 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 following collections, aU in good, strong roots, which when once planted 

 wUl, 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 assort- 

 jnent varies at different periods during the planting season.
