COLLECTIONS OF FLOWER-SEEDS, BY MAIL, FREE OF 

 POSTAGE TO PURCHASERS. 



In order to more extensively disseminate our choice varieties of Flower-seeds throughout the 

 county, giving those who reside at a distance the same facilities for procuring iaem as those who 

 have the opportunity to make personal application, we put up select assortments expressly for 

 sending by mail, giving particular attention to this department of our trade. The low rate of 

 postage enables us to supply distant customers with all the choicest seeds upon the same terms as 

 those who are near the market. Orders' may be forwarded to us with the understanding that the 

 seeds we furnish are of the very best .quality, and the selection such as will gratify every pur- 

 chaser. Our collections are made up with great care, and all the varieties, unless those entirely 

 new, are such as we have seen and cultivated ourselves, and can confidently recommend ; many of 

 the superb double varieties being such as have been raised from the fine flowers, specimens of 

 which have obtained the highest prizes of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

FORMATION OF CLUBS, 



The extensive distribution of our seeds is an especial object. Our Catalogue has been prepared 

 with much labor ; and it has been our constant aim to make it a complete and safe guide to the cul- 

 tivator, both in the selection of varieties and their growth. As an additional inducement to indi- 

 viduals who desire to possess a large collection, or for the formation of clubs for the same object, we 

 offer to send by mail,_/m? of postage, to any address in the United States, on receipt of the amount 

 of the order, seeds selected as follows :

Persons desiring us to make their selections may rely upon our sending only those which are 

 really showy and handsome, and easy to cultivate. We believe that our experience will enable us 

 to make selections that cannot fail to give entire satisfaction to any lady or gentleman who may 

 send us their orders. 



In sending orders for seeds by mail, it will be only necessary to give the date of the Catalogue 

 from which the selection is made, and the numbers, instead of the names, of the varieties. The 

 name of the person to whom they are to be sent, and the names of the Town and State, should be 

 so plainly written, that there may be no mistaking a single letter. We often receive letters contain- 

 ing money, the signatures of which are so indistinct as to make it almost impossible to decide where 

 and to whom the seeds are ordered to be sent. 



The above prices apply only to flower and garden seeds Jh packets ; for prices by ounce and 

 pound, see vegetable-seed department, in this Catalogue. Prices to dealers on application.
