Greenhouse and Nursery Department. This department of our business has always been in the front rank of progressive horticultural establish- ments, and continues to-day the most completely equipped place of its kind, not only in this country but in the world. Our increasing business has again made it necessary for us to provide greater facilities for the prompt exe- cution of orders, and extensive additions have been made in the past few months to our packing and storage rooms as well as to the greenhouses. These build- ings, together with the propagating and storage frames, now cover an area of over twelve acres of ground. For the production of Hardy Plants, Bulbs, Cannas, Dahlias, Roses, Shrubs and similar outdoor stock, a large new tract of land has been added, and this department now aggregates an area of nearly two ^hundred acres, where, in their re- spective seasons, such blocks of stock as 150,000 Har- dy Phloxes,. 50,000 Iris, 75,000 Peonies, 75,000 Tritomas, 150,- 000 Dahlias, 3 acres of Cannas, 6 acres of Water Lilies and other specialties in proportionate quantities may be seen under cultivation, and for the inspection of which a cordial invitation is extended to all, and while something of interest may be seen on any day in the year, sufficient to compensate for a long journey, the best time to visit us is, of course, during the period between July 1st and the end of October, when not only the various stocks under glass are at their best, but when most outdoor plants, grown either for seed, bulbs or propagating purposes, are in their full glory. Our Nurseries are situated at Riverton, N. J., nine miles from Philadelphia, and easily reached by frequent trains, trolleys, and boats, also by rail from New York. Time-tables on application.
