Synopsis

Excerpt from Pitcher and Manda

Although our establishment is not one of the oldest, yet we are recognized as leading originators an'd disseminators in a proper manner of really valuable new and distinct plants, which have come promptly to the front and received acknowledgment and wide distribution as the best of their respective classes. In the following pages the majority of plants offered are of our raising or introduction, while others we have selected from the descriptions of other reliable growers, with confidence that they are just what they are represented to be. A catalogue of new and rare plants, seeds and bulbs does not necessarily cover only introductions which are thus presented for the first time, but many which, though exhib ited and brought before the public before, were not in sufficient quantity to give the gar dening public an opportunity to possess them. While we include some such articles, the majority of our productions are now offered to the public for the first time. The prices for these plants, seeds and bulbs have been put down as low as possible, in order that they may be within reach of every ?ower lover. The attention of those who receive only this Novelty Catalogue is directed to our complete General Catalogue, a magnificent volume of 248 pages, illustrated with over 100 photo-process reproductions from photographs (taken by our own artist) of the actual stock we sell. This Catalogue, the most elaborate and expensive issued in America, is sent to any address on receipt of 25 cents, which amount is returned in goods as per the offer on order-sheet in Novelty Catalogue. In our General Catalogue will be found a long list of the most valuable and useful plants. Seeds and bulbs, at popular prices, with accurate descriptions and illustrations; but it is not possible in the Novelty portion, nor even in the great General Catalogue, to publish descriptions of one-fourth of the stock we carry, the great extent and variety of which can only be appreciated by a personal visit to our Nurseries.
