PARCEL AND LETTER POST 
LMOST everything in this Catalogue can be sent anywhere in Europe by Parcel 
Station, and immediately conveys all our postage matter to the General Post Office. 
So we are brought, as it were, within an hour of the Chief London Offices. 
V V] I 'E never grow anything expressly for competition, and therefore never, or very 
rarely, compete. We simply put together anything we may have, to show 
Spectators, and exhibit for what orders we may have the good fortune to get ; even this 
we have determined not to do unless we can well spare the time, so that neither 
stock or customers are neglected at home. 
Our Catalogue is large, but our Stock and Nursery is larger, and our facilities for 
rapid and correct carrying on business is all that can be desired. 
Ladies and gentlemen should send their gardeners at every opportunity to us, 
particularly when they are not successful with any plant, as we not only show them 
how flowers should be grown, but explain the whole process, for nothing has done us 
so much good as making all amateurs thoroughly successful with what we sell them. 
Sales by auction means something like selling off, and certainly shows the want of 
selling things ; it must also deteriorate the stock of the best plants. VV e hope to give 
the satisfaction to our old and valued customers that will secure their kind reconi- 
mendations and assistance to enable us to avoid those sales . 
The last few years we have assisted probably thirty Chapels and Churches, &c., 
besides other Institutions, nearly all unknown to us, with flowers, &c., without, as far 
as we know, ever receiving the slightest advantages. In these keen times this cannot be 
continued. Of course we take a pride, as all should, in their neighbouring church and 
chapel, which we decorate so as to be well known for miles. 
No Eoreign Order wall be executed unless freight and postage is fully prepaid, except 
well know’n old customers ; this must be observed. Whatever balance is left will be 
immediately returned, and we must ask to be fully remitted, allowing extra for strong 
plants, for if they are not strong, and in the best possible condition, they cannot be 
expected to outlive long sea voyages, such as India, China, and Australia ; this may 
be calculated at one-third more than that for ordinary plants, Catalogue i)rice.
