Frequently we have sent our old and much-esteemed customers two copies, many of whom have 
forwarded them to their friends, but some have hesitated and written us to ask if they might post 
them on to an acquaintance. This is a trouble — re-direction and reposting, 'id . — and to save this 
we kindly ask our customers to slip the addresses of those friends on a card to us, so that the 
Catalogues may go direct. We hope that all real lovers of the garden aud good flowers will not fail 
to send their friends’ addresses, so that we may further extend our business, and their friends’ success, 
happiness, and interest in their gardens. 
The following engraving illustrates one of our stands of 12 distinct bunches of Double Begonias, 
which were exhibited and caused the greatest surprise and astonisliment from one end of the United 
Kingdom to the other.

great pleasure to hear their many expressions of satisfaction.
