 however, be used with the same advan-

 enumerated in the fore-part of the cata-

 the open border as interesting objects.

 the varieties are remarkably striking. 

 A few groups, well bloomed, in some 

 of our great gardens, such as we are wont 

 to see them in the Island of Guernsey, 

 would form a theme worthy of the 

 pen of our most celebrated writers on

LIST OF PLANTS USED BY MR. FLEMING AT CLIVEDEN. 



THESE ARE EEADY TO SEND OUT ANT TIME AFTER THE 1ST OCTOBER. 



In former editions of our Catalogue we have so fully dilated upon and explained the modus operandi 

 of Spiing gardening that we feel it superfluous to say more here. If there be any of our customers, 

 however, who are still sceptical as to the capabOities of their gardens for producing flowers early in 

 Spring, we would invite such of them as live in the home counties to pay a visit to Cliveden, the seat of 

 Her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland. There, under the able management of Mr. Fleming, they ^vill 

 find dress gardening out of doors all the year round. Those who reside in the midland or northern 

 counties we would recommend to visit the Lower Ground, Aston Park, where, to the credit of 

 Mr. Quilter, the proprietor, Spring gardening Lb made a prominent feature, successfully demonstrating 

 that locality has less to do with achieving this great desideratum than forethought and skill. 



Fifty will be charged at the rate j^er 100, and a less quantity at the rate per dozen ; and any quantity under 

 half-a-dozen will be charged a little higher than by the dozen.
