CATALOGUE 
are described by Florists who have them for sale, in too 
glowing colors. The subscriber has, in some instances, 
been led into error by the descriptions given of plants he 
has procured of others ; and that he might not deceive 
those who might desire to purchase of him, he has insert- 
ed in this Catalogue no description but such as he believ- 
ed to be correct, and purchasers will please bear in mind 
that he does not advertise varieties that he does not actu- 
ally have in his collection. 
Purchasers ordering by mail, may rely upon their orders 
being as satisfactorily filled as though they made the se- 
lection in person. 
All orders for plants from unknown correspondents, 
must be accompanied with the cash, in current bills, using 
post stamps for the fractions of a dollar; and all letters 
of enquiry should enclose a post stamp. 
Persons not acquainted with the different varieties, by 
leaving the selection to the subscriber, may rest assured 
that no effort on his part shall be spared to suit them in 
every particular. 
His facilities for forwarding plants by Railroad or Ex- 
press, are unsurpassed, as he is located within a short dis- 
tance of Springfield, the great center of Railroad commu- 
nication from the North, South, East and West, and all 
packages will be securely packed in such manner that 
they may go hundreds of miles with perfect safety, as the 
following testimony, which he selects from a large number 
of letters received from those who have purchased plants 
of him the past season, will prove : 
“ Your box, containing 2 doz. Verbenas, arrived here on 
the morning of the 9th, in prime order; in fact, they look- 
ed as if they had just been taken from the shelf. Thus 
they have stood a journey of seven days, without suffering 
the slightest injury. 
ROBERT NELSON, Macon, Ga.”
