Reliable Flowep v Seeds. 



Our List has again been carefully revised and all inferior varieties discarded. For the convenience 

 of our customers and facilitating the filling of orders, we have introduced a system of numbering which 

 will be found very .-erviceable. In ordering it is only necessary to give the number of packets wanted 

 and the corresponding number in the Catalogue, viz.: — I Pkt. 5010, 25; 3 Pkts. 5031, 15 ; — means one 

 packet Abutilon, mixed. 25 cts ; three packets Adonis /Estivalis, 15 cts. 



Writing the name as well as giving the number is superfluous and is in no way an aid in filling 

 orders. Please use the Order Sheet. . It is desirable that customers should keep a copy of their orders, 

 as frequently we receive complaints of errors, whereas reference to the order shows correct filling.
