 for he is the largest trade grower of florists' flowers in the country, 

 and in his catalogue the prices of all the good ones will be found, as 

 in his admirably-managed nursery are to be found the plants. I have 

 the Editor's permission in this case, which is peculiar, as it is the 

 rule to avoid, as far as possible, naming traders.

 an outlay as to be obtainable, as one might say, for nothing. I shall
