 " Southern Floriculture ” will teach you how to grow these flowers. 
 
 We have found a great need for this work, and take pleasure in offering it 
 to our friends and patrons. It is respectfully dedicated to the flower-loving 
 ladies of the South. It is devoted to the culture and propagation ot all of 
 the most popular flowering and ornamental plants of the present day, with 
 hints on their origin and introduction. It treats on all the diseases, with 
 remedy, the different classes of plants are subject to, and gives varieties 
 best adapted to the climate and soil of the South. It exposes the humbugs 
 of Horticulture, and is truly a Southern book that every flower-loving lady 
 in the South should read. The chapter on the propagation of the Rose is 
 alone worth the price of the book It is written in a pleasing style, and 
 will not only prove instructive, but interesting, to all parties interested in 
 Floriculture. 
 
 Owing to a rush in the publishing house, the book will not be complete 
 before the first week of March, at which time it will be sent to all who wish 
 it We also take this opportunity to thank the numerous, friends who have 
 already sent their names for a copy, and ask their kind indulgence until the 
 time before mentioned. 
 
 We want a reliable lady agent in every city in the South to act as agent 
 for this hook. Good commission. Address,.]. Morton, Clarksville, Tenn. 
 
 So great was the success of our Fall display of Chrysanthemums that at 
 the request of a number of our friends and patrons we have determined to 
 give a Spring Flower Show, the particulars of which we regret we cannot 
 give now, as our arrangements for this display are at present incomplete. 
 All friends interested will, however, be supplied later with full information 
 upon enquiry. About the first week of February, and lasting foi a period 
 of three or four weeks, we will have in full bloom in our greenhouses several 
 thousand Hyacinths, together with hundreds of Azalias, Primroses, Freezias, 
 Fuchsias, Lilies, Bouvardias, Roses, Astibile, Camellias, O chids and an 
 innumerable lot of beautiful flowers that come invariably at that season ; 
 they will all be arranged in our larger exhibition greenhouse, interspersed 
 with fine Palms, Ferns and richly-colored foliage plants, and we contemplate 
 a display of unsurpassing beauty, and herewith cordially extend an invita- 
 tion to all our friends to come and see 11s at about that time. Parties in- 
 tending to come from a distance had better write in advance, so we can 
 more accurately name the time when the flowers will be at their prettiest and 
 can be seen to the best advantage.

INTRODUCTORY 
 
 S the season for 
 gardening opera- 
 tions is again at 
 hand, and tho 
 busy housewife 
 will soon have to 
 determine what 
 is best to plant 
 in the domestic 
 flower plot to give beauty to the 
 family abode, fragrance to the sur- 
 roundings, and a high standard of 
 refinement to the entire home cir- 
 cle. To assist in the deliberations 
 of many thousands of fair florist 
 now planning for their Spring task 
 in Floriculture, we take much pleas- 
 ure in presenting our Catalogue for 
 the Spring of 1890, and trust it may 
 prove of some interest to you. The 
 ever increasing demand for the un- 
 excelled collection of plants we offer 
 in it, is the best criterion that our patrons appre- 
 ciate our efforts to do a square, honest business. 
 We enumerate nothing but what is good, and quote 
 them at prices so reasonable that all may buy. We 
 have endeavored to offer only the very best in the 
 different classes of plants, so that our customers 
 will not be confused in looking over long lists of 
 varieties that differ little except in name. Our 
 Hoses and Chrysanthemums cannot be excelled. 
 We find a wonderful increase in the demand for 
 large It >ses, and to meet this growing demand we 
 have a large assortment of all the most popular 
 varieties of large size. Our collection of Chrysan- 
 themums is unquestionably the finest on this con- 
 tinent. All the newest and oldest of great merit 
 are to be found in our collection, gathered from 
 innumerable sources to make one grand collection 
 unrivalled in America or elsewhere. During our 
 show last November, hundreds of people visited 
 our display daily for a period of about three weeks, 
 and so loud was the praise and excitement so great, 
 that special trains were ran to Clarksville from 
 several points with excursion parties to see them, 
 and the L. <fc N. Railroad kindly gave a reduced 
 rate to our place on all their regular trains in order

 EVERGREEN LODGE, 
 
 "Alnt They Pretty.” 
 
 that every flower loving friend from far and near might 
 have an opportunity to behold the great beauty of the 
 “Queen of Autumn.” We touch “Novelties” but slightly, 
 as there is more opportunity to be humbugged by investing 
 in them than anything we know of. The many novelties 
 offered are in some cases a lot of old renamed, discarded 
 stuff, given some high sounding name and scattered broad- 
 cast over the land, only to hear each purchaser say after a 
 year’s cultivation of it, “sold again.” There is enough of 
 good well known varieties in every class of plants beautiful 
 enough to give all the enjoyment to be found in their par- 
 ticular class, to a majority of plant buyers. We guarantee 
 satisfaction in every case, and if we have a dissatisfied customer, it is because 
 we do not know it. Our business last season increased fifty per cent, over the 
 previous year, and the outlook for this season is now encouraging. We have 
 the finest stock of plants to select from that it is possible to accumulate. We 
 would bo pleased where convenieut if our customers could pay us a visit and 
 see our greenhouses and flowers. We have, owing to our large shipments over 
 the lines of the Southern Express Company, secured a special rate of 25 per 
 cent, less than their regular charges. The many flattering letters received by 
 us would fill a book as large as this Catalogue, all of which we are most grateful 
 for, and considered by us a high compliment to our business methods, and we 
 here wish to return to all our heartfelt thanks for the words of encouragement 
 as well as for the liberal patronage given us, and it is almost needless to add 
 that it shall be our aim in the future as well as in the past to endeavor to please 
 each one of our customers. The Southern people can never have a large and 
 enterprising floral establishment if by their joint co-operation they do not help 
 to make it so. It is needless to send to Northern florists for what you can secure 
 nearer home. Apart from this, however, we would be slow to solicit a single 
 order from any individual whatever upon the grounds that it is our good for- 
 tune to live in the Sunny South. It is only because we can do as well for you 
 and in most cases better, that we ask for a share of your patronage. With kind 
 wishes for a happy New Year to all our customers and friends, 
 
 We remain, most truly, James Mohton, Manager.

 A Few Points— Read Before Ordering. 
 
 OUR TERMS. 
 
 Our terms are invariably Cash with the order. 
 
 ORDERS. 
 
 Remember all orders, large or small, are shipped in the order they are re- 
 ceived. 
 
 VISITORS WELCOME. 
 
 Visitors are always welcome, as we have something of interest for them to 
 see at all seasons of the year. 
 
 EXPRESS. 
 
 All orders for goods not stating the mode of transportation will be sent by 
 express at the purchaser’s expense. 
 
 SEEDS. 
 
