Special Culture, it would seem necessary for him to keep as perfoct 
a collection as possible in order to meet the wants of all. No 
other plant is sold from his establishment, consequently his whole 
time and attention is devoted exclusively to this particular branch 
of Floriculture, thus enabling him to carry it to greater perfection 
than would be the case were he to cultivate many species of 
plants. 
Iu describing the different varieties of Verbenas named in this 
Catalogue, the subscriber has endeavored to be true to nature, 
strictly adhering to truth, without exaggeration, as nearly all of 
them were described from specimen plants while in flower in his 
Garden ; and that he might not deceive those who may desire to 
purchase of jijm, he has inserted in this Catalogue no description 
but such as he believed to be strictly correct. And purchasers 
will please bear in mind, that he does not advertise varieties that 
cannot actually be found in his collection, although of some of 
the second class or older varieties, the stock is limited ; and per- 
sons desiring any of their old favorites, should order them as 
early in the season as convenient. 
Purchasers ordering by mail, may rely upon their orders being 
as satisfactorily filled as though they made the selection in 
person. 
And it is very important that persons ordering Catalogues or 
Plants, should write their name and address in as plain and dis- 
tinct manner as possible, thus : Dexter Snow, Chicopee, 
Hampden Co., Mass. Then there will be no trouble about their 
Plants or Catalogues reaching them safely and in due time. 
Many letters were received the past season iu which the names 
and address were quite difficult to decipher. 
All orders for Plants, from unknown correspondents, to secure 
attention must be accompanied with remittances in current bills, 
using postage stamps for fractions of a dollar. It is hoped that 
none will forget this, as it is quite annoying to have little out- 
standing accounts of three, five, and ten dollars, in perhaps a 
dozen different States.
