IS
America, to which we are constantly adding, both by our own propagation of the most desirable species, and
by large importations from the various (luarters of the globe in which are found growing these strange and most
beautiful members of the floral kingdom.
It has always been with us a labor of love as well as a matter of business, wherefore we may be pardoned for
our enthusiasm. Indeed, anyone who has ever engaged in the culture of Orchids will agree with us, that it is a most

great Creator of whose wonders these are but a fragment. There is something about these plants which, while they
may attract first only from curiosity aroused by the grotesque form of a particular species, will always hold the nature-lover with triple bands of intei-est, surprise and admiration, constantly growing as he sees new wonders in the
unfolding of rare flowers, and astonishing him with the peculiarities of growth and habit often presented.
The idea often obtains, that Orchids are very difticult of growth, and indeed even successful Orchid growers
were of opinion that special greenhouses must be devoted to their culture, and specially troublesome conditions
maintained therein. That this is erroneous anyone maj' easily be convinced by a visit to our nurseries, where the
most beautiful and lovely Orchids are seen blooming and flourishing as luxuriantly as in their native habitat right

classes in the construction of the plant, and particularly in the strange and varied forms of the flowers. They are
found growing in a large part of the habitable globe, although more especially in the warm and torrid regions of
the tropics, and their very remarkable floAvers take on most wonderful and peculiar shapes, often of exquisite beauty,
and are generally of rich fragrance. There are two main divisions the tekrestkial Orchids, so called because they
grow in the ground, and the epiphytal (sometimes called celestial) Orchids, which maintain themselves in nature
by attaching their long adventitious roots to the trunks of trees and rocks, deriving their support from the atmosphere not from the object upon which thej' fasten, as is often erroneously supposed. These latter usually have
thick, fleshy leaves, which, with their peculiar '-pseudo-bulbs" (really meaning imitation bulbs), act as storage

COLLECTIONS OF ORQMID5.
Many

flower lovers who-^'ould gladly enjoy Orchids are deterred from beginning their fascinating culture from
the apparent difficulty in selecting suitable varieties for a beginning, catalogues offering such a bewildering assortment that they know not which to purchase. To such friends we can give entire satisfaction by selecting for
them, only requiring to know the amount to be expended, and the accommodations that can be offered for the plants.
judicious assortment will provide a wide range of form and coloring in the floAvers, as well as a constant succession of bloom throughout the year. We have often made up such collections for our customers, with most satisfactorj- results.
One customer in Canada writes, saying he has scarcely been without blossoms since receiving the
selection of less than one hundred plants which we sent him about a year ago, and expects to have floAvers continuously this shoAvs the range afforded by proper selection within a comparatively limited number of ])lants.
Those who prefer to make their OAA*n selections, and yet are uncertain as to suitable A'arieties, are referred to

DENDBiOCHILTJM. A small genus consisting of plants


having small pseudo-bulbs and nar-

evei'green leaves. The flower spikes, which proceed from the top of the bulbs in an arching manner,
are eight to ten inches in length, covered all over with
hundreds of densely set miniature flowers of a light

row

straw color and most deliciously sweet scented. They


bloom in winter, and the flowers remain a long time in
perfection. These plants do best in fibrous peat and
moss, with plenty of good drainage.

their beautiful leaves, some of which are of rich olive

Orchids for Intermedi/ite Temper/iture.


Varieties best suited for Beginners in Orchid Culture.

CAREFULLY

selected list of Orchids which are not expensive, and which can be easily
manai^ed under ordinary circumstances, and in ordinary greenhouse temperature of from 48 to
55 decrees at night during
winter, with a little increase as spring weather approaches. There are many beautiful
varieties included
this collection. They need no special or separate house, but can be grown
in an ordinary greenhouse, rose or plant
houses, with much the same regular treatment as other plants, the only difference
being that they should be kept
from the direct hot rays of the sun. Orchids, like other plants like moisture, air and general
attention. If treated
as directed, they will richly repay the cultivator.
It must not be supposed that because these Orchids are recommended as
being cheap and easily grown, they are
inferior; on the contrary, many of the richest and finest varieties are here
included. All the plants offered are
well established.

CYFB.IFEDIUM.

This remarkably distinct genus

consists partly of terrestrial and partly of epiphytal


species, but the tropical species included in this list

are all epiphytes. They have mostly very short stems,


bearing leathery leaves, from the base of which the several flower scapes issue. Many of the Cypripedes have
well-marked foliage as well as flowers, and on this account ought to have a place in every collection. The
form of the flowers is curious, the usually conspicuous parts being the dorsal sepal, erect and highly colored, two spreading petals and a slipper-formed pouch
or lip, on account of which the genus is called "Lady's
or Venus' s Slipper."' There are now a large number
of hybrid Cj^pripediums which are very fine and distinct, and many of them are certainly an improvement

The Dendrobes are a very exten-

sive as well as a magnificent genus of Orchids, mostly

consisting of plants with tall jointed terete stems or


bulbs, bearing lateral or pseudo-terminal racemes of
handsome flowers, especially fine for cutting. Some
of the varieties produce very large and showy flowers,
which are delicate in color and delightfully fragrant;
many of them blossom very freely, and are highly effective.
Quite a few are evergreen, retaining their
foliage all the year round, while others are deciduous,
producing their flowers on the ripened leafless stems.
So extensive is this genus, and so different their habits
that it requires a variety of treatment hence, the deciduous varieties must be kept in a cool atmosphere
during winter, while during summer sufticient heat is
easily procured for their growth. They grow best in
baskets, and while growing should never get dry.