 We have gone entirely out of the Seed business, and will in future devote our 
 attention to the growth’ of plants exclusively. 
 
CLARKSVILLE, TENN..

 IN REMITTING, 
 
 send Money Order or Draft : if in currency, invariably register the letter, as we 
 will not be responsible for remittances otherwise made. 
 
 PLEASE USE THE ENCLOSED ORDER SHEET. 
 
 If you have other matter to write, use separate paper or the opposite side ot 
 the sheet, but do not mix the order up with other matter. 
 
 PACKING BY MAIL. 
 
 We use a strong wooden box to pack in. Plants are all laid one way and 
 securely fastened, thereby avoiding any crushing or mangling of leaves. 
 
 POSTAGE STAMPS. 
 
 When you cannot procure a Money Order and cannot make change otherwise 
 we will accept Postage Stamps. We would prefer 2, 5 and 10-eent stamps. 
 
 OOR AIM. 
 
 Our desire is to deal with our customers, that they may continue to favor us 
 with their orders in the future, and they may rely on our endeavors to give sat- 
 isfaction in every instance. 
 
 POSTAL NOTES 
 
 are very convenient for small amounts, but are no more safe than money sent 
 in an ordinary letter, as they cannot be duplicated if lost, and anybody that 
 gets them can collect them. 
 
 HYACINTHS, T0LIPS AND PALL BULBS. 
 
 We will issue about September 1st, a Catalogue of Bulbs and Winter flower- 
 ing plants, which will be mailed to all of our customers who have ordered of us 
 during the last year. Others who wish it are requested to write for it. 
 
 OUR SHIPPING FACILITIES. 
 
 Our shipping facilities are first-class, and the rates by express or freight from 
 this point are much less to all the States South of us than they are from any of 
 the Eastern floral establishments ; the time occupied in transit is also much less. 
 
 HAVE YOUR GOODS SENT BY EXPRESS, 
 
 if possible, is always our advice, as you invariably get yoqr plants in better con- 
 dition ; and, as an inducement, we send a lot of plants extra to help pay express 
 charges, and we feel ourselves repaid by the better satisfaction our sphipments 
 will give you. 
 
 ORDERS FOR LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR 
 
 will not be filled unless fifteen cents additional to the price of the plants to be 
 sent to pay postage. It is quite as much trouble to handle, and requires nearly 
 as much postage to mail, a fifty cent order as it does one for two or three dollars’ 
 worth of plants. 
 
 COLLECTIONS. 
 
 Parties having no knowledge of the different habits and adaptability of plants 
 will do well to write and give us the particulars of the kind of beds they wish 
 them for, or if for window culture, we can select them in most all cases to give 
 the best satisfaction desired. 
 
 WHEN OUR LIABILITY FOR L0S3 CEASES, 
 
 We take a receipt for all plants delivered in good order to carrying company, 
 when our liability ceases, and the plants are at the risk of parties ordering. 
 We make no charge for drayage or packing. If mistakes occur, notify us at 
 once ; otherwise, we are not responsible. 
 
 LETTERS AND PACKAGES. 
 
 Letters travel somewhat faster in mails than packages, so, if we write you a 
 letter, and it reaches you before the plants, wait a day or two before writing, 
 and give them the necessary time, and in ninety-nine cases in every hundred 
 all will came out right, saving both of us the trouble of writing. 
 
 BE PATIENT. 
 
 Tn our busy season the office work is so pressing that packages of plants fre- 
 quently leave the greenhouse before we get an opportunity to write, and as this 
 is unavoidable, we beg our customers, if any plants are missing, to kindly wait 
 two or three days for a letter of explanation before informing us of the shortage. 
 
 OUR LOW PRICES. 
 
 A careful comparison of our prices with those of other growers will show that 
 we offer plants much cheaper than the same grade of stock can be purchased 
 for at any other establishment in the country. In proof of this we are willing 
 to duplicate the prices of any first-class and reliable house in the United States 
 on plants, in this Catalogue.

 EVERGREEN LODGE, 
 
 0. O. D. ORDERS. 
 
 G. O. D. orders must be accompanied by at least one-fourth of the amount in 
 cash, and the parties ordering are to pay the express charges for collecting. 
 Large orders of shrubbery, trees, etc., can go by ordinary freight, by consigning 
 to our own order and sending bill of lading by express, G. O. D., endowed to 
 parties ordering. Heavy express charges are thus avoided and collections 
 facilitated. 
 
 oua plants. 
 
 Plants offered in this Catalogue are none of your puny, weak little things 
 that take till Fall to see what you get ; but are grown in pots ranging ui size 
 from 21 to 4 inches, according to varieties of plants. We need not mention this 
 to old customers who know what kind of plants we send out, but this Catalogue 
 will be received by many peoPle who never saw our plants or received our 
 Catalogue before. Patrons can always depend on getting their money s worth, 
 and more, too, as we are very liberal with our extras. 
 
 MISTAKES. 
 
 If anything is wrong with your order, do not think we intended it, for we 
 have no interest in so doing; out interest is to give satisfaction, and that we 
 are determined to do ; so should an error occur, kiudly put it down as ii mis- 
 take, notify us, and we will put it right. We wish our customers would, in 
 every ease, keep a copy of their order, and verify it on arrival of plants , this 
 willprevent mistakes as to what they “thought” they ordered, but which was 
 never written upon their order sheet ; and if not too much trouble, please drop 
 us a oard on the arrival of the goods. We are glad to know when you are 
 pleased, and we wish to know of any dissatisfaction, that we may make it right. 
 
 PLEASE BB OAREPUL 
 
 and write your Name and Address plainly. We can readily make out what is 
 wanted in an order, as we are acquainted with the names of all our plants, but 
 we have no means of knowing what your uame is or liovy it should be spelled 
 unless you write it plainly. We receive many orders that are well written 
 throughout, but when we look to see who sends them, the name is so carelessly 
 written that we are obliged to guess at it. Indeed, some forget entirely to sign 
 their name. Again we would say, Please Sign your Name Carefully, as it will 
 save us much annoyance, and possibly, prevent errors. 
 
 BULBS GIVEN AWAY! 
 
 Ten Handsome Presents to be Distributed 
 in September. 
 
 S an inducement to ladies to get up clubs, we have decided 
 to offer as premiums a choice assortment of Spring and 
 Winter flowering bulbs in ten separate collections, to be 
 selected from our Fall Catalogue as soon as it is issued in 
 ' V a September. The bulbs will all be of the finest quality, and 
 
 will consist chiefly of Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocus, Narcissus, Lilies, Iris, Crown 
 Imperials, and other popular flowering bulbs to the amount of 
 
 FIFTY DOLLARS. 
 
