 London. 



JOHN KERN AN, in soliciting further favours, begs 

 to mention the fact that Annuals, Perennials, &c, may be 

 sown to greater advantage all this month, than at the usual 

 period. This arises from the hitherto ungeoial state of the 

 weather, which has been a severe check to early vegetation, in 

 consideration of which J. K. will feel happy to make every 

 allowance to customers whose purchases may have been injured 

 by the untowardness of the season. 



Collections may be had from 5s. to 20s. *
