INTRODUCTION.
'N presenting my Catalogue of North American Wild Flowers and Ferns for
1 1886, I am pleased to note the increasing interest shown for the wild
beauties of our lakes, marshes, fields, and woods. | Many calls are for the
more common woodland plants of New England from persons who gathered
them here in their childhood. The plants die down in autumn, are mulched
through the winter with a covering of leaves and snow, and in early spring we |
find some showing flower even before the frost is gone, and as they fade others
take their places, and thus we have a continual bloom of wild flowers from
early spring to late autumn.
The mode of culture most popular is to copy after nature. If it be a moist,
shady place to be beautified. native Perennials are planted, naturally found in
such situations. If it be a small lake we wish to improve, we have a fine col-
lection of Native Aquatic Plants to select from, like the pure white Water Lily
(Nymphea odorata), Orontium aquaticum, with its large green velvety leaves
floating on the surface. Pontedera cordata, &c., &c.; and on the border we put
Lobelia cardinalis, Gentiana Andrewsii, Gratiola aurea, Triliums, Andromeda
polifolia, Azalea viscosa, Ilex verticillata, Cassandra calyculata, &c. If it bea
shady, moist, rocky hillside we wish to beautify, we have only to plant Moun-
tain Flowering Plants and Ferns to have a large, natural rockery. For a dry,
shady place, plant Epigza repens, Gaultheria procumbens, &c. Ishall be pleased
to make selections for parties who wish our Native Plants for small or large
Rockeries, Ferneries, open sun or shade culture. I offer a few collections for
Rockeries, &c., which are well adapted for this mode of culture.
I have had collected the past season seed of some of the most beautiful of our
Wild Flowers, which I offer in separate packets. I have added to my Catalogue
the beautiful sweet-scented Pearl Tuberose. I also offer fresh Sage by mail.
Single Plants of a species will be sent by mail. postpaid, to any address in the
United States, on receipt of Catalogue prices; but at the 12 or 100 rates, post-

munication with me.

ORCHIDS
In this list will be found nearly all the rare and desirable Orchids of the
United States; and I trust that all who have cultivated them are convinced that,
for beauty and peculiar structure, no other order of Plants can surpass them.
While a few are more desirable for botanical study, others, like the Cypripedi-
ums, when planted in masses, give gorgeous colors and markings, which must
be seen to be appreciated. Those marked with a * seem to be better adapted
for cultivation in this locality.

Most of the Ferns of this list are very easy of culture, requiring but little care
after once established. About 60 species and varieties are perfectly hardy in
this locality ; over 30 species are dug in Hampden County. The graceful green
foliage of the different species is a constant beauty through the summer months.
They are graceful on the lawn, and help to show off the bright markings of

~ Seed of our Wild Flowers.
I offer seed of the following desirable Wild Flowers, in separate packets, by
mail, postpaid, to any part of the United States, or any other country belong-
ing to the Universal Postal Union, at prices given. |
Seed of our Wild Flowers should be sown ina finely prepared bed, moderately
enriched with leaf mould and well decayed manure, in a moist, shady place, and
never allow the surface of the soil to become dry, but at the same time give the
bed good drainage, so that the soil will not become saturated with water; keep
the weeds out, and cultivate the soil as for other seed. Transplant to perma-
nent bed when plants are one or two years old. Some kinds, like the Lilies, re-
quire two years, while the Aquilegias require only one.
