N. B. The Seeds are of the finest quality, and such as will recom- 

 mend themselves. They possess the advantage of being raised under 

 our own observation, or when imported from confidential correspondents 

 who grow them expressly for us, of being tested to our satisfaction, and 

 their accuracy and vitality are therefore expressly guaranteed. The im- 

 ported seeds are mostly obtained from the south of Europe, where they 

 become so well matured, that they preserve their vitality far better than 

 English seeds, the latter being so humJd a climate. The Catalogue will 

 be found to contain many new and very choice varieties never before of- 

 fered to the publiCj and incomparably superior to many of the old varie- 

 ties ; and it is intended to enrich this branch of the business with the 

 same zeal which has been extended to the other departments. A Sup- 

 plementary Catalogue is annexed, enumerating above 600 varieties of 

 Annual, Biennial, and Perennial Flower Seeds, very many of which are 

 of extreme rarity ; and they being mostly collected from Plants in tliis 

 establishment, their excellence may be relied on. The principal object 

 in view is to furnish venders of Seeds with wholesale quantities at rea- 

 sonable rates, but to accommodate our correspondents we cannot object 

 to furnishing smaller parcels for family gardens when applied for. Spe- 

 cimen beds are sown of every variety, for the inspection of visiters ; and 

 accurate descriptions are made for the purpose of perfecting a cheap work 

 which it is proposed to publish, containing descriptions of the different
