"THE BEST DOZEN. 



M 



From both amateur and professional cultivators we have complaints that everywhere the practice 

 is to grow too many varieties, so that the selection of the " best " from catalogues is impossible, even 

 by those best qualified to do so. To help such we have this season selected what, in our judgment, 

 are the " 12 best" and most distinct kinds, in each of the leading classes of plants, whether new or 

 old ; for many of the sorts of 10 or 20 years ago are yet unequaled.
