 hitherto honoured them with their commands, that their grounds 

 being situated at considerable distances from each other, and of 

 different soils, they are enabled by strict attention to grow 

 GARDEN SEEDS true to their kinds, and supply Seeds which 

 they know to be new, thereby preventing disappointment in the 

 crops. A great saving of expense will also be effected, and tha 

 most improved sorts insured by purchasing either of the under- 

 named collections, which are selected according to Messrs. 

 Suttox's actual knowledge cf the comparative merits of 

 kind. £

smaller Families

50 ditto in 50 ditto ditto

 of seeds themselves, S. & Sons have just published their annual 

 Catalogue of new Kitchen-garden and Flower Seeds, which will 

 be forwarded immediately, post-paid. 



*** Where a reference is given payment need not be made for 

 twelve months, which will afford ample opportunity for proving 

 the excellence of th* Seeds.— Reading Nu rsery, Berks, Dec. 21.

 tivated in the Garden of the Horticultural Society duimg the
