TSB.MS OF FL.O*WSB. SSSDS. 



Until recently it was our custom to have a uniform price for all varieties of Flower Seeds, viz : ten cents per 

 p)acket, or one dollar per dozen packets. As the value of nearly every commodity has been reduced, ten cents per 

 packet is too high for the ordinary varieties which are used by the majority of the people, and we have accordingly 

 reduced these to live cents ; again, there are many expensive green-house sorts, used by florists and others, in 

 which, when sold at ten cents per packet, there are not enough seeds to supply their wants. We have therefore 

 adopted a scale of prices in accordance with the cost and value of the seeds, and hereafter each variety will be 

 priced. We shall fill the packets with a liberal quantity of good, new seed, imported from the largest, the oldest, 

 and most experienced seed growers in Germany, France, England, &c., and we believe that when quality and 

 quantity are considered, our prices will be found to compare favorably with those of any reliable seeds7ne7i in 

 this country. The packets will be tastefully put up, most of them having a colored illustration of the flower 

 printed or hthographed on the paper. 



CLUBS. — In every community there can usually be found some lady who is extremely fond of flowers. Her 

 neighbors look to her for assistance in procuring seeds, and instructions in cultivating. Her advice is nearly always 

 gratuitous, for it is a pleasure to her to assist in cultivating a taste for the beautiful ; but m order to encourage the 

 growing of flowers, and as a slight compensation for such service, we have arranged the following pre7nium list^ 

 which applies to Flower Seeds in packets only, and at catalogue prices, a7td not to seeds in bulk : — 



Send us $i.oo, and select packets to the value of $1.15 | Send us $5.00, and select packets to the value of $6.15

SEEDS BY MAIL.— At catalogue prices, all Flower Seeds will be sent by msa\, post paid, unless otherwise 

 ordered. 



REMITTANCES.— Remittances may be made by Post Office Order, Draft on New York, by Express, or by 

 Registered Letter, but P. O. Order is preferable. When the amount is smdl, say one or two dollars, the currency 

 can usually be sent safely with the order. 



SIGN YOUR NAME. — In sending for seeds by mail, please use our order sheet and envelope, z.\\A give your 

 Name, Post Office, County and State, and write every letter so plainly that there can be no mistaking i' . It is 

 surprising how many fail to comply with above instructions, and then blame us for not receiving their seeds 

 promptly.
