WY the following trade quotations on our superior stock of Plants, Seeds 
and Bulbs, which are in every case of the highest.grade to be found 

on the market. 


The business outlook for the New Year is indeed encouraging, our fiies being 


already loaded with orders for spring shipment; and the indications are that the 


trade in florists’ stock the present year will fully compensate for the recent general

Decorative Plants. 


ALL PLANTS ARE MEASURED FROM TOP OF POT. 


| PALMS. 


Nothing in the florist’s line of Decorative Plants is more important than the Palm, the sale being 


constant and at all times profitable. 


Our stock of these plants, it is well-known, is second to none in 


America, and our prices are right, as will be found by comparison. Our Palms always give satisfac- 


tion, because being grown im a low temperature, they are particularly sturdy and hardy, making them 


much more useful for house culture than if grown in greater heat. 


We mention below the varieties 


and sizes most in demand for florists’ trade. Prices on other varieties, as well as on specimen plants, 


will be furnished on application.

STROBILANTHES DYWER- 
IANUS. 


Wherever exhibited the past year, this unique 
plant attracted universal attention, and created 
quite a sensation throughout the trade. Having a 
robust constitution it stands our summers to per- 
fection, propagates quickly, and isas easily grown 
as Coleus. For bedding out this beautiful plant 
cannot be surpassed, while it is invaluable for 
pot-culture. The whole plant, while being beau- 
tifully variegated, has a pea-cock blue luster, pro- 
ducing an effect at once surprising and pleasing 
to the eye. We know of no other plant of recent 
introduction that presents such a charming ap- 
pearance on the lawn or border, and no live florist 
will fail to secure a stock for spring orders. Strong 
plants, in 3-inch pots, $2.50 per doz., $15 per roo.

BEGONIAS, Tuberous- 
Rooted. 


We have great pleasure in again offering to the 
trade our unparalleled strain of single and double 
Tuberous Begonias, which are of excellent quality 
and still further improved. The flowers stand 
erect on short-jointed footstalks, and are of large, 
fine circular form ; the habit of the piant is dwarf 
and sturdy. In these desirable points the strain 
presentsamarkedimprovement. The most lovely 
and brilliant shades are present in the wide range 
of colors, which comprises deepest crimson, bright 
reds, intense scarlet orange, bright orange, pink, 
rose, deep rose, salmon, apricot, pale yellow, deep 
yellow, blushand white. Asbedding plants they 
are indispensable, totally eclipsing the Geranium 
both in flower and color. With the price now 
considerably reduced, they come within the reach 
of all, at the same time allowing the florist and 
retailers handsome profits.

NEW ASTER ‘LADY IN WHITE.”’ 


(Novelty.) 

This new variety is offered this year for the 
first time, and differs from all other varieties of 
this extensive family yet introduced, in the pecu- 
liarly beautiful form of foliage, the leaves being 
long, very narrow, and a striking light green in 
color, a decided improvement upon the stiffness 
so common to most other classes of Aster. In 
habit of growth this variety somewhat resembles 
the Mignon Aster, from which it has been ob- 
tained. The semi-globular flowers are borne on 
very slender stems, a single plant producing not 
less than 40 buds, and sometimes as many as 70, 
which open into flower gradually, thus prolonging 
the flowering period. 50 cts. per trade pkt.

ASTER 


NEW WHITE BRANCHING ASTER. 


Athough this is a novelty of last year’s intro- 
duction, it 1s one that will recommend itself, and 
command attention for some years to come. Its 
remarkable feature, and that which dis- 
tinguishes it from other varieties, is its 
peculiar habit of growth and form of 
flower. The large, handsome, pure white 
flowers are borne in great profusion on 
long, stiff stems, the slender, graceful 
petals spreading thickly in every direc- 
tion. Indeed, the flowers are often mis- 
taken for Chrysanthemums, and being 
a very late bloomer, this heightens the 
illusion. Plants of this excellent novelty 
are easily raised from seed, one of our 
packets producing an abundant quantity. 
15 cts. per trade pkt. 


BALL OR JEWEL ASTERS. 


