For the City Garden, Suburban Garden and Country Gentleman's Home. 



The frequent request from customers for an assortment of garden seeds for a garden of small, medium or large dimensions, that will save them the 

 trouble of selecting, has induced us to offer the collections detailed below. Our long experience in selecting for thousands of customers enables us to make 

 up these collections so accurately of the best standard sorts as to be suited to the majority of people who do not wish novelties. 



The seeds we put in are of our very best standard sorts, and the quantities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such gardens as the titles 

 indicate. As we make up these collections in quantity before the busy season opens we are thereby enabled to sell them for fully 25 per cent, less than 

 they would cost if the articles were selected separately ; 

 so if two or three varieties included should be of no use to you, you 

 will still begetting the remainder for less than catalogue rates. 

 We can allow no alterations. 



With each collection we enclose 

 pamphlet on the cultivation of vege 

 tables.
