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 3 Abutilons and 2 Azaleas for $1.00, 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 collec- 
tions to be sent by express, buyer to pay charges, at the 
following exceedingly low rates: Three collections for $2, 
five for $3, nine for $5, twelve for $6, twenty-one for $10, or 
forty-five for $20, or the 85 collections (541 varieties of 
plants, bulbs and seeds|—sufficient to stock a green-house 
or garden—for $35, to which our book ‘‘Gardening for 
Pleasure,’ and Catalogue (value $1.75,) will be added; in 
cases where any of the collections of plants or seeds are 
not wanted, we allow the purchaser to strike out and dupli- 
cate any other collection offered.