This beautiful class of Asters, which 
belongs to the short-petaled, pzony-flow-

popularity. The flowers are very double, 
with symmetrically incurving petals, mak- 
ing them almost exactly spherical. Apple

PRIZE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 


P. & M.’S PRIZE CHRYSANTHEMUM 
SEED. 


Seedling Chrysanthemums are becoming the 
fashion of late years, and thousands of new vari- 
eties crop up every fall, the majority only to be 
cut down again by public disapproval. It is 
remarkable that during the past five years we 
have originated and disseminated more varieties 
of merit that have been commended by the hor- 
ticultural public, and awarded diplomas, certifi- 
cates, gold medals andcash prizes, thanany other 


firm in the world. This appears a strong state- | 


ment, but it is true, as is proved by statistics. 


PircHER & -ManpDa, SHort Hits, N. J. 


From this superb collection we have during the | 


past season, at great expense, saved one of the 
finest strains of Chrysanthemum Seed, we venture 
to say, that has ever been offered to the public 
Our own sowings have been made from identically 
the same stocks we offer below, which we have 
no doubt whatever will produce many prize-win- 
ners next year. A packet of seed, costing 50 
cents, may produce a new variety worth hundreds 
of dollars to the grower. During the past fall 
every mail contained enthusiastic letters from 
customers, expressing their great satisfaction at 


the marvelous results from their sowing of our | 


Chrysanthemum Seed, the majority of them being 


CENTAUREA CYANUS NANA COMPACTA 
VICTORIA. (Mixed Colors.) 


This fine annual is especially adapted for carpet- 
bedding, and equally suitable for pot-culture. 
The single blooms are somewhat smaller than 
those of the ordinary Cornflower, and larger 
than those of the dwarf variety, and in color 
range through White, Lilac, Rose, Blue and 
Red. The plant grows 6 inches high, form- 
ing a perfect ball, completely covered with flow-

erally double flowers, from four to five months 
after the time of sowing. We find that this

NEW GIANT COLEUS, MONSTROSUS. 


Unfortunately, we were unable to have an illus- 
tration of this new plant prepared in time for 
use in this Catalogue, but from the introducer’s 
brief description, a fair idea of it may be 
had: ‘*Monstrous” is not too strong a word to 
express the size of this new Coleus. Cultivated 
in pots, the plants attain a height of six and one= 
half feet, and produce variegated and beautifully 
formed leaves one foot wide, and two feet 
long. For striking effect, we know of nothing 
50 cents per trade pkt. 


NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERING MORNING 
GLORY. 


This being the first double-flowered Morning 
Glory ever introduced, we have nodoubt it will be 
1eartily welcomed as an important addition to this 
classof plants. It isa rapid grower, and produces 
its large, handsome flowers freely, about 80 per 
cent. coming double from seed. The flowers are 
white, with 
base of the larger petal.

CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM. 


CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM. We 
would specially call the attention of florists 
to our strain of Cyclamen fersicum gigan- 
teum. They are double the size of those gener- 
ally seen, and for brilliancy of color and lasting 
substance of the flowers cannot be equalled. 
We have every confidence in recommending 
this stock, as is it produced from the cele- 
brated strain of B. S. Williams, England.

A beautiful acquisition to the annual Pinks,

DATURA CORNUCOPIA. 
(Horn of Plenty.) 

A novelty of great merit, introduced by us 
two years ago, and catalogued last year and 
this by all the leading seedsmen. Awardeda 
gold medal and diploma at the recent Colum- 
bian Exposition, and a first-class certificate 
of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society 
of London. The plant grows 2 to 3% feet 
high, and bears during a single season from 
z00 to 300 immense Cornucopia-shaped 
blooms, nearly a foot long and half a foot 
wide at the mouth, formed by 3 perfect flow- 
ers growing each within the other, inside the 
mouth a delicate cream- 
white, outside to the base 
of the flower, a rich, royal 
purple. Florists having 
stores will find a great de- 
mand for this article, it 
having been well adver- 
tised all over the country.

MYOSOTIS ALPESTRIS ‘‘ JEWEL.”’ 
(Dwarf Forget-me-not.) 


An entirely new variety, being a sport from 
Myosotis alpestris Victorza, but much larger in 
the flowers. The plants are very strong and 
compact, forming solid ball-shaped bushes, bear- 
ing from 40 to 45 perfect flower-stems. The 
flower is composed of onedouble central blossom, 
encircled by innumerable smaller ones, forming 
altogether a beautiful-looking cluster, which lasts 
along period in bloom, The color is a beautiful 
sky-blue, brighter than any other variety known. 
For beds and borders, and especially for bouquet 
work, this novelty will be found invaluable. 

There has also been introduced during the past 
seasona pure white-flowering form of the above. 
Either color, separate, 15 cts. per trade pkt. 


