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, but no further division 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 78 collections, (479 varieties of plants, bulbs 

 and seeds) — sufficient to stock a greenhouse 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 collec- 

 tions of plants or seeds are not wanted, we allow the purchaser 

 to strike them out and duplicate any other collection offered.
