AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, AND CHINA. 
a |S tlifirc txnv difiicxilty in gettiiif' plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to tho most 
I distant parts ? No, none wlmtever. We have exported tliousands of cases during the hist 
twenty-five years 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 pa cking 
liad better be left entirely in onr hands. Our post system for most things is certainly preferable, but 
such as Azaleas, Camellias, Fruit "J’rees, &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.
