William Prince <fc Son, Proprietors. 



In addition to the immense stock under cultivation in the establishment, 

 comprising more than 50,000 roots, the proprietors make very large an* 

 nual importations of the choicest new varieties from Holland, Belgium, 

 and other parts of Europe. The following have been selected with 

 great care from the finest foreign collections, and are remarkable for 

 their size, beauty, and peculiarity, and for the delicacy of their tints. 

 In the selection no expense has been spared, and great exertions and 

 large disbursements have been made in order to obtain the most beau- 

 tiful varieties of every class. It can therefore with the utmost confi- 

 dence be asserted that this collection is unrivalled in extent and variety. 

 The whole are cultivated under the same names by which they were 

 imported, and the prices are greatly reduced and are lower than have 

 ever before been offered to the public, the great increase of the stock 

 enabling us to tender this advantage to purchasers. Those who pur- 

 chase to re-vend, will be dealt with on the most reasonable terms. 



At the conclusion of the present Catalogue the necessary directions are 

 given for their culture, kc. 



Where the prices are by assortment, or by the dozen, the selection of the 

 varieties is to be made by the proprietors ; but if applicants will name 

 such as they^ already possess, those varieties will be omitted in the 

 selection.