 These presents are altogether an outside matter, and will have nothing to do 
 with the other inducements ofl'ered elsewhere to originators of clubs. The par- 
 ties that will secure the above piesents will benotifled by letter from us in May, 
 when our shipping season closes, and their name published in our Fall Catalogue 
 
 and their presents sent prepaid to them iu September. 
 
 We offered this inducement for the first time last Spring with good results. 
 The names of the successful parties was published in our Fall Catalogue, and 
 the bulbs sent to them as wo promised. We will mail a Fall Catalogue to any 
 one who may desire it. 
 
CLARKSVILLE, TENN. 
 
 5 
 
 The bulbs will be distributed to the successful ladies or others as follows : 
 
 For the originator of the largest club, $20.00 in bulbs. 
 
 For the originator of the 2d largest club, $12.00 in bulbs. 
 
 For the originator of the 3d largest club, $5.00 in bulbs.

 For the originator of the 9th largest club, $1.00 in bulbs. 
 For the originator of the 10th largest club, $1.00 in bulbs. 
 
 Inducements to Clubs. 
 
 Although prices are low in this Catalogue for all classes of plants, most liberal 
 terms are ottered to friends who are inclined to obtain orders from others, and 
 to secure thereby some tine specimens free of cost for themselves. In making 
 up a club order it is important to state the sum sent by each member and the 
 plants wanted, that they may be separately packed and confusion avoided 
 when the plants are distributed. The full address of each is required. The 
 following are tho rates from $3.00 to $510.00 (larger sums in proportion): 
 
 For a $3.00 club order the originator may select in plants 50 cents. 
 
 For a $4.00 club order the originator may select in plants 75 cents. 
 
 For a $5.00 club order the originator may select in plants $1.00. 
 
 For a $6.00 club order the originator may select in plants $1.10. 
 
 For a $7.00 club order the originator may select in plants $1.25. 
 
 For a $8.00 club order the originator may select in plants $1.50. 
 
 For a $9.00 club order the originator may select in plants $1.75. 
 
 For a $10.00 club order the originator may select in plants $2.00. 
 
 For a $15.00 club order the originator may select in plants $3.00. 
 
 For a $20.00 club order the originator may select in plants $4.00. 
 
 For a $25.00 club order the originator may select in plants $5.00 
 
 CHEIAF 
 
 HE following collections, to be sent by express only, are very 
 desirable to those who want a nice flower bed and care 
 nothing about having the names put on the each plant, the 
 doing of which during the busy season consumes valuable 
 time. We desire it distinctly understood that the plants in 
 these collections are just as good and desirable in every way, 
 and probably would be better than the individually selected 
 plants at more than double the price.

 Owing to a large increase in our facilities for raising plants this last Summer, 
 we are able to offer plants in the following collections at the exceedingly low

 tions. If wanted by mail, add 15 cents extra :

 must be left with us. We cannot hunt up named varieties at this price. lhey 
 will all be packed carefully in a light box or basket, and sent anywhere by ex-

 LIEAPNESSand merit being considered, it will he seen 
 that where persons are not well acquainted witli different 
 varieties, so as to enable them to make judicious selec- 
 tions, these sets offer great advantages, and parties will 
 usually get as good selections as they could make them- 
 selves, our aim being as far as possible to satisfy every 
 customer that favors us with an order. The choice of 
 varieties in these sets must he left entirely to us, as we 
 positively cannot afford, at the collection prices, to per- 
 mit customers to name the plants. These collections are 
 subject to the following conditions : That persons order- 
 ing are only to name the letter or numbers, designating 
 the collection or collections wanted, as it takes too much 
 valuable time to read long letters, giving detailed lists of 
 plants in each collection desired. Simply the letter of 
 the collection is all sufficient. Entirely our selection of 
 varieties. All labeled. These collections are not entitled

 There is not a home in the South or a person that receives this Catalogue but 
 what can use at least one of these collections to advantage. If you are board

 for a friend not so situated, and will afford pleasure and remembrance all the 
 Summer long. We ask therefore as an acknowledgement that this Catalogue 
 is appreciated, an order for at least one dollar’s worth of flowers, so that vour 
 name may go permanently on our books as customers, and continue to receive

 EVERGREEN LODGE, 
 
 QttEED OB EliOfflEI^r 
 
 ROSE is the “Queen of Flowers.” No garden, however 
 small, is complete without Roses. There are no Mowers 
 frown that arc more universally admired than the Rose, 
 and their cultivation is yearly extending, as it becomes 
 more generally known that they are so easily grown, and 
 that they can'be procured at so trifling an expense. All 
 that is necessary is to plant them in a bed of deep, fresh, 
 loamy soil, well enriched with thoroughly rotted manure, 
 and they are as certain to do well as a bed of Geraniums. 
 
 Preparation of the Ground.— Roses will grow in any 
 fertile ground, but are much improved in bloom, fragrance 
 and beauty by rich soil, liberal ma- 
 nuring, and good cultivation. Mho 
 ground should be subsoiled and well 
 spaded to the depth of a foot or more, 
 and enriched by digging in a good 
 coat of cow manure or any fertilizing 
 material that may be convenient. 
 
 Renew old beds by decayed sods taken 
 from old pasture land. 
 
 Planting.— When the ground is 
 thoroughly prepared, fine and in nice 
 condition, put in the plant slightly 
 deeper than it was before, spread the 
 roots out evenly in their natural posi- 
 tion, and cover them with fine earth, 
 taking care to draw it closely around 
 the stem, and pack firmly down with 
 the hand. It is very important that 
 the earth be tightly firmed down on 
 the roots. Budded Roses should be 
 planted three inches below the bud. 
 
 Always choose the most favorable 
 time for planting in your own local- 
 ity. Roses can be planted as soon as 
 convenient after the frost is over. 
 
 Always select an open, suuny place, 
 exposed to full light and air. Roses 
 appear to the best advantage when 
 planted in beds or masses. 
 
 Watering.— I f the ground is dry 
 when planted, water thoroughly after planting so as to soak the earth dov\ n 
 below the roots, and, if hot or windy, it may be well to shade for a few days.

 After this not much water is required unless the weather is unusually dry. 
 Plants will not thrive if kept too wet and without drainage. 
 
 Pkuning. — In most seasons it is best to prune established plants of hardy 
 kinds in February. Tender varieties, such as the Tea Roses and newly planted 
 Roses, may be left tiil a month later. As a general rule close pruning produces 
 quality, and long pruning quantity of bloom. Climbing, Weeping and Pillar 
 Roses should not be cut back ; but the tips of the shoots only should be taken 
 off, and any weak or unripe shoots cut out altogether.

 SIX SUPERB ROSES . 
 
 The following six Roses are unexcelled in the hardy Rcmontan class ; each 
 one is a beauty. They are not new, but we have yet to find their equal, not to 
 say superior, among all the Roses of recent introduction. They are large, strong 
 plants, that will flower beautifully this Summer. This vset gives all the range 
 of color to be found in this class of Roses, from the purest white through all th 
 shades of pink to the richest velvety crimson. 
 
