We will send any one of the following 



COLLECTIONS 



Free by Mail for $1.00, 

 OR BY EXPRESS (Buyer to pay Charges), 



On the Conditions named at the end of this List. 



An excellent selection may be had very cheap from the plants 

 below named, for filling baskets, vases, window boxes, etc. 



Each collection (unless otherwise stated) contains all distinct varieties of the newest and choicest kinds of our selection. All are- 

 labeled when sent by express, but are not labeled when sent by mail, although we send just as good and distinct sorts. If purchasers- 

 will read carefully the conditions of sale named on the bottom of this page, they will readily see that our Express Club Rates on three or 

 more collections are so low that it does not pay to have plants sent by mail any more. Of course, in cases where there is no express office, 

 or to very extreme distances, plants have to be sent by mail, in which cases we pack by the most approved methods, to have them arrive 

 in good condition; but we would again reiterate that it is to every purchaser's interest to have plants sent by express when practicable.

No order is filled for less than one dollar, but we allow buyers 

 to halve collections if they desire it ; for example, we will send i 

 Abutilons and 5 Ageratums for SI. 00, but no further divisions of 

 the collections will be made. Although it is a convenience to have 

 plants sent by mail to places where there is no express office, 

 yet in all cases where plants can be sent by express we always 

 advise them so sent; for not only are we enabled to sell much 

 cheaper, but larger plants can be sent, and they invariably arrive 

 in better condition. We therefore offer the above collections to be- 

 sent by express, buyer to pay charges, at the following exceedingly 

 low rates : Three collections for $2, five for S3, nine for $5, twelve 

 for $6, twenty-one for S10, or forty-five for S20, or the 80 collections 

 (520 varieties of plants, bulbs and seeds — sufficient to stock a green- 

 house or garden) for S35, to which our book, " Gardening for Pleas- 

 ure," and Catalogue (value $2.25), will be added ; in cases where any 

 of the collections of plants and seeds are not wanted, we allow the 

 purchaser to strike out and duplicate any other collection offered. 



The seeds and plants arrived to-day in fine condition, and much quieter than I expected. Accept many kind thanks for extra plants and seeds, every one of which 

 is different from what I already have.— ilKS. H. M. Spalding, Concordia, Kansas, March 9th, 1889.
