NOTICE. 
In regard to the stock offered for sale, it may be stated that the plants have not been 
over crowded and drawn up. "We have used good-sized pots, and given plenty of 
room, so that our plants are bushy, firm, and in the best possible order for sending 
out. I am happy to be able to say that our stock of Verbenas is entirely free from 
the prevailing disease of rust, and, when planted in new soil, they will be found to 
flower equally as well as in former years. Our Verbena bed of last season was 
admitted to be the most brilliant ever seen in this section. Considering the size 
of the plants, the prices will be found quite reasonable. 
Special attention is called to the stock of New Monthly Carnations, Hybrid Per- 
petual Koses, superb Gladioli, variegated and bedding (Jeraniums, Double Holly- 
hocks, new Verbenas and Chrysanthemums, which are of unsurpassed excellence 
in growth, with marked improvement in varieties. 
Whenever the selection of varieties is left to us, we will pledge ourselves to use 
the utmost care in giving the best kinds, 'and such as are most distinct. The 
greenhouse and plant department is under the constant supervision of Mr. William 
Cairns, whose practical and thorough knowledge, and long experience, both in 
raising, and in packing and forwarding plants, is the best assurance that orders will 
be executed so as to give entire satisfaction. 
Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with money, or with 
instructions to collect on delivery of the plants. 
On bills amounting to ten dollars and upwards, no charge is made for packing or 
delivery at any place in Boston.
