the preparation of plans for planting or laying out of grounds, we 
have had£prepared by a competent landscape architect a series of Plans of Hardy 
Borders with a list of suitable plants for positions either in sun or shade. We will 
be pleased to send a leaflet containing same free on application. ~ 
We also offer customers who are not acquainted with the different sorts the follow- 
ing collections, all in good, strong roots, which when once planted will, with little 
care, keep the garden gay with flowers from the time frost leaves the ground until 
late in autumn. 
These collections are made up of species and varieties strictly of our selection, and 
we are unable to submit list of contents as the assortment varies at different periods 
during the planting season.

One plant each of 50 distinct species and varieties, $7.00.
