically to a height of 50
feet or more from the trunk, and then arch over
gracefully on all sides, forming a magnificent crown,
Three of the most distinct species, $3.50 each, or the
set of three for $7.50.

RAPHIS FLABELLIFORMIS.

China and Japan. An odd little palm, growing
some seven or eight feet high, with stem not more
than aninchin thickness. It suckers from the root
like the bamboo, and in time forms a dense clump of
canes. 50 cents to $1 each.

——< =

SABAL BLACKBURNIANA.

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX.*

Florida and lower Georgia. A very hardy species,
and a most elegant one for decorative purposes.
‘Around the bases of the petioles bristle numerous
slender, keenly pointed brown spines about fifteen

_ and in Europe.

S. serrulata (Sevena serrulata).* The Saw Pal-
metto of the Southern States. A beautiful fan-palm,
and appreciated for greenhouse culture at the north
Two years, 15 cents each, $1.50 per
dozen, $12 per too.

S. umbraculifera.* One of the largest of the
Sabals, the great fan-shaped leaves frequently meas-
uring six to eight feet in diameter. 50 cents each.

STEVENSONIA GRANDIFLORA.

This is one of the most elegant palms in cultiva-
tion. It comes to us from the Seychelles, and to be
grown successfully, it requires a hot moist house. In
a young state, the leaves are a dark reddish green,

| covered with yellowish spots, the stem and petioles

inches long, a wise provision of nature to preserve |

from harm the flower bud, which just before the burst-

ing of the spathe, resembles a large snowy white egg, |

nestling among the hairy fibres, and which, but for
this protection, would probably be eaten by animals.
The leaf, of a green above and a silver gray beneath,
is deeply slit into narrow ribbons, the points of which,

spurred on one side, are slightly bifid, and the |

slender petioles are roughened with minute prickles.
It is a beautiful leaf.’—z#. AH. Hart. 25 cents to

$2.50 each.
SABAL.

S. Adansonii.* The dwarf palm of Georgia and
Florida. A very hardy species, and a favorite in
greenhouse cultivation. The stem is short, or en-
tirely under ground ; the graceful flower spike rises
well above the fan-shaped leaves. 25 cents each.

S. Blackburniana.* West Indies. One of the
handsomest of the Sabals, and well suited to sub-
tropical gardening or greenhouse decoration. 30
cents each.

S. coerulescens.* A very handsome species, with
light bluish green leaves, which make it conspicuous
ina group of palms. 20 cents each.

S. Palmetto.*
olina. The Cabbage Palm. Visitors to the Southern
States have praised the beauty and majestic appear-
ance of this familiar palm, famous from well known
historical associations which surround it. The flabel-
late pinnatfid leaves are from five to eight feet long,
and nearly as wide. Valuable as a decorative plant
for northern greenhouses. Two years, 15 cents each,
$1.50 per dozen, $12 per roo.

SEAFORTHIA ELEGANS.

Florida, extending to South Car- |

covered thickly with long black spines. Syn., Phe-
nicophorum Sechellarum. Fine young plants, $4 each.

SEAFORTHIA ELEGANS.

Feather Palm. An elegant and very useful green-
house palm. 20 cents each, three for 50 cents.

THRINAX EXCELSA.

THRINAX.

T. argentea. West Indies and extreme south
Florida. An elegant fan-leaved greenhouse palm;
leaves rich shining green above, bright silver be-
neath. 15 cents each.

T. excelsa. Guadaloup, Antigua and Keys of
south Florida. We found this magnificent palm
growing on two or three of the southwestern Keys,
while on a voyage of discovery last October, and it
is as yet an undescribed species in the flora of the
United States. The fan-shaped leaves are very large,
four to five feet long and about the same in diameter ;
light green above, hoary-glaucous beneath; trunk
twenty feet high, ten to twelve inches in diameter.

| Small plants, 15 cents each.

T. multiflora. Hayti. A rare and beautiful
species ; leaves fan-shaped, as are all the Thrinax.
$1.50 each.

T. parviflora. West Indies and south Florida.
Royal Palmetto Palm. Leaves a rich dark green on
both sides, four feet long by six feet wide; stems
very slender and at times attaining a height of thirty
feet. An elegant greenhouse species. 25 cents each.

T. radiata. Trinidad. Another elegant species;
leaves deeply cleft, divisions numerous. 75 cts. each.

WALLICHIA.

W. disticha. India. A stemless species; the
leaves rising from the ground resemble the fronds of
some immense fern. One of the most elegant palms
in cultivation, and exceedingly rare. $1 each.

