We take pleasure in offering our new and revised Catalogue of Bulbs 

 Plants, Small Fruits, etc., for the autumn of 1873. Our list will be found 

 to embrace all the leading and most desirable varieties. The Hyacinths will bt 

 found deserving of special attention, having been selected to secure the essen- 

 tial qualities of size, brilliant colors, and free-blooming. The single varieties 

 are especially recommended for forcing into early bloom in glasses. Our col- 

 lection of Tulips is also unusually fine. 



Quality of Bulbs.— All are first class, imported direct from the best 

 growers in Holland (which a personal visit to their establishments enables us 

 to do). They are entirely different from the refuse put up for auction, or 

 offered by the case as cheap, but which are in reality dear, as they are rarely 

 true to name or color, and frequently prove unsound. Many sorts, such as 

 Lilies, Gladiolus, and Green-house Bulbs, are grown at our own nursery, and 

 are of fine quality. 



Our Prices will be found unusually low ; we therefore cannot offer tc 

 deliver parcels free by express, unless ordered in large quantities at retail rates. 



Bulbs by Mail are delivered free at the retail prices. When ordered i» 

 large quantities a liberal discount is made, and it is always preferable to for 

 ward such orders by express. 



Plants by Mail.— No order under one dollar will be filled ; only small 

 plants can be sent, which are invariably at the purchaser's risk. Although we 

 have sent plants by this conveyance as far as Texas and California in perfect 

 safety, it is, however, always more satisfactory, when strong plants are desired, 

 to forward by express. 



All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied by Cash, 

 Post Office Order, or instruction to Collect on Delivery, by express. Collec- 

 tion charges on all bills under $5 to be paid by purchaser. 



A liberal discount to all purchasers ordering in quantity, especially when the 

 selection of varieties is left to our choice. 



$g" Caution. — Do not buy of travelling agents or peddlers. Some of these 

 impostors have represented themselves as our agents — beware of them. We em- 

 ploy no travelling agents. Send direct to headquarters, and then you are sure 

 of obtaining a genuine article at a moderate price. 



<g^ Be particular to write your name distinctly, with Post Office, County 

 And State, also the nearest Express Office. Address,
