[YH BEST wishes for the New Year to the florists’ trade, we submit
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

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 DYERIANUS.
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

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-
ers. 25 cts. per trade pkt.

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

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

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.

pods. Each plant bears from 25 to 40 pods, which
are full of ‘‘meat,” there being no space between

recommend it to every market gardener and lover
of good vegetables. Itisadwarf bush Bean, unsur-
passed in quality, and isready for the table 2 weeks

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.

Of extraordinary size, and in texture and flavor
the equal of any Tomato. 40 cts. per 0z., $5

|_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.

_ 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.~
ae _ proteine, 4.93 per cent. fat, 38.38 per cent. starch, 26.50 per cent. woody fibre, 7.46 per cent. ashes.
ae ~ Everyone requiring fodder for horses or cattle should give this remarkable plant a trial. It comes
highly recommended from Europe, and we feel certain will become as popular in this country.