W. porphyrocarpa. Ceylon. This species is
similar to the preceding in many respects, but the
leaves seem to have more substance, and are a richer
and darker green; veryrare. A few plants at $2 each.

tain true seeds of this palm, but without success
until the past season. We now havea limited quan-
tity of plants that we can guarantee true to name.
This palm has been advertised with glowing descrip-
tions for several years at the north, and great claims
made as to its hardiness and rapidity of growth. 50
cents each.

CYCABS.

An order of small palm-like trees of very slow growth. The foliage ot most of them is very
handsome, and remarkable in that it retains its beauty forsome years. All are easily grown in any good
garden soil, but pots should be well drained, and water should be applied sparingly during the winter

months.
CYCAS.

C. circinalis. East Indies. A slender stemmed
species, the leaves sometimes attaining a length of 12
feet; dark green on the upper surface, paler below.

FERNS AND SELRAGINELLAS.

Whether viewed collectively as plants of great beauty and general interest when grown as speci-
mens, or for their general utility in the arrangement of cut-flower work, both Ferns and Selaginellas

are indispensable.

‘Lhey are of the easiest cultivation, and nearly all will thrive in a soil composed

of leaf-mould and sand in equal parts, through which a little broken brick may be mixed. The recep-
tacle for this should have ample drainage, and should be ina position where it will be shaded trom

Aeuatic [PLANTS.

This class of plants is deservedly attracting a good deal of attention, and considering the ease
with which they may be grown, and the beauty of both flower and foliage, it is not to be wondered at.
The aquatic garden may be of any desired size, and if the dimensions be limited to a half-barrel it is

none the less attractive.

In using tubs or half-barrels, it is best to sink them to the rims in the desir-

ed spot, half fill with rich earth and manure, plant the lily tubers and fill up with water. They will
only require to be filled up as the water evaporates. Larger pools may be made with brick and cement

at no great cost.

We saw several such while on a visit at the north, last August, in which were grow-

ing at least fifteen or more different species of water plants, nearly all of which were in bloom, the
colors running through all the shades of blue, pink, red and yellow. They were very effective.

BRASENIA PELTATA. (Water Shield.)

A very pretty and native plant; suitable for
aquariums or edgings of small aquatic gardens. 10
cents each.

EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES MAJOR.

(The Water Hyacinth.)

One of the most curious and interesting plants
we have ever seen. It grows not in the soil, but while
floating on the water, which it is enabled to do by
means of its inflated leaf-stems ; the beautiful rose-
colored flowers are produced on spikes, something
after the manner of hyacinths, each flower being as
large asa silver dollar. The plant is suited either to
aquariums or the largest aquaticjgardens. Large
plants, 20 cents each.

LIMNOCHARIS HUMBOLDTII.
(Water Poppy.)

An elegant little plant from South America; very
easily grown in a tub or shallow pond. Flowers
bright lemon yellow, and very freely produced ail
sumimer. 15 cents each.

LIMNANTHEMUM TRACHYSPERMUM.

A curious native plant, with round yellowish green
leaves with dark veins. Its flowers, which are freely
produced, are borne on the same stem with the

leaves. 10cents each.
NYMPHAEA.
N. alba. The beautiful white water Lily of the

south. Wehave a large stock of these, and can offer
them at very low prices. 25 cents each.

N. odorata. The common fragrant white water
lily. This well known and beautiful species will
always be very popular. 50 cents each.

N. flava. A native of Florida, and found nowhere
else. Flowers bright golden yellow. 30 cents each.

N. stellata. An Indian species. Flowers a beau-
tiful light blue. $1 each.

N. Zanzibarensis azurea. The wonderful Blue
African Water Lily. Perhaps no Nympheza that has
ever been introduced can compare with this in beau-
ty and profusion of flowers. It is constantly in bloom
the entire summer ; it flowers, a rich azure blue, are
delighifully fragrant, and on well grown specimens
are as much as twelve inches across. The leaves are
also very handsome dark shining green, covered

with brown spots.
very high prices.

NUPHAR ADVENA.

The common Yellow Water Lily, Spatter-Dock or
Bonnet. 20 cents each.

NELUMBIUM SPECIOSUM.

The Sacred Lotus of Egypt. This is certainly one
of the grandest water plants. It should begrown in
a pond, with mud or muck bottom, as it does not suc-
ceed well in sand. The fragrant pink flowers are
borne on long stalks, and rise well above the im-
mense leaves.

So far it has been impossible to obtain enough
tubers to supply the demand. Orders will be booked
for delivery next spring, and filled in rotation until
stock is exhausted. $2 each, $20 per dozen.

N. luteum. The American Lotus. Although this
is a native of this country, it is extremely rare; it
thrives under the same conditions as the preceding,
and differs from it only in the color of the flowers,
which area richsulphur-yellow. Large roots, $1 each.

ORONTIUM AQUATICUM. (Godden Club.)

A very beautiful native plant, producing curiously
shaped flowers ; will grow either in water or wet soil.
I5 cents each.

