Wethebsfield, Ct., Oct., 1863. J 
The proprietors of this establishment take pleasure in presenting the 
i accompanying Catalogue, not only with the view of showing the extent 
) of their operations, but to furnish the purchasers of seeds with some of 
j the leading directions for their cultivation. 
The garden is located about three miles below Hartford, and has 
been established fourteen years. The proprietors attend in person to all 
the labors of cultivation, packing, and the fulfilment of orders ; and from 
the well-known superiority of seeds grown in a northern climate, they 
feel assured in warranting theirs to be fresh and pure.

and packed in- boxes of any size suitable for city or country trade, with 
appropriate directions for cultivation. Those intended for Mexican or 
Californian trade are put in bottles or tin cases, and hermetically sealed, in 
order that they can be safely transported any distance through divers 
climates, without injury from the voyage. 
All orders will be punctually executed, and delivered on board the 
Steamboats, at the Railroad Depot, or at the Express Offices in Hartford, 
whether addressed to the proprietors by mail or otherwise, accompanied 
by the money, or a draft realizable at sight or acceptance on some 
responsible house in Hartford, Boston, Philadelphia, or New York.
