Tjr\-n, VT 7 CTDc: 13 CTCzH* It has been my custom to give a limited space in xny catalogue 

 /•"*"\P Jr/lp* to 81.00 plant collections. Encouraged by their great success 

 in the past, this year I have decided to give them more prominence than ever before. 

 Consequently on this and the following page will bo found, I natter myself, us extra 

 choice ami well-selected Plant Collections uh have ever been catalogued. In 

 fact, I feel conliUent that Flowering Plant Collections of equal value will not be offered by 

 any other grower the country over. I wish to call special attention to the fact that many 

 of the Varieties offered are new, scarce, and often very Jtlgh-or iced; but by taking 

 them in collections, and growing them In large numbers, I am able to furnish them at the 

 remarkably reasonable figure of $1.00 each. Six collections for S5.00. By my careful system 

 of packing, it costs almost as much to prepare a single plant for mailing, as it does eight or 

 ten. I can the better afford to give the purchaser the extra advantage of a good collection at a 

 very low figure, considering quality and size of plants, than to sell and mail single plants 

 at often very high prices. So confident am I that these collections will meet the approval 

 of all my friends, that I look in 1890 for a greater demand for them than ever before.
