FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NOTICES. 
Plants and Seeds are despatched to India through the Indian Parcel Post, and also by the 
ordinary mail. Customers will kindly notify by which service they wish their parcels sent. 
In America. Australia, India, and Cape Town, the general expression amongst both the trade and 
amate irs is “ iVone are so successful vi exporting plants as Vannell ^ Hons," consequently we need 
hardly say our trade has increased to a very great extent. 
When Plants are received abroad let them lie in milk-warm water for six hoots 
without removing the packing from the roots ; then unpack and put in pots, according to size, 
being careful to shade from sun, draught, and kept close until they make fresh growth. 
ALL ORDERS MUST BE FULLY PREPAID.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE. 
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. 
M S there any difficulty in getting plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to the most 
distant parts? No; none whatever. We 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 ns 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. 
IIVrF»ROVED RLANTS. 
Nothing is hailed with more joy by all lovers of Floriculture than gradual and marked improve- 
ment in our Florists' Flowers from year to year. Changes without attractiveness are of little or no 
value ; new colours and stout dwarf growth are qualities immediately sought for. We should be 
glad to hear from any amateurs or gardeners having new and improved varieties of plants (also 
vegetables, see Seed Catalogue) enumerated in our Floral Guide; they must be a decided advance 
on all existing kinds. 
^USIC'ULAS. 
^HESE are amongst the most charming eights we know of, and are certain to attract 
i, notice from those most oblivious to the beauties of flowers, their perfect form and 
“‘Six wonderful colouring rendering them the cynosure of all eyes ; whilst, in addition 
to their great loveliness, they possess that great desideratum in flowers — long-lasting blossoms.
