Our Annua] Fall Catalogue for this season, we beg to say that our stock of Dutch Bulbs are now in store, 

 and orders for any kinds here catalogued can be forwarded as soon as this list reaches customers. The 

 quality of the Bulbs is fully up to the high standard of our stock in previous years, and cannot fail to 

 give general satisfaction. 



Willter-Flowerillg Plants. — Your attention is also called to the fact that the preparation 

 of Plants for this purpose is now a large and special feature of our business. Our new and improved 

 system of Greenhouses, the largest in this country, has aided us largely in this class of culture, and 

 tended to greatly simplify our work, and enables us to offer a stock of Plants, this Fall, unsurpassed in 

 health and vigor, and at exceedingly reasonable prices. 



Olll' Plant, Bulb and Seed Warehouse, which has long been the largest in the City of 

 New York, we found the past season to be so much inadequate for our business, that this summer we 

 have added to our area, by securing the premises, No. 37 Cortlandt St. Our two buildings now give us 

 a space of thirteen floors, each 25 x 128 feet. With our increased facilities, we can still better systema- 

 tize our business, so that the filling of orders will, if possible, be more prompt than ever. 



Forwarding Of Orders. — Except in rare cases, all orders are forwarded the day after they 

 are received by us. Those of our customers who require Bulbs, Seeds, and Plants will find it a con- 

 venience to send their orders to us, as the orders can be sent together in one parcel, and in that way 

 save additional express charges. 



Premiums. — On all orders from this list to the amount of $5.00 and upwards, (in one order), 

 we will send without charge a copy of Peter Henderson's ^Horticultural Essays," value, 75 cents, or 

 when the order is to the extent of $10.00 and upwards, purchasers' choice of any one of Peter Hender- 

 son's three books, " Gardening for Profit," "Practical Floriculture," or " Gardening for Pleas- 

 ure," retail price of which is Si. 50 each, and when the order amounts to $20.00 and upwards, we will 

 send the buyer his choice of any two of the above three books, or instead a copy of our latest work, 

 " Henderson's Handbook of Plants," the value of which is $3.00, but it is understood that the book or 

 books desired must be selected at the time of ordering. When books are not wanted, their value may 

 be selected in goods at list rates.
