 increased number of neic varieties, and to the difference in our 

 prices from those giren in most cat dogues for the same varieties, 

 which theg have beeu plensed to term '' ?ioveUies,^' and for which 

 such exorbitant prices have been charged. Mliile we deprecate 

 the practice of bonstfuUy advertising seeds of flotcers as worthy 

 (f cultivation whichViave no merit except that of being new, we 

 shcdl continue to notice all those neiv varieties thd have been 

 tested and found va.hiable. hi the subjoined catalogue tee hare 

 sought rather to confi)i<' the varieties to such as ore known to 

 succeed ivelJ, than to off'er such an immense mimber that the 

 purchaser will b bewildered and undecided what to sehct.

 /'xperience for the last fifteen yeirs.has enabled us to make a 

 selection of seeds, which, we feel confident, will prove true to 

 their marks, p0f<sess vitality, and give entire satisfaction.