PISTIA STRATIOTES.

The Water-Lettuce. A curious native plant, form-
ing rosettes of leaves eight or ten inches in diameter.
The plant floats on the surface of the water, and does
not attach its roots to the bottom. 15 cents each.

PELTANDRA VIRGINICA. (47r0w Arum.)

A very handsome plant resembling a dwarf calla,
the flowers are almost exactly like the calla, but
smaller. 15 cents each.

PONTEDERIA CORDATA.

Another of our native aquatics that is well worth
growing. The bright blue flowers are produced in
racemes and are very pleasing 15 cents each.

THALIA DIVARICATA.

A native plant that should be more universally
grown. The foliage is magnificent, the leaves rising
on long petioles to a height of eight or ten feet; the
flower scape with its branching panicles of small
purple flowers, rises well above the leaves. 25 cents.

Never before offered except at
Fine roots, 75 cents each.

je= SPECIAL COLLECTIONS of water plants will be made by us, for convenience of customers,
at $5, $10 or $20, and these will include species of alocasia, caladium, musa, maranta, amomum, hedy-
chiun, sarracenia, iris and other moisture-loving plants that can be used as a background or side group

to the aquatic garden.

All sent postpaid by us; or larger plants, by express, at purchaser’s expense.

CACTI.

Cacti are among the most singular productions of the vegetable kingdom, combining curious and

grotesque forms with rare beauty of flowers.

Our collection comprises most of the best kinds, and

the plants we send out have all been established, have good roots, and are free from worms and scale.
We have also made arrangements by which we get large quantities at much lower rates than formally,

aud we are, therefore, able to reduce the price very considerably.

In growing cacti in pots, give

them plenty of drainage, and use a sandy or pebbly soil, mixed with a third of rich loam. During the
winter months they may be kept very nearly dry; never, under any circumstances, allow the soil in
the pots to be very wet, or injury to the plant will be sure to follow. Cacti require but little care, and
a collection of them is sure to prove very interesting and satisfactory.

ANHALONIUM.

A. prismaticum. A rare plant fromthe mount-
ains of Mexico. Form globular; the prism-shaped,
pearl-grey points are entirely spineless; flowers sil-
very white. with yellow anthers. $1 to $3 each.

A. Williamsii. A queer carrot-shaped species;
flowers pale rose. 25 cents each.°

ASTROPHYTUM MYRIOSTIGMA.
(Bishop's Hood.)

A very handsome and distinct plant.

CEREUS.

This genus comprises upwards of 200 species,
among which are the giants of the cactus family.
These may be divided into two groups, one with
erect, rigid stems, while in the other the stems are
slender, and require a wall or trellis for their support.
The following are a few of the best:

C. atropurpureus. 75 cents each.

C. azureus.
from Chili. $1 each.

co, and consequently require at all times a rather
cool but moist atmosphere; and when these condi-

abundance of water, but should not be placed in a

| There are many varieties, the color running from

pure white, through all the shades of pink and red to
richest crimson, while many have flowers variegated
pink and white, or red and white.

We offer a good selection of the most distinct col-
ors, and if purchasers, in ordering, will state color
wanted, we can fill orders quite as satisfactorily as
where a long list of names is given. We also grow
many seedlings, the color of which cannot be told
until they flower, but as there will be hardly any
two exactly alike, there is a good deal of pieasure to
be derived in growing and watching them, and now
and then a very choice flower is found that will repay
many times the cost of a dozen plants.

pally froma closely allied species—Z. resinifera—a
plant indigenous to Morocco. 50 cents each; large

tably the old Gen. Grant and one or two others,
together with the rose geranium and other scented
leaved sorts; but the best and most showy are only
suited to pot culture on the piazza, or other shaded

decorative purposes. 35 cents to $1 each.

Florida; and why it has not become better known is

north. Flowers in cymes, of a bright orange color,
and freely produced, nearly all summer. 35 cents
each, $2.50 per dozen.

bloom ; here in the open ground it is in flower from
July to October. It prefers a moist, partially-shaded

Rose. One of the most curious of the genus. The
large double flowers are pure white in the morning,
changing to pink at noon, and by night are a uniform
light-red ; and as the flowers last for nearly half the
next day, the contrast between them and the newly
opened white ones is very striking. In November it
should be cut back nearly to the ground; this keeps
the plant in a compact form, and the flowers are
larger and better. 25 cents each.

H. Sabdariffa. The Jamaica Indian Sorrel. A
very Ornamental plant, and also a very useful one.
It furnisher the ‘‘ Rozelle hemp” of the Madras ter-
ritories, and the fleshy calyxes are used to make an
excellent jelly, really a very good substitute for cran-
berries. 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen.

glossy foliage; valuable for its fiber, as are most of
the others. 50 cents each.
