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 fur- 

 ther 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 bo 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 S3, nine for $5, twelve for $6, twenty-one for $10, or 

 forty-five for S20 ; or the 81 collections, (527 varieties of 

 pkt7its, 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 collections of plants or seeds are 

 not wanted, we allow the purchaser to strike thew out and 

 duplicate any other collection offered.
