OUR FOREIGN TRADE. 
E have now so perfected the system of sending plants and seeds into the most remote 
parts of the world that success is no longer an uncertainty. 
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, AND CHINA. 
a s there any difficulty in getting plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to the most 
distant parts? No, none whatever. AVe have exported thousands of cases with far more 
success and less expense to those furthermost parts than has ever been done before. The 
main thing to ensure success is to let us have the order early , giving us time to prepare the plants, 
and to send at the exact and best time, and in all cases the way of packing had better be left entirely 
in our hands. Our post system for most things is certainly preferable, but such as Azaleas, Camellias, 
Fruit Trees, &c., should be left to us. Chrysanthemums we grow many thousands, especially for 
foreign trade ; and there is hardly a show but what the plants that we have sent out are not figuring 
most prominently. 
Mr. Rash Beiiary-Rot, Queen’s Street, Serainpore, India, 4(/i Aui/usl, 1897.