 Price 50 Cents Each, the Set of Six for $2.50. 
 
 Captain Christy. Flowers perfectly formed, of 
 large size, and very double; of a delicate 
 flesh color, slightly shaded salmon; constant 
 bloomer ; a gem. 
 
 La France. Peach shaded rose, that blooms 
 through the whole season; doable and fra- 
 grant. We consider this the finest rose 
 grown. 
 
 Paul Neyron. Deep rose, very large and full, 
 fragrant and free blooming The largest 
 variety known, and most desirable. 
 
 General Jacqueminot. This is the best known 
 and most popular rose grown. Jt is per- 
 fectly hardy, free flowering, and very fra- 
 grant; color, dark brilliant crimson. This 
 rose should be largely planted. 
 
 Baroness Rothschild. This might well be term- 
 ed the “Queen of roses,” as nothing can 
 compare with the massive beauty ot its 
 flowers, which are five inches in diameter 
 and an exbuisite shade of satiny pink in 
 color. The heavy foliage comes close up to 
 the flowers, making a most effective back- 
 ground of green, thus giving the effect of a 
 lovely. bouqet rather than a single flower. 
 It is perfectly hardy. 
 
 Mabel Morrison. A sport from Baroness Roths- 
 child. (Flesh, changing to pure white; in 
 the autumn tinged with rose; double, cup 
 shaped flowers freely produced. It is the 
 most beautiful white hybrid perpetual

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
 
 There isrro more 
 popular flower at 
 the present day 
 than theChrysan- a 
 themum. There 
 is more interest %. 
 manifested in its cirl- 
 ture than any other 
 flower we cultivate ; 
 even the Rose, the- all acknowl- 
 edged “Queen of Flowers," has 
 to take a second place during the season 
 the Chrysanthemums are in bloom. 
 
 Through the month of November, go- 
 where you will, you will find in almost 
 any city or town that has any pre- 
 tentions to culture and refinement, a 
 Chrysanthemum show, it is not more 
 than eight years ago since the first dis- 
 play of this kind was held in New Lilian b. Bird. 
 
 York, and now they are widespread over the land. These shows do much to> 
 advance the interest in this class of plants, and if the interest continues to* 
 increase wit hin the next few years as it has done for some years past, it is diffi- 
 cult to say what may he obtained, as each season- sees some improvement over 
 the past in some of the new varieties that are- continually coming forth, and 
 the old ones known to our grandmothers have well nigh vanished from the 
 scene. 
 
 OUR CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. 
 
 -V number of ladies of this city have formed themselves into an organization- 
 known as “The Ladies' Confederate Monumental Association,” their worthy 
 object being to raise sufficient funds to erect a monument in our city in memory 
 of the Confederate soldiers killed in the late war, many of whom lie buried in 
 this vicinity. To assist in this laudable work, as soon as our Chrysanthemums 
 were in hloom we turned our entire place over to the ladies interested for » 
 period of two weeks. They had full charge of the entire place, and charged an

 admission fee for enter- 
 ing the large conserva- 
 tory where the display 
 ■of Chrysanthemums was 
 held, ami were allowed 
 also a commission on all 
 the sales of plants, bulbs 
 .and flowers they were in- 
 .-strumental in making. 
 
 The result was that for 
 two weeks our gardens 
 were in gala attire, and 
 visited daily by hundreds 
 •of people, many of whom 
 ■came long distances to 
 .•see them, and all went 
 away surprised and de- 
 lighted at (he beauty of 
 the display, having little 
 idea before coming that 
 theChrysanthemum con- 
 tained such a vast array 
 •of color and wonderful 
 diversity of formation. 
 
 The entire vocabulary of 
 adjectives would be ex- 
 hausted before they got 
 ■one-fourth the way through the house. We are confident no exhibition of this 
 kind in the country attracted such widespread interest as ours, and nowhere 
 could a liner assortment be found. We only wished that all our customers had 
 an opportunity to see them, as a scene of this kind cannot he properly des- 
 cribed, but must be seen to be believed. The press of the country around us 
 was full of it, and we append but a few of the notices: 
 
 Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky. 
 
 A chrysanthemum show is being held in 
 Clarksville under the auspices of the Ladies 
 Confederate Monumental Association. The 
 display of flowers is the finest in the country, 
 and is visited by hundreds daily. 
 
 Palmers Home Journal, Louisville, Ky. 
 
 Judging from the fact that excursion trains 
 are being run to Clarksville to convey large 
 crowds to the chrysanthemum show, now be- 
 ing held there, and such a great amount of 
 Interest manifested in the cultureof this par- 
 ticular plant that we think it ought to lie 
 adopted as our national flower. 
 
 Bowling Green, Ky. Democrat. 
 
 M r. W. C. Alexander visited the chrysanthe- 
 mum show at Clarksville yesterday, and was 
 charmed with the endless variety and ex- 
 quisite beouty of the display. He advises all 
 his friends to go and see, they will never re- 
 gret It. 
 
 A young lady writing to the Princeton, Ky. 
 Banner, sayst “I have never seen any chrys- 
 anthemums except the common ones that 
 every one liaa, so I could hardly believe my 
 eyes when I entered the room devoted to 
 them and saw the superb mass of colors. Mr. 
 Morton, the head gardener, told me they have 
 three hundred varieties. They are of every 
 color, sizeand shape, and I wish I could give 
 you even a faint idea of their beauty. There 
 are pure white and deep cream, pale lemon 
 and deep yellow, pink, magenta, garnet and 
 purple. There were some so curley that they 
 looked like they were made of crimpled paper 
 and others with sharp pointed petals like 
 porcupine quills. Some I noticed bad long 
 outside leaves and the centers were filled with 
 
 what looked like hundreds of the tiniest 
 blossoms, each one perfect in itself. The most 
 beautiful ones of all were a white one with 
 leaves at least three inches long, having 
 irregular stripes of lavender, and another 
 equally as large, having the upper sides of Its 
 leaves bright yellow and the under sides dark- 
 red.” 
 
 “1 heard a gentleman say yesterday : ‘Oh, 
 chrysanthemums don’t amount to anything ; 
 my mother has a dozen varieties in her yard.' 
 If lie could once see these he would change 
 his mind.” 
 
 Dally Tribune, Rome, Ga. 
 
 Yesterday afternoon Mr. o. H. McWilliams 
 brought to The Tribune office a large basket 
 containing 28 chrysanthemum blossoms, dis- 
 played a glorious perfection. They were 
 especially noted for their size, as they were 
 the largest ever seen in Rome. Among them 
 were rich cream, velvet red, golden brown, 
 white lilacs, and other brilliant blossoms 
 making a delicious harmony in color. This' 
 elegant collection was sent to Mr. McWil- 
 liams by J, J. crusman, of Clarksville, Tenn. 
 The basket of blossoms will be on exhibition 
 at Rra/.er A Tanner’s book store to-day until 
 noon. They are well worth a visit to see. 
 
