NOTICE. 



In again presenting our Spring Catalogue, we do so with much 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, new 

 and beautiful plants. The charming new Pelargonium Queen Victoria, a set 

 of very distinct and striking new Double Geraniums ; fine new Zonales, as well 

 as novelties among Fuchsias, Clematises, Carnations, &c. 



Our collection of Dahlias will be found to embrace all the novelties worthy 

 of cultivation which have appeared in Europe the past season among show 

 Flowers, Fancies, Pompones, Bedders, &c. 



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

 and the most vigorous plants, as all orders are selected under our personal 

 supervision. 



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. Orders to the amount of five dollars and upioards packed free of 

 charge. 



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. 



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 pay 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. O. D. 

 at his option. 



January, 1875. JOHN SAUL.
