D. M. Ferry & Go's Descriptive Catalogue. 



It will be seen that where persons are not well acquainted with different varieties, so as to enable them to make 

 judicious selections, these sets offer great advantages for cheapness, and parties will usually get as good selections 

 as they could make themselves, our aim being, as far as possible, to satisfy every customer that favors us with an 

 order. 



The choice of varieties in these sets must be left entirely to us, as we positively cannot afford, at these collec- 

 tion prices, to permit customers to name the plants ; but all who prefer their own selection of varieties, can make 

 them at the price of single plants, which in all cases accompany the descriptions. These collections are subject to 

 the following conditions : That persons ordering are only to name the numbers designating the collection or col- 

 lections wanted, as it takes too much valuable time to read long letters giving detailed lists of plants in each collec- 

 tion desired. Simply the number of the collection or set is all sufficient.

11^°° We have frequent letters of inquiry similar to the following: " In your set of lo^Grape vines for $1.00, 

 please let me know what sorts you send ; also, in your set of 25 Raspberry plants for $1.00, what varieties do you 

 send ? " In reply to all such inquires, permit us to say, that we are only enabled to offer so large a number for a 

 dollar by retahiijig the privilege 0/ selecting the varieties when lue fill the order ^ and this excludes the possibil- 

 ity of naming in advance of filling the orders, what varieties will be used. But all sets will be filled with good sorts, 

 such as are named in our catalogue. In sets where the varieties are named, those of course will always be sent.