 Owensboro, Ky. Messenger. 
 
 Last summer some of the ladies of Clarks- 
 ville, Tenn.. with Mrs. Clark at their head, 
 organized Sn association for the purpose of 
 making money to erect a monument in hon- 
 or of the Confederate soldiers who are buried 
 there. Capt. J. J. Crusman, owner of ever- 
 green Lodge, a greenhouse, offered the ladies 
 the use of Ills greenhouse for a chrysanthe- 
 mum fair, as during November his chrysan- 
 themums are at their best. During the past 
 week different railroads gave reduced rates.

 EVERGREEN LOI)GE T 
 
 Tuesday there was ail excursion from Nash- 
 ville, Wednesday there were parties from 
 Elkton, Bowling Green and Russellville, and 
 Thursday from Princeton and Hopkinsville, 
 li-ach day the ladies of the association met the 
 guests with carriages and took them to the 
 greenhouse. 
 
 Clarksville Daily Progress. 
 
 Yesterday the great chrysanthemum show, 
 of which so much has been said and written 
 in the last month, was opened with all the 
 eclat that so important an occasion demand- 
 ed- J he weather was perfect, as if nature it- 
 self smiled on the noble object of the Ladies’ 
 Monumental Association, and lavished on 
 their fete all l er riches of blue and gold au- 
 tumnal days. 
 
 Up at Evergreen Lodge, where the flower 
 show is to be held, everything was in gala 
 attire. The air was heavy with the spicy 
 sweetness of chrysanthemums, with here and 
 there a breath of belated roses, the crisp wind 
 flaunted the stars and stripes in the breeze 
 from a dozen flagstaff's, a pretty little plat- 
 form for the orator had been erected fronting 
 a gentle declivity and tastefully decorated 
 with masses of potted plants, there were ani- 
 mated groups of pretty women strolling 
 about the lovely grounds, and altogether it 
 looked more like a biggarden party than any- 
 thing else. 
 
 Rut the chrysanthemums themselves were 
 naturally the first object of interest, for it is 
 a well-known fact that Capt. Crusman’s col- 
 lection is the finest in the South, if not in- 
 deed this side of New York. One whole green- 
 house has been set apart and no money or 
 pains is spared to get and propagate the finest 
 specimens of this royal flower of Japan. In 
 front of this long conservatory, just by the 
 door through which one catches tantalizing 
 glimpses of billowy masses of bloom, is the 
 headquarters of the Ladies’ Monumental As- 
 sociation, and where they have encamped 
 under a banner bearing thesignlflcent legend: 
 
 L here are no tears more holy than those 
 shed by weeping beauty at the grave of van- 
 quished valor.” Within among the flowers 
 is a green bank of cacti on which is picked 
 out in purple immortelles the sentence that 
 strikes the key note of all the association has 
 done and hopes to do : “In memory of U. S. A 
 they bravely foughtand bravely fell.” 
 
 It Is like a minor chord, that phrase in all' 
 tins brightness and gladness, for the air is full 
 of gay laughter, there are hundreds of flags 
 above one’s head, the star and crescent of the 
 orient, sacred dragons, and theeensigns of far 
 Japan, and about all the delicious, penetrat- 
 ing odor of the flower whose feast of beauty 
 is being celebrated y 
 
 One who remembers the little bunch of 
 chrysanthemums in some quiet country <rar- 
 deu ks a little bewildered by all this prodi- 
 gality of bloom and beauty. There they are 
 in rank and file of loveliness, white, red, yel- 
 iow, pink, mauve, they run the whole gamut 
 or color. Here is one like a snow-drift out of 
 
 as master of ceremonies, introduced Itev. Dr, 
 A. D. Senrs, the chaplain of Forbes Bivouac, 
 who deli vered a sho rt prayer, 1 » vok lug divine 
 guidance and assistance in the matter about 
 to be inaugurated. At the close of the prayer 
 Capt. ( rusniiln introduced the handsome and 
 eloqueut orator of the day, Hon. Joe Wash- 
 ington, member of congress from this dis- 
 trict, who spoke with a directness and earn- 
 est eloquence that charmed his audience. 
 
 Clarksville Daily Chronicle. 
 
 The opening exercises of the chrysanthe - 
 mum show were highly ini cresting and were 
 largely attended. The crowd was variously 
 estimated at 200 to 500 people. 
 
 The grounds were decorated with rare flow- 
 ers and with United .States flags. A banner 
 at the entrance to the hot-honse containing 
 the chrysanthemums, bears the following in- 
 scription: “There are no tears more holy than 
 those of weeping beauty at the grave of van- 
 quished valor. 
 
 The Hon. Jas. A. McKenzie was asked for a 
 suitable inscription for the banner, and the 
 above beautiful and touching one was sug- 
 gested by him. 
 
 A stage was erected on the lawn in the in- 
 closure and was beautifully trimmed off with 
 flowers and tropical plants. 
 
 Forbes Bivouac formed a line of march at 
 the court-house about 2 o’clock, headed by the 
 C. C. G. drum corps and Hayden’s brass band 
 marched out to the Lodge, where the crowd 
 was addressed by the Hon. Jos. E. Washing- 
 ton. The gentleman spoke briefly but elo- 
 quently. He paid the members of Forbes 
 Bivouac a tribute in his flowery style, and 
 turning to the ladies he poured out a stream 
 of eloquent praise that thrilled every bosom 
 with rapture, and every heart with' patriot- 
 ism. 
 
 After the speaking the crowd was invited 
 to visit the display of beauty characteristic of 
 Evergreen Lodge— the chrysanthemums. Sev- 
 eral hundred people marched up and de- 
 posited their dimes and took a look at the 
 flowers. The general verdict was that it was 
 the finest display ever seen in the South.

 time eight inches it measures across its 
 deep fringed fronds, here is another red as if 
 dipped in blood, here another you could 
 swear is a wild aster from a Northern brook 
 and here is still another that with its deep 
 mysterious blending of a hundred colors 
 looks as some priceless orchid might in its 
 far off tropical home. 
 
 You might spend a day among them, still 
 unssitisfled. until you forget this is not Tokio 
 and the fair maid who is your patient guide 
 not some \ um-Yum standing at home among 
 her own flowers in Japan. 
 
 But already the band was beginning to play 
 on the lawn and coming up in a column that 
 was rather more ragged than it used to be 
 when it. faced the enemy’s smoking batteries 
 was frorbes Bivouac. There was a cheer for 
 the veteraus and then Capt. Crusman, acting 
 
 Clarksville Democrat. 
 
