BULBS, SEEDS, PLANTS, ETC. 



'"'^Y^ N our semi-annual catalogues we have always aimed at giving our friends and patrons the 

 ♦ I benefit of our practical experience in the seleotion of varieties and the best methods of culti- 

 ^ I vation. With this in view, we offer only such articles as we know to be the best of their kind. 

 ^^ As usual, this autumn we have made a very careful selection of Balbs, Seeds and Plants suit- 

 able for the season, including the old, well-tried and really indispensable favorites, and many new 

 things, which, thorough trial has demonstrated, are possesaed of real merit. We have the utmost con- 

 fidence in recommending them, being fully assured all will give entire satisfaction to our customers. 

 Our seeds are all tested. Our Bulbs are carefully selected from the best growers. Our Plants are 

 prepared with the utmost care. We guarantee all of first=class quality. 



BULBS, Named and Unnamed. _xt win be noticed that in most instances named 

 sorts are somewhat more expensive than the unnamed kinds. The reason is this: The named kinds 

 are, at an expenditure of much time aud money, very carefully selected, cultivated with great care, 

 labeled, and the several varieties kept separate so as to preserve them pure and true to name, so that 

 not only is the exact kind and color dafiuitely kaowu— in itself a matter of much importance — but 

 all are of a very superior quality. On the other hand the unnamed kinds are not so uniformly good, 

 being less carefully handled. 



WHEN TO ORDER. _Most of the bulbs will be ready early in September. Customers 

 wiU be greatly benefited and ourselves much accommodated if ord-^rs are sent in as soon after the 

 receipt of this catalogue as possible. Those who order early are assured of a first or early choice and 

 a prompt delivery of the goods. As the season advances we are sometimes obliged to exercise the 

 privilege of substituting kinds, but wa invariably furnish varieties superior in general and ae near 

 alike in color to those ordered as possible. 



HOW TO ORDER. — ^n making out orders, be careful to give your full name and address, 

 plainly written, to prevent mistakes and delay. 



In ordering packages sent C. O. D., sifficient money must be enclosed with the order to pay ex- 

 press charges both ways, so as to protect us from loss, as it sometimes happens that persons do not 

 receive the goods on their arrival, and the express charges may be more than the value of the package.

 the United States, except where otherwise uoted.

 other way than as specified above, is entirely at the risk of the sender. 



PRiCES._Large purchases of bulbs enable us to sell them at very moderate prices. The 

 margin of profit, however, ,is small, so that we cannot ofEer large premiums, but all purchasers may-