HFIDENDRUM.

This, a very extensive genus, convery rare and highly interesting varieties, the choicest of which are here enumerated.
They are of very luxuriant and rapid growth, and
therefore easily cultivated they bear their beautiful
flowers upon their terminal growths, and can either be
grown upon blocks of wood, in pots or baskets, with
fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, in equal parts, for
potting material they delight in plenty of moisture

This is a lovely genus, and one of the most


valuable of epiphytal Orchids, most of the species being vigorous and compact in growth, with evergreen
leaves much like the Cattleyas, to which they are
closely allied many are of equal beauty when in
bloom. Their flowers, which are large and distinct in
color and very handsome, are produced on spikes of
various lengths, from the top of pseudo-bulbs. They
are unsui'passed for cut-flower purposes.
Some of
them may be grown uiion blocks or rafts, though they
will all thrive better in baskets or pots, with a compost
of fibrous peat and good drainage.

with Odontoglossums or Masdevallias, and should be
potted in a mixture of fibrous peat and well decomposed cow manui-e, to which sharp sand should be added and fresh sphagnum moss put on the top of the
pots or pans while growing. This plant requires an
abundance of water and syringing several times a day
thei'efore the drainage should be perfect and ample.
After the flowering season, which is during June and
July, the plants need rest, and should be kept in a cool

much to the brilliancy of the display of our Orchid

ODONTOGLOSSUM.

To this comprehensive genus of


Oi'chids so many magnificent additions have been made
during the last few years, that it now contains some of
the choicest and most useful Orchids in cultivation.
The demand for these plants is becoming very great,
and this is not to be wondered at, for they are a lovely
and most satisfactory class of plants. They can be
grown in a cool house at less expense than the more
stately Bx-azilian and East Indian Orchids. In the form
of cut

blooms and otherwise, they yield very much en-

and peat or leaf mould will be the best for their successful cultivation. The bed should be in a half
shady locality. Many of the hardy Orchids are as showy as the tropical and epiphytal species. In small
gardens, and where no hothouse is at disposal, the hardy Orchids will enable the plant-lover to admire the beauty

of plants especially noted for their majestic and very imposing character, and rightly called the mon
archs of the vegetable kingdom. They are of great decorative value their grand appearance, their magniticeut foliage, and their universally graceful and imposing habit distinguish them from all other plants.
Xo collection is complete without Palms they are unrivaled for the decoration of greenhouses and conservatories,
and many establishments have stately structures used especially as Palm houses. Twenty years ago but few varieties
of Palms were to be found in collections, as gardeners then generally supposed them difficult to cultivate, but now
we find large numbers of species and varieties of Palms. Cycads. Zamias, etc., in nearly all the prominent gardens.
They can be justly recommended for their great usefulness, beauty and easy cultivation in all modern decorations of churches, public and private festive halls, as well as for floral exhibitions, handsome specimens of Palms
are the main factors, and indispensable.
Having had firm belief in the steadily increasing taste and demand for these noble plants, we have prepai'ed ourselves, and at great expense continued in cultivating and increasing our now unlimited supply.
We have added a
number of new, handsome and distinct species and varieties, and our stock is now of such magnitude that it must
be seen in order to foi-m the least idea of it. As most of our stock is raised in our own plantations and tropical
nurseries in Trinidad, West Indies, and cultivated and perfected in our extensive Palm houses at Rose Hill Nurseries, New Rochelle, N. Y., we are enabled to amply supply the trade of the country at most reasonable and popular

prices.

of the Palms and Cycads. A vast variety there is, too, among them, from the delicate, transparent emerald

This
important genus of ornamental foliage plants is widely
distributed over the tropics. They are plants of great
and varied beauty of foliage, and are easily grovim and
cared for. As decorative plants they are unexcelled,
their elegant habit of growth, attractive variation of
color, and strong resisting powers against exposure,
placing them in the front rank. Unlike many other
plants of similar habit, they are distinct and decorative even when very young. We grow enormous quantities annually, enjoying especial advantages in obtaining propagating material from our own tropical nur(

series in Trinidad.

are useful in many situations, both in-doors and in the garden or on the lawn. Thejare especially available for rockeries, and lend themselves to out-door bedding in sunny places in a most distinct and effective way. Nearly all of the Agaves and many of the Aloes, and others of robust habit, make
handsome ornamental plants on lawns, or for decorating entrances, balconies, etc., aifording a most admirable contrast to the tropical foliage plants, while the extreme beauty and I'egularity of "carpet " or "ribbon beds wrought
out with Echeverias as the principal factor is well known. Many of the Cactuses and Mesembryanthemums are
noted for their brilliant and beautiful flowers, of gi'eat range of color and form, and often x'ichly fragrant; w^hile the
strange and wonderful shapes and habits of the Euphorbias, Stapelias and Crassulas win for them much favor.
This class of plants is rapidly returning to public favor, and has the great merit of requiring a minimum of cars
and attention from the planter. AVe have, in addition to those here catalogued, many rare and curious specimens,
which will be described and priced on application.