 There is not we presume, in the entirecoun- 
 try, any city that is more interested in chrys- 
 anthemums than Clarksville is to day. 
 Special trains and a large concourse of peo- 
 ple is the order of the day. Soldiers in uni- 
 form, a brass band, drum corns, and about 250 
 of Tennessee and Kentuck’s fairest daughters 
 from the Clarksville Female Academy, help- 
 ed to make things gay out there yesterday. 
 Superintendent Morton says, pretty girls 
 pretty flowers and sweet music, is all on earth 
 that’s worth living for— these blessings he 
 now enjoys to his heart’s content. 
 
 Nashville Daily American. 
 
 A party of ladies and their friends left 
 Nashville yesterday by special train to visit 
 the chrysanthemum exhibition at Clarks- 
 ville. This display is the finest in the coun- 
 try, the entire place being one vast bed of 
 flowers and the largest floral gardens any- 
 where in the South. The ladies were charm- 
 ed with all they saw— of the beauty of the 
 c h ry san t. h em u ms, th ey say t h e h a I f can never 
 be told. Capt. Crusman not only threw his 
 charming residence open to them, hut tore 
 the latch strings completely away. A sumptu- 
 ous dinner was served, and the remainder of 
 the evening was spent strolling through the 
 lawns and green- houses— it was a most en- 
 joyable occasion, that all those who were for- 
 tunate enough to be present will never forget 
 Another excursion is fixed for Friday. '

 OUR LISTiOF VARIETIES. 
 
 Wc pn>. ish this season four separate lists of varieties. The first list contains 
 all the newest and finest to date, selected with the greatest care. There is a 
 couple of dozen other new varieties upon the market this season, which we do 
 not offer, believing they have not been sufficiently tested. The set of six new 
 ones we offer we know to be good, and offer them only on that account. These 
 have been selected when in bloom from among the other new varieties we do 
 not offer. The varieties in the twenty-five cent list needs no commendation 
 from all who saw them in bloom last Fall ; every one is a beauty and cheap at 
 the price named. The ones in the fifteen cent list are as yet all scarce varieties, 
 but every one of them is fine. The general list needs no words of praise to all 
 familiar with good Chrysanthemums.

 larger than any in its class. Color ox-blood 
 red on upper surface ; old gold beneath.

 out shadings. A fine recurved variety of

 ing, afterwards assuming the form of a large 
 pieoiiy; strong, erect, heavy foot stalks; of

 Mrs. W. K. Harris. Deepest rich golden yellow, 
 thoroughly incurved; probably the best 
 yellow Chrysanthemum ever raised ; in the 
 way of Graiidtflorurn, but far larger and 
 better than that variety. It is certainly the 
 finest yellow variety in cultivation for cut 
 flowers or exhibition. 50 cts. 
 
 Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. 1 he most sensational 
 novelty was the beautiful Mrs. Alpheus 
 Hardy. Words are inadequate to convey 
 an idea of its beauty. The flowers are pure 
 white, medium size, incurved Japanese, the 
 centre slightly indented, the disc entirely 
 hidden; on the upper surface of the floret 
 petals is what at first sight appears hoar 
 frost or snow, which gives it a chaste, deli- 
 cate and fluffy appearance. A silver medal 
 was awarded to the introducers of this grand 
 Chrysanthemum at the Philadelphia show 
 in November. There has been more written 
 about, this variety than any yet introduced. 
 25 cts. 
 
 Lilian B. Bird. Came in the same set with 
 Mrs. Hardy. Of the very largest size, with 
 full, high center; petals tubular, and of

 WHEN TO BUY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
 
 We are often asked, “what is the best time to buy Chrysanthemums,” and to 
 all such we say right now is (lie best, as a plant that you can purchase now for 
 ten cents by Fall will be worth fifty cents or more ; also at this season the plants 
 are small, and a dozen can be sent now for less than one plant could be trans- 
 ported in the Fall. As they are vigorous growers they may be set out at once 
 and will grow into large plants before Fall.

 FORTY DOLLARS IN GOLD. 
 
 In order to further induce the higher cultivation of the Chrysanthemum 
 in the South, we take pleasure in offering the above sunt to the parties that 
 raise the largest blooms. Full instructions are given in our article on Chry- 
 santhemum culture of how to grow them. We have tried to be as explicit 
 as possible, so that success must be certain to all who follow our rules. We 
 have retained no trade secrets, but give it all away as far as we know. The 
 prizes will be distributed as follows : 
 
 For the best 36 blooms, not less than 12 varieties, first prize, - - $2500 
 
 For the 2nd best 36 blooms, not less than 12 varieties, second prize, 10 00 
 For the 3rd best 36 blooms j not less than 1 2 varieties, third prize, - 5 00 
 
 These blooms must be sent to us by express any time from the 1st to the 
 15th of November next. There will be no entrance fee for this contest, but 
 no one is eligible to compete whose name does not appear on our order book 
 this Spring for a sum of not less than Three Dollars in Chrysanthemums. 
 Any further information desired on this subject will cheerfully be given. In 
 Fall Catalogue we will give full instructions as to how the flowers ought to 
 be cut and shipped. The blooms eligible to compete for this must be of 
 good size, only one bloom on each stem, and cut with a long stem.

 CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE. 
 
 EW plants will exist under as much neg- 
 lect as a Chrysantlieinum, and yet there 
 is none more capable of being so highly 
 developed than this now all popular 
 plant. Out of the hundreds, probably 
 thousands, of ladies and others that grow 
 Chrysanthemums, only a very small pro- 
 portion of them give them the proper 
 treatment. In most cases after they set 
 their plants out in the Spring, nothing 
 further than a little working and weed- 
 ing, and perchance a stake to keep them 
 oft’ the ground, is about the sum and 
 total of the cultivation they receive. 
 With such treatment as this you may 
 get a very showy plant in the Fall that 
 to a majority of people would appear 
 very pretty, but good flowers or handsome plants can never he attained in this 
 way. It is not many years since it was said that the Chrysanthemum would 
 not do well in the South, but our experience and the experience of others at 
 various points throughout the entire South have completely refuted till that has 
 been said in that direction. We believe on the contrary that the climate of the 
 South is especially suited to its cultivation, and we are determined to prove it 
 not only by our own practice here, blit by the care and cultivation our plants 
 receive by all who follow our instruc- 
 tions, and as an inducement to do this 
 we offer some valuable premiums to 
 the parties that send us the finest 
 blooms next November. 
 
 HOW IT IS DONE. 
 
 In early Spring secure nice healthy 
 young plants in a fresh growing con- 
 dition. Avoid those that are rather 
 large and have a hard woody stem. 
 
