ISrOTICE. ,3^5 



In again presenting our Spring Catalogue, we do so with mucli pleasure, 

 having added largely by importation of everything new and valuable among 

 the various classes. 



We especially offer to the notice of our patrons many extremely rare and 

 beautiful plants, suitable for the green-house as well as for bedding out. 



When selections are left to ourselves, the very finest varieties will be sent, 

 and the most vigorous plants. 



After many years' experience in packing and forwarding plants to distant 

 countries, we flatter ourselves we can pack both economically and safely for 

 any distance. 



No charge is made for boxes or packing. 



The greater part of the new plants, and nearly all the bedding plants, can be 

 forwarded by mail at the prices quoted ; on their reception they should be potted 

 and placed in a frame or greenhouse to recover the effects of the journey. To 

 Florists and Nurserymen who wish new plants, the mail offers the greatest 

 facility for obtaining such, as they know how to care for them on their arrival^ 

 Amateurs who have no means of caring for plants after a journey through the 

 mail, as well as all persons requiring a considerable quantity of plants of a 

 larger size, had better have their orders by express. If left to me, I will for- 

 ward in such way as I deem best for the purchaser. 



In all orders by express, good plants are added in proportion to the value of 

 the order or distance. Persons getting up clubs will be liberally rewarded 

 with choice plants in proportion to the amount remitted. 



The prices at which some of the new plants are offered, may appear high to 

 persons unacquainted with the importation of these articles. For such we have 

 to pa}" high prices in Europe, adding duty, freight, risks, &c., to justify which 

 when first offered, the price should be proportionate — though we make it at the 

 lowest possible rates, and as stock increases the price is reduced. Older and 

 standard varieties are offered at our usual very moderate rates. 



Orders intended for mailing should be accompanied with a remittance, but in 

 express orders the purchaser may remit, or the article will be forwarded C. 0. D. 

 at his option. 



Write your name plainly ; give post-office, county and State, whenever you 

 write, no matter how frequent. 



Customers who fail to receive a catalogue in due time, will please inform us 

 of the same, that a copy may be sent, as catalogues are frequently lost in the 

 mails. 



We charge for plate with catalogue to applicants who have not previously 

 purchased, but when, however, orders are subsequently sent, the price of the 

 catalogue will be allowed. 



This catalogue annuls prices in all former issues.
