FLOWER PLANTS.
We are now making a specialty of this branch of our business, and are devoting a large space to the growing of flower plants, exclusively for the mail trade, as they require special culture for this purpose and must be hardy as well as strong, vigorous and healthy. Plants that have been pushed ahead and had a mushroom growth, such as is common in hot-houses, are of but little value for mailing. This list contains many desirable novelties this year.
We have adopted a new system of packing which is so very complete that plants arrive in almost as perfect a condition after traveling many hundreds of miles as they were when packed.
At prices named we send the plants postpaid. When plants are ordered to be sent by express, we not only send larger plants, but also put in enough extras to cover the express charges, and where it is possible to do so, we would advise our customers to have their plants shipped in this way.
Size of Plant Orders.
While we wish to be as accommodating as possible we must decline to fill plant order amounting to less than 50 cents. By our careful system of packing, it is impossible for us to pack an order at a cost of much less than 25 cents, no matter if the order is only for a single plant; consequently it will readily be seen from this that all orders for less than 50 cents would have to be filled at a loss. Plant orders amounting to less than 50 cents are not desired, and will not be filled unless 10 cents extra is sent to cover our extra cost of package and postage. In club orders it will make no difference as to the size of each one’s order, provided they are all sent at one time to one address. Above applies to plant orders only. No matter how small the seed order, if only for a single packet, we are always glad to fill it.

Complete List of Best Plants.
AZALEA INDICA.—One of the showiest and prettiest of all greenhouse shrubs, flowers are produced in great profusion and are of various colors, from pure white to dark crimson. There are also striped and double varieties. Plants should be plunged in some shady place through the summer. Fine imported plants in best named single and double varieties. Each, 50c, large plants, $1.00.
ARISTOLOCHIA.—A vigorous and rapid growing climber, bearing singular brownish colored flowers, resembling in shape a Dutchman’s pipe. Its flowers, however, are of little value, beside its fine light green leaves, which are of very large size, and retain their color from early spring to late fall. The plant grows very quickly, and soon makes a dense shade. For arbors or trellises, or for making a screen, it is invaluable. It readily attains a height of 20 feet and is perfectly hardy. Each 25.
ABUTILONS.—Rapid growing plants, blooming almost the entire year; flowers pendulous and bell-shaped:
Gauntlet.—Vermillion red. Each 10c.
Layelion.—Bright golden yellow. Each 10c.
Snow Ball.—Pure white. Each 10c.
Mesopotamicum Variegatum.—Leaves blotched and marbled; plant of a trailing or drooping habit; very attractive for vases, baskets or rock work. Each 10c.
Thompsonii Piena (Double)—The only double variety of its class. Flower rich, deep orange, shade and streaked crimson foliage, variegated; free flowering; good border plant. Each 15c.
ACHANIA, Malvaviscus.—A vigorous growing plant resembling Abutilons in habit and growth; valuable alike for bedding or pot culture, blooming profusely throughout the entire year, flowers brilliant scarlet. Each 10c.
AMPELOPSIS Veitchi (Boston Ivy)—This is one of the finest climbers we have for covering walls, as it clings firmly to the smoothest surface, covering it smoothly with overlapping leaves, which form a perfect mass of foliage. The color is a fresh, deep green in summer, changing to the brightest shade of crimson and yellow in autumn. It is quite hardy. Each 25c.
ACHILLEA ALBA, The Pearl.—A new variety originating in France; the flowers are much larger than Achillea Alba Flore Plena, and instead of a trailing habit, the growth is erect, forming a beautiful plant from 18 inches to two feet in height. It is completely covered with pure white flowers from July until frost, is perfectly hardy, and will thrive in any soil or situation. Each 15c.
ALTERNANTHERAS.—Very bright colored, dwarf growing foliage plants, introduced from Buenos Ayres in 1732. They are largely used for carpet bedding, borders, etc. We grow several varieties. Each 10c., per doz. 75c.
ALOYSIA, Citriodora (Lemon Verbena)—Foliage delightfully fragrant; to simply brush against it is enough to perfume an entire room with its delicious lemon odor. Each 15c.
