SPECIAL NOTICE. 



No order is filled for less than one dollar, but we allow buyers to 

 halve collections if they desire it ; for example, we will send4 Abu- 

 tilons and 5 Ageratums for $1.00, but no further 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, vol 

 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 be sent, and they invariably arrive in letter 

 condition. We therefore offer the above collections 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 $20, or the 66 collections for 

 $28, to which our book, "Gardening for Pleasure," and Catalogue 

 (value $2.25), will be added ; in cases where any of the collections 

 of plants are not wanted, we allow the purchaser to strike out and 

 duplicate anv other collection offered.
