ISTOTIG E 



In offering this Catalogue to ray numerous friends and cus- 

 tomers, the object has not been to collect together a mass of 

 names, but to embrace a select and valuable assortment — not 

 so much to accumulate quantity, as to secure quality ; and with 

 this view, many varieties have been omitted which are still in 

 cultivation, while the most varied and choice articles are pre- 

 sented in each department.
