Notice for English customers. 



Orders for seeds received here at Floraire are punctually attended to, and the parcels 

 of seeds are sent direct to England. "We generally forward them as « samples » (one to 

 6 d. postage). In war time we send them registered for the trifling extracharge of 2 Y2 d. 

 more. Goodsized packets of seeds are sold 6 d. each, the only difference being that in the 

 case of rarer seeds fewer arc put into the packet. 



There are some seeds of which we have larger quantity and that we can offer by 

 weight (per gramme, one gramme being the 30th part of an ounze so that 10 gr. = 7s oz.). 



Our seeds are our own crop or have been recolted on the Alps by our own people. 



We offer self made selections to : 32 sh. % ; 16 sh. the 50; 8 sh. the 25 & 4 sh. the 

 dozen. 



We do special collections for special exigences ; as following : Alpine Rockcries- 

 Wallgarden — dryslopes and barrenplaces — Wettplaces-Marshes and boggardens- 

 Underwoods — alpine and Swissmeadows-Chalk or clay soils-peat — borders and herbaceous 

 perennials — dwarf and hedgingplants. — Beesplants (Melliferous) — medicinalplants.
