lo • ou r • Customers 
It is With much pleasure that We send you for the coming season, a copy of our 
ILLUSTRATED GUIDE FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS, and at the same time we 
beg to thank you for your very kind and liberal patronage during the past year, which has 
been a record, both for the number of customers on our books, and the volume of trade done. 
We also highly appreciate the many recommendations given by our customers to their friends, 
and shall at all times be pleased to forward catalogues free of charge, on receipt of the 
addresses of any who are interested in gardening. 
THE SEED HARVEST. The very severe and protracted drought experienced during 
the Summer of 1911 was most disastrous to the growing crops of many kinds of kitchen 
garden seeds, the result being a great shortage of yield, especially of most varieties of Reas, 
Onions, Carrots, Broad and Runner Beans. On the other hand, we are glad to say that 
such seed as was saved proved to be of exceptionally high germinating power. Whilst we 
anticipate that We have sufficient stock of most varieties for our extensive trade, We strongly 
advise our customers lo order early to prevent the possibility of disappointment. 
SEED POTATOES. Proved an excellent crop, the tubers being of more uniform size, 
cleaner and more free from disease than for many years past. Our list contains a selection 
of the choicest varieties in commerce, including many fine sorts raised by ourselves. We would 
once again emphasize the importance of constant change of ground, and change of stock- 
FLOWER SEEDS. We enjoy a very wide reputation for our magnificent strains of 
Choice Florists’ and other FloWer Seeds. In addition to our general list, we have added 
some splendid novelties in Sweet Peas and other subjects. 
OUR NURSERIES. Contain a grand stock of the choicest in Fruit Trees and Roses, 
Clematises and other Hardy Climbers, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Forest Trees, Fencing 
Plants, Hardy Herbaceous Plants, Florists' Flowers, &c., a full list of which will be found 
on pages / / 6 to 159. 
We have made every possible preparation for the prompt execution of orders, but as We 
arc invariably very much pressed at the height of the sowing season, We venture to ask ° ur 
regular customers to favour us with their orders as early as possible in the New Year , whatever 
may be the conditions of the weather.