 These are plants that were rooted in 
 November and December and got 
 stunted through the Winter, and on 
 this account will not make a vigorous 
 growth, and areaptto rustand become 
 unhealthy long before the Summer is 
 over. Better far secure a nice grow- 
 ing plant with soft wood and in a 
 healthy condition, if well rooted no 
 matter how small, for it will soon 
 grow off with much vigor, and if pro- 
 perly cared for, will retain it all the 
 Summer and look rich and luxuriant 
 when the large hard wooded plants 
 before mentioned look stunted and 
 less vigorous. We grow all our large 
 
 specimen plants from cuttings rooted Mrs. Carnasiie. 
 
 in February and March. We give elsewhere a list of the different varieties best 
 suited for a special object of culture. After selecting your plants, choose a nice 
 open spot where they will have sunshine each day. Make the soil rich to a 
 depth of at least eighteen inches with cow manure, and a little hone dust if at 
 hand. If the soil has a tendency to be stiff or clayey, add a little sand to keep 
 it porous, as the Chrysanthemum delights in a rich rather light soil. Set the 
 plants carefully out, taking care that the roots are moist and in no way suffer- 
 ing for want of water. As soon as your plants begin to grow, place a nice stake 
 to each one. Allow only one shoot to grow, and when this lias attained the 
 height of about eighteen inches, nip the top off with th# finger and thumb. 
 Don’t nip it down too far, just only (he centre bud is all you want to remove. 
 This will cause it to emit side branches, all of which must be removed from the 
 lower part of the stem, and by no means let any come up from the foots. These 
 
EVERGREEN LODGE, 
 
 32 
 
 must be cut away as soon as they appear from the surface of the ground up to 
 say about twelve inches of the main stem. No shoots must be allowed to come. 
 All above this must be encouraged, and as they grow out must be nipped off at 
 the end, as you did the main shoot, always having due regard for the shape and 
 
 proportions of your pla nts. Through the 
 early Summer months, when they are 
 growing rapidly, this nipping will need 
 attention every week or ten days, and by 
 a close observation of these rules you wiil 
 have a nice shaped plant on one stem to 
 reward you for your attention. Re care- 
 ful as the plant gets larger to add more 
 stakes to keep it from breaking off at the 
 joints, as Chrysanthemums grown in this 
 way are very liable to snap off at the 
 joints from the least cause. The neatest 
 way is to put one strong stake in the 
 centre and loop the different branches 
 up to it, using a separate string for each 
 shoot, and not pass the string entirely 
 around the plant and tie it, as you would 
 a sheaf of wheat, as is frequently done. 
 This manner keeps the branches too 
 close, and the air cannot circulate freely 
 enough through them to induce their 
 proper development. At all times dur- 
 ing the Summer keep the ground around 
 the plant nicely worked, never allowing 
 Mrs. Aiphcus Hardy. the ground to become baked. Water 
 
 always in dry weather. This is best accomplished by making a little basin with 
 soil around the stem of plant to prevent the water from running away when 
 poured on, and cause it to soak in directly over the roots, where it will do the 
 most good. In dry weather a little mulching of grass or litter of any kind 
 thrown over the roots will prevent them from dryingoutso rapidly. After the 
 first week in August all pinching and cutting must be discontinued, except any 
 that comes from the roots or lower part of the stem ; to allow these would spoil 
 the appearance of the plant. Early in September the buds on many of the 
 varieties will be beginning to form. At this time a watering of liquid 'manure 
 
 occasionally, but the manure will last a couple of weeks. As soon as the buds 
 commence to form they must be closely watched, and when about as large as 
 peas, every bud but the one on the extreme top or end of the shoot must be 
 removed. Just rub them off with the finger and thumb, and carefully preserve 
 the end or terminal bud ; this is where large flowers are required; It seems a 
 great waste ot the blooms to do this, but do it once and you will never regret 
 it. One large flower attracts more attention in a display than a thousand small 
 or medium sized ones. By this mode of treatment we had flowers that meas- 
 ured from eight to ten inches in diameter on a number of our plants that as- 
 tonished all who saw them. It is best to cut away all the weak shoots and not 
 let them flower at all. Select only the strongest snoots : leave only one bud on 
 the end of each shoot; keep an eye on them occasionally, as little buds will 
 keep coming lower down the shoot that must be removed. With this treat- 
 ment, if large flowering varieties are selected, there will be no trouble in having 
 blooms from seven to ten inches across, and a plant grown in this way with 
 only a dozen blooms on it, is more showy and more attractive in every way 
 than six of the best varieties you can secure grown, or rather let grow, iii their 
 own spontaneous way. During the period the buds are swelling give them 
 plenty of liquid manure, but as soon as the blooms begin to expand, give them 
 clear water. After the blooms are fully expanded, if shaded from bright sun 
 they wlil last a much longer period. The culture in pots can be carried on 
 exactly as the foregoing rules state; the same applies to both pot and open 
 ground culture. When grown in pots they will have to be shifted into larger 
 pots from time to time, as the growth of the plant demands it, and must be 
 potted into the pots they are intended to bloom in not later than the first week 
 
CLAR IvS VI LLE, TENN . 
 
 33 
 
 in July, and not afterwards disturbed at the roots. Keep the pots plunged or 
 sunk iu the ground up to the rim of the pot, as this keeps them from becoming 
 dry so rapidly, and greatly adds to the health of the plant, as when grown in 
 pots they are more liable to suffer from want of water, and consequently need 
 more care than if they were planted in the open ground. When the plants are 
 grown in the ground all the Summer and taken up and potted in the Fall for 
 house or conservatory decoration, the transferring of them info pots isa critical 
 period. This is best accomplished by the middle of September or October 1st 
 if the weather is cloudy and favorable. Plants intended for potting should he 
 cut around from eight to ten inches from the stem with a sharp spade or knife 
 running theimplement into the ground to a depth of about fourteen inches all 
 around the plant; this cuts off all the rambling roots and induces the ones 
 inside the circle to grow more dense and make a complete mass of roots and if 
 the above cutting is attended to about once a week for two or three weeks be- 
 fore potting, when the time comes to pot your plants will lift up with a nice 
 ball of roots and suffer little or no check in the operation. After potting have 
 a tub of water at hand and stand them in it for about twenty minutes, with the 
 water above the top of the top. After this remove to the shade and keep them 
 there a few days, gradually inuring them to the sun. If they show a tendency 
 to wilt, keep in shade a few days longer, and keep the foliage moist by frequent 
 sprinklings. Standard Chrysanthemums is the trade name for plants »rown 
 on a single stem to about the height of thirty or thirty-six inches, with a nice 
 round head of bloom on pot. To grow them in this way needs more attention 
 and skil 1 than in any of the other ways. A proper sclectioir’of varieties best 
 adapted for this purpose is of all importance, which we give elsewhere. The 
 directions before given apply to these in same manner, only instead of nippin«- 
 the to)i otl at eighteen inches, the desired height of thirty or thirty-six inches] 
 
