EXPRESSLY FOR AMATEURS, 
DIEECT FROM THE GROWERS TO THE SOWERS. 
A few important words to all our Friends and Customers— 
COME AMD SEE OUR FLOWERS! 
Is our cry in nearly all gardening journals, and verbally. Seeing is believing ! and all 
will tell you that without seeing, one cannot form the slightest idea of either the extent 
or the beauty, excellence, and size to which we grow Flowers and Vegetables at Swanley and 
Eynsford. Our junior members of the firm, and foremen alike, take the greatest interest 
in growing, and telling all our customers how we produce flowers, &c., so near perfection, 
as can well be imagined, and in this we stand alone. Where are there others that 
cordially and continually all the year invite their customers, and critics in particular, 
to come and see their Houses and Flower Beds which are bearing seeds for their patrons, 
as we do ? None ! 
All through the Winter our Primulas, Cyclamen, and Zonal Pelargoniums are a grand 
sight. In Spring, our Cinerarias, Double and Single, Mignonette, Calceolarias, and Pansies 
are unrivalled. In early Summer, our Gloxinias eclipse all. In Summer, our Begonias, 
Show, Fancy, and Large Flowering Pelargoniums, Cockscombs, Balsams, Petunias. Verbenas, 
Asters, Zinnias, Stocks, &c., &c., are unapproached. Whole Houses, 100 feet long, full of 
not only the best, but far superior to any others in the world. Come and see. Be sure 
you see others before you come to see ours. Our great aim is to have the best of everything we 
offer for sale— it is a question, if flower growing, and seed saving, and hybridising was ever 
carried out on such practical and scientific principles as at Swanley certainly no firm has
