NOTICE 



Tn again presenting my Spring Catalogue, I do so with much pleasure, having 

 added largely by importation of everything new and valuable among the various 

 classes. 



I especially offer to the notice of my patrons many extremely rare and beautiful 

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



The description of the new plants are those of the parties who sent them out. 



When selections are left to me, the very finest varieties will be sent, and the most 

 vigorous plants. 



After over thirty years' experience in packing and forwarding plants to distant 

 countries, I flatter myself I can pack both economically and safely for any distance. 



No charge is made for boxes or packing. 



Single plants, bulbs, &c, will be mailed free; but when ordered by the dozen or 

 hundred, the single price or a sufficient amount must be remitted to cover postage. 

 On their reception they should be potted and placed in a frame or green-house 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 forward 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 I have to 

 pay high prices in Europe, adding duty, freight, risks, &c, to justify which when 

 first offered, the price should be proportionate — though I make it at the lowest 

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

 varieties are offered at my 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. 



In making out orders, keep plants and seeds separate — it saves us much time at 

 our busy season. 



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

 no matter how frequently. 



In all letters of inquiry, it is well to leave a blank space between each question 

 for an answer, this facilitates a reply in the busy seasou, when my correspondence 

 is very heavy. 



Please use the order sheet, or in a list apart from the body of the letter. This 

 much facilitates business and prevents errors. In making out orders please affix 

 prices, that I may know the size of plants required. 



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

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



I charge for plate with catalogue to applicants who have not previously pur- 

 chased, but when, however, orders are subsequently sent, the price of the catalogue 

 will be allowed. 



This catalogue annuls prices in all former issues. 



JOHN SAUL. 



February, 1883.