FORGET-ME-NOT ‘Blue Perfection.’’ 


(Myosotis dissitiflora grandiflora.) 


A novelty of great merit, being awarded first 
prizes in Hamburg and Hanover, at recent exhi- 
bitions. The pale blue blossoms are remarkably 
large, and are borne in strong, well-formed um- 
bels, almost covering the compact-growing plant. 
Blooming early, it is especially valuable for 
forcing, and an excellent thing for pot-culture and 
cutting. 25cts. per trade pkt.,

This unique and attractive plant, originated in | 
East Africa, and, disseminated from Europe, at- | 


tracted universal attention at the recent Industrial 


Exhibition at Erfurt, Germany, where it was ex- | 


hibited side by side with the older kinds, and pro- 
nounced to be the finest ornamental 
plant on the grounds. It produces enormously 
large leaves, brownish purple when in a young 
state, gradually changing to dark green, with red- 
dish ribs. The seeds themselvea*®are very novel, 
being the size shown in the accompanying cut, and 
curiously marbled white and black.

excellent condition until far into winter. to cts. 
per packet, 3 for 25 cts. 


THE FAXON.

something remarkable, fruits often remaining in 
good condition in the cellar until early May.

summer Squash. t1octs. per pkt., 3 for 25c.

TOMATO— 
NEW EARLY RED TREE TOMATO. 


That which especially recommends this To- 
mato over similar varieties of its class, is the fact 
that it has little foliage and few branches, grow- 
ing upright and sturdy, and producing immense 
quantities of finely formed Tomatoes of good 
size, carried well above the ground and close to 
the stem. The fruit, being entirely exposed, 
ripens very much earlier than other Tree To- 
matoes, whose fault of late ripening has prevented 
their general use. In quality this variety is unsur- 
passed. 25 cts. per packet.

|_NEW WHITE-FLOWERING BEDDING or 
CARPET THYME. 


This charming. new, snow-white variety always 
comes true from seed, and is especially recom- 
mended on account of its adaptability toalmost any 
situation, its low, cushion-like habit of growth 
making it invaluable for all kinds of carpet bed- 
ding, rockeries, and permanent border planting. 
It stands cutting, and is excellent for planting on 
steep hills and curves where few other plants 
thrive well, making a most valuable substitute for 
grass, as itis unaffected by the greatest drought. 
When planted 5 to ro inches apart, the plants will 
spread and occupy all the space between, making 
a perfect carpet. The foliage presents a pure, 
| vivid green, much better than the type, and the 
plant has a powerful and pleasing aroma. 25 cts.

SACALINE, THE NEW FORAGE PLANT. 


ee ee ~ SACALINE. 
eat ue 1 (Polygonum Sachalinense. ) 


_ Although this plant has been cultivated for a great many years as an ornamental foliage plant, it 
was only in 1893 that its important and valuable properties were discovered by an accident which in 
itself was a great recommendation to the new forage plant. A drought, destroying every other forage - 

_ plant in France during the season above mentioned, tailed to affect this variety. As an experiment, 
_ it was given to horses, cattle and sheep, who took to it with great relish. 

We have been growing it on our herbaceous farms for several years, where it has proved itself 
perfectly hardy, thriving luxuriantly on the most barren, rocky soil. It has received great praise 
- from the horticultural and agricultural press all over the world, and in this country it is especially 
Tecognized as an invaluable addition to our somewhat limited list of forage plants. Owing to its 
--_—_—_ extremely vigorous growth, sometimes attaining a height of 12 feet by June, it will bear pulne 
er throughout the whole season. 1% oz. packet He cts., 4 lb. $3. 


Lathyrus gilveciris Wagneri.

_ A wonderful new fodder plant, claimed by the introducer to have been given a thorough trial 
-all over Europe, and found to thrive perfectly in all climates and on the poorest of sandy, stony 
soils, despite continued aridity. The cuttings of hay from this profitable crop contain 25 per cent. 
moth 31 per cent. proteine (the basis of the vegetable tissue), twice as much as found in the best clover. 
After being cultivated for three years, the field requires no more care or attention, continuing to give 
ee _ abundant crops for fifty years to come. 
ee ‘Being analyzed by a celebrated chemist of Germany, ie valuable plant was found to contain 
ee’ 2B. 98 per cent. moisture, 21.02 per cent solid matter. The solid matter contains 22.21 per cent.~

highly recommended from Europe, and we feel certain will become as popular in this country.