34 
 
 EVERGREEN LODGE, 
 
 as the case may be, must be attained before the top is pinched off. To attain 
 this height of the single stem, all side shoots must be carefully watched aud 
 rubbed off as quick as they appear, also any shoots that show a tendency to 
 start from the roots, allowing only the one straight, stem to grow, which must 
 have a good stake to protect it. and keep it straight. When flic desired height 
 is attained, pinch the top off and treat the new shoots that come from the sides 
 as before directed, and allow none to come out on main stem for say Ibirly 
 inches above the ground. If your main stem has not attained thirty-six inches 
 in height before pinching, of course shoots must be allowed to come, out a little 
 lower down, so as to form a good head. In growing standards they must be 
 kept in pots all the 'time, that is where they are wanted for conservatory or 
 room decoration in the Fall, as there would be danger of loosing them when 
 transplanting to pots after all their growth was made ill open ground. In the 
 far South, where they remain out all the time, it. is not necessary to keep them 
 in pots, but may be grown to standards in the open ground with the same care 
 as the other Chrysanthemums. 
 
 RE is hardly a plant which is more popular among all 
 classes on the globe than what is generally known as the 
 Horse-Shoe, Zonule, or Fish Geranium. The Geranium 
 is found under many different circumstances ; it helps to 
 embellish the conservatories of millionaires as well as the 
 homes of the humble and industrious, but it loses nothing 
 of its inherent beauty on that account. It wanders with 
 the household furniture from place to place, and the good 
 wife makes a special request to her husband not to forget 
 her Geranium. The propagation of the Geranium is uni- 
 versally known. Every woman knows how to slip it or 
 grow it from cuttings ; it is also produced freely from seed. They stand the hot 
 sun of the South better than any ot her class of plants. They produce more 
 Lowers and make a. better display on whatever place they are grown than any- 
 thing that could be grown on a similar space; Our stock is very fine, and much 
 larger than we ever sent out before.

 DAHLIAS. 
 
 ANY think the Dahlia is the grandest Autumn flower we

 vided into four pretty distinct classes, the ordinary or Show 
 Dahlia ; the Dwarf or Bedding Dahlia, the Pompone or Bou- 
 quet, with small, very perfect flowers, and the. Single Dahlia, 
 which is now becoming very popular, and especially desira- 
 ble for cutting. As the Dahlia is a Fall flower, there is no

 CARNATION PINKS. 
 
 ARDY CARNATION PINKS, next to Roses*, are the most 
 popular flowers grown. Young plants should be procured 
 iu April or May, and be sure that they are young plants, no 
 matter how insignificant they may look, for large plants are 
 ones that have been bloomed all Winter, and are compara- 
 tively worthless. Carnations are quite hardy, and should 
 be planted as early as possible, just as soon as - the ground is 
 in condition to work. The soil should be quite rich , well 
 manured with thoroughly rotted manure, or, if not to be 
 had, bone dust may be used to a good advantage. To have a beautiful bed of 
 Pinks in the Fall, the plants should be set out about eight inches apart each 
 way ; as the plants grow, they should he “stopped,” that is, when the shoots of 
 growth become six inches long, they should have the points pinched out. The

 HOW TO MAKE A LILY POND. 
 
 The best, way to grow Dilies and other Aquatics for ornament, is to dig a place 
 two feet deep and as large as you wish it, cement it, and divide it into compart- 
 ments four by four (to keep them from spreading) by building walls one foot 
 high across it with brick. Place good rich soil in this, and sot one plant in each 
 compartment. Set Bananas around the sides, and it will prove the greatest 
 attraction you can grow, and well wortli the labor bestowed upon it. 
 
 PLANTS FOR CARP PONDS, ETC. 
 
 All who are interested in the culture of the Carp know that the authorities 
 on the subject make it a most essential point that the ponds should lie stocked 
 with abundance of Aquatic plants, for furnishing food, concealment, shade and 
 the material upon which they prefer to deposit their eggs. We know from 
 experience, that a pond well supplied with all sorts of plants will produce more 
 than double the amount offish than one without them. A pond stocked with 
 these useful fish and with a collection of our choicest native Aquatics, together 
 with the lovely tropical sorts, caunot fail to bean endless source of pleasure and 
 profit. 
 
 WATER LILIES IN TUBS OR CEMENT BASINS. 
 
 For the open air a good degree of success may be attained by planting them 
 in large tubs or half-barrels, on the surface or sunk in the ground. They should 
 be placed where they will receive (lie full benefit of the sun for at least the 
 greater portion of the day. Fill about half full with the soil recommended for 
 Water Lilies. The next best arrangement for growing the Lily is to build of 
 brick and cement a basin two feet deep and as long as you may desire, cither

HYACINTHS AND TULIPS. 
 
 We frequently have orders for these bulbs in the Spring, and would here 
 remind our customers that Fall is the best time to get them. We grow sever- 
 al thousand in our greenhouses that flower in February and March, and can 
 be sent in bloom by Express at 20 cents each. When our bulbs are through 
 flowering they are of but little account to us, not being good enough to grow 
 in pots another year. They are, however, good enough to set out in the 
 ground or another year’s flowering, and for this purpose we will sell them 
 cheap. Our selection, per dozen, 30 cents; per 100, $2.00. Tulips, 25 
 cents per dozen ; $1.50 per 100. 
 
 TESTIMONIALS.

 Evergreen Lodge Lawn Grass Mixture. 
 
 Nothing is pleasanter about a house than a good lawn, and nothing is 
 more easily made and kept in order by a little well-directed care. To get 
 grass seed up quickly and evenly, the surface must be mellow, so that it will 
 not bake after a rain. If the soil is clayey, after sowing the grass seed, 
 cover the surface with a light coating of manure, which may remain, except 
 a little of the coarsest. Four bushels of grass seed for an acre are required 
 to make a good lawn in a short time ; for small plats, five quarts to six square 
 rods, or about one quart to a square rod should be sown. Sow grass seed 
 for lawns as early as possible in the Spring, so as to give seed the benefit of 
 early Spring rains. Late sowing is seldom successful. It is better to wait 
 until September than to sow alter warm weather has commenced. The best 
 single kind is Kentucky blue grass. To four bushels of this (per acre) add 
 white clover and sweet vernal grass, about two pounds of each, and this 
 will make an excellent lawn. Our preparation of lawn grass contains blue 
 grass, white clover and sweet vernal grass and other very choice and fine 
 lawn grasses, and i , we think, the very best preparation possible ior our hot 
 and dry Summers, as we have been long making experiments to ascertain 
 this fact. Finest prepared, per bushel, $3.00; per peck, $t.oo.
