CARTER AND CO.’S GARDENER’S VADE-MECUM FOR 1862. 
JAMES CARTER & CO.’S COLLECTION OF GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1862, 
OR 
COMPLETE ASSORTMENTS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS FOR ONE YEAR’S SUPPLY. 
In the following Collections it will be observed that there are fewer kinds than is usual in similar Assortments, as we have 
considered that it would be more satisfactory to our Customers to have increased quantities of a smaller number of varieties. 
We have Omitted, therefore, any sort of Vegetable that is not usually grown in Kitchen Gardens, and have doubt ed the size 
of the packets of the remaining most approved varieties. 
These Collections are always kept ready, and can be supplied at a moment’s notice.
