CHOICE COLLECTIONS OF FLOWER SEEDS. 
As in Flower Seeds new species or varieties and iinjiroved strains are being 
constantly imported, proved, or raised, and offered by Mr. WiUiam Bull, it 
naturally follows that giving mere names and descriptions convey in many 
instances but an inadequate idea of the desirability of some of the handsomest and 
best introductions. Collections of Flower Seeds are therefore made comprising 
the choicest strains of popular favourite flowers, and including selections of the 
best novelties. 
Quality rather than quantity being especially considered — Mr. W. B.’s selections 
may safely he relied on in these Collections.
