Note our collection has been carefully revised. Such varieties 

 as Florence Vaughan, Mile. Berat, Richard Wallace, Alphonse 

 Bouvior, Charles Henderson and many others which at one time 

 were the best of their respective colors, have been discarded, 

 newer, better varieties, at no advance in price, taking their places. 

 If you are not familiar with these newer sorts and will simply spec- 

 ify what color or type of variety you want we shall be pleased to 

 make a selection for you which we know will suit you.
