and, if you have not 

 so at once } not only on ' ; 



!; a"ccount. of fhe low price, hut more especially on account of the saving in . 

 expre-ss charges*, as the plants will still carry safely by freight-. 



You will also bear, in mind ■•. the fact that we send out no imported case 

 lots of Azaleas as made up in Belgium, by. which means you receive fr'e M 

 quentiy varieties which are of.no commercial Value, besides plants wfiich 

 have been damaged in transit, but all of our stock as imported is 'un- 

 packed and damaged and poorly budded plants are discarded and you receive 

 only perfect stock- which' cannot help but give satisfactory returns* 



We frequently hear growers say that the difference in price between 

 Fall and Spring -delivery is not sufficient to warrant them to carry the 

 plants over Winter; ana. while we must admit that :'the mere advance in 

 prices between Pall and Spring is not great, the difference in the size 

 and quality ; of the -.plants, is very great, as we always select the cream 

 of 3,11 of our importations for Pall orders;: and, : ae a result, you will 

 be the gainer by at least 25/? in the—quality of the stock, besides your 

 plants being in better- selling., condition than when disturbed at the root 

 late in "the season .. ,

 scarce 'this, season, pur grower's werewable to supply us "'with a fine lot 

 of these 'two .important varieties' and we-. can still include 10% of each 

 of these, varieties in assorted lots,. 



Prices, for immediate delivery,, including packing and free delivery