SELECT COLLECTION OF C/1CTU5E5.


This generic term applies to many separate genera of succulent plants, including Cereus, Echinocactus, Echinocereus, Epiphyllum, Mammillaria. Opuntia, Phyllocactus, Pilocereus, Rhipsalis, etc. No description can do adequate justice to the wonderful forms and variations embraced within this class. Some of the genera are diminutive,
with a silky sheen: others tower to a majestic height. Some are soft to the touch, as if wrapped in down, while
others are beset with formidable spines. Beautiful flowers crown many species variegated spines are the charm
of some: delicate mathematical regularity- distinguishes them, and yet in some cases the widest divergence of form.
They are a natural order of surprises, and the true nature-lover cannot but be attracted and charmed the more as
he comes into knowledge of Cacti. One feature they have in common they require but little care and attention to
succeed, and a collection of them is satisfactory while easy to care for. We have all the best sorts, and can supply
specimens or whole collections to advantage.
In the culture of the plants it must be noted that the soil should be quite sandy, and that the drainage must be
perfect. Water need be supplied but sparingly: most ot the |)hnit^ ar.^ alile to endure its absence for weeks at a

(if we can call them a class) are none other than selected varieties of such
budded upon the common European wild rose, and are trained and cultivated for trees or
standards and while we are decidedly opposed to all low or dwarf budded roses, yet we advocate and recommend
these beautiful rose-trees for sevei'al well-grounded r-easons. They are handsome and majestic in appearance, either
in a rose garden in the border, or even in some parts of the lawn. We have actually seen such Rose trees with a
clear stem three and a-half feet high and a crown four to five feet in diameter, in perfect shape, and with over fifAnother x*eason why we recommend
teen hundred flowers and buds at one time a rose garden upon a single tree
them is that they do not crowd or shade any other plants growing near by or underneath them, and every wild
growth or shoot which makes its appearance is easier detected than if on a low budded rose. In Europe no garden
is complete without Standard or Tree Roses, but in this country they are rare, and though years ago they wei-e introduced here, through lack of knowledge of their proper treatment and careful handling, few of our florists or
gardeners have succeeded in bringing them to perfection. A score of excuses are urged as reasons why Standard
or Tree Roses cannot be grown in this country successfully yet there are a few places where they are cultivated to
perfection, and by intelligently following our directions anyone can have success with them.

and the Noisettes (Rosa moscliata hyhrida) include many superb flowers, and the constant efforts of hybridizers and growers of late years have given us a race of really everblooming roses which seem to combine every
merit of color, form and fragrance. They are not hardy, but can easily be wintered over with protection and even
if frozen to the ground, will often spring up and grow freely when the genial breath of the south wind reaches them.

importance of this department is obvious. No pleasure grounds or rural homes, however modest, are considered complete without ornamental trees or plants of a hardy and permanent character.

Fruits from the ti'opics are very interesting, and often most novel and delicious in taste. Those here named
may be gi'0"\vn and made to bear in the greenhouse, or in some of our southern states and parts of California in fact,
in any locality where the winter temperature does not fall below 4.5 degrees. They should all have good culture in
rich soil, and during their growing season be supplied with plenty of moisture after their growth is made, less
moisture will cause them to ripen their wood, and often to bloom and set fmit.
Those having private conservatories will find in this list an endless source of pleasure and enjoyment if the

The proper article


our fibrous peat, which is
really the fine A\ire-like roots of hard-wooded vegetation, combined with a proportion of decomposed leaves
and roots. The fibrous part is separated from the finer
decomposed material by drying and shaking the large
clumps or cakes as received, and is really the very best
thing in which to gi'ow orchids, affording proper suppoi't and perfect drainage.
In practice, it is used with
about one-fourth dry sphagnum moss, chopped up with
it and thoroughly mixed.
The finer portion of the
peat, as shaken out. is a very good material, when
mixed with good loam, in which to grow palms, ferns
and all stove plants. Our fibrous peat for orchid culture we claim is of superior quality nowhere else have
we found peat to equal it. It is of lasting quality, and
does not rot or decay quickly, as is genei-ally the case
with peat which is taken from wet. marshy placesour
peat is taken from upland beds, and therefore will last
three times as long, and will not sour. Anyone familiar with the appearance of the healthy stock throughout all the oi'chid houses at Rose Hill, well knows that
the quality of peat and the best quality of live sphagnum moss contribute considei-able to the general good
