 FLOWERS,

WILLIAM R. PRINCE, & CO, Proprietors. 



In addition to the immense stock under cultivation in the establishment, the 

 proprietors make very large annual importations of the choicest new varie- 

 ties from Europe. The following have been selected with great care from 

 the finest foreign collections, and are remarkable for their size, beauty 

 and peculiarity, and for the delicacy of their tints. In the selection no 

 expense has been spared, and great exertions and large disbursements 

 have been made, in order to obtain the most beautiful varieties of every 

 class. It can, therefore, with the utmost confidence be asserted, that this 

 collection is unrivalled in extent and variety. Every species and variety 

 of Bulbous Flower Roots enumerated in any Catalogue in the Union can 

 be supplied by us, and always at as low, and in most cases at lower rates 

 than elsewhere. Those who purchase to re-vend, will be dealt with on 

 the most reasonable terms; and where no wholesale prices are named, a 

 deduction of 25 per cent, will be made from the retail prices. 



Orders for Bulbous roots should be forwarded from September to December, 

 inclusive. In open winters they may be planted at any time when the 

 ground is workable, and the bulbs have not grown too much. 



At the conclusion of the present Catalogue the necessary directions are 

 given for their culture, etc. 



Where the prices are by assortment, or by the dozen, the selection of the 

 varieties is to be made by the proprietors ; but if applicants will name 

 such as they already possess, those varieties will be omitted in the selec- 

 tion.
