Short Notes and Information for our Customers. 
FREE CARRIAGE OF SEEDS. — Wo send all Vegetable and Flower Seeds carriage paid to any place in the United Kingdom, excepting 
Peas and Beans, Potatoes and Artichokes, when any or all of these arc ordered in small quantities, as in many such cases the carriage nearly, if not quite,

send the whole carriage paid.

Every article is charged at the very lowest price. Our object is to give the ready-money buyers the advantages they are really entitled to. It may 
happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariably means false economy in a variety of ways— good things must be looked 
after by good men, who must be fairly' paid, and good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care.
