FHESH * PMkl^ * SEEDS. 



FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE DELIVERY. 



We have made special arrangements direct with collectors to take large quantities, thereby enabling us to offer 

 them at much lower prices than they are usually sold at, and thus getting them direct, enables us to send out fresh 

 seed, which is of more importance with this class than with any seeds we are acquainted with. 



dt^We fill all orders as soon as the seeds are received by us which necessarily will be at different seasons 

 as the time of ripening varies in different species. 



The varieties marked with a (*) are now in stock.
