OP VERBENAS. 
No person ordering either of the Packages named, will ever 
have reason to feel in the least disappointed, as they include the 
best varieties in cultivation, and are arranged in such manner 
as to produce a fine effect when in flower. The arrangement will 
also be found quite convenient to the purchaser, as they have only 
to enclose the money and number of Package desired, without 
being obliged to write off a list of names. If, however, the 
purchaser selects a Package that includes two or three varieties 
already in their possession, they can have others substituted by 
writing their order thus : Please enclose Package No. — , sub- 
stituting Lord Raglan for Brilliant d’Vaise, Defiance for 
King op Scarlets, &c. 
The facilities of the subscriber for forwarding plants by Rail- 
road or Express are unsurpassed ; as he is located within a short 
distance of Springfield, Mass., the great center of Railroad com- 
munication from the North, South, East and West, and all pack- 
ages will be put up in such manner as to enable them to be trans- 
ported hundreds of miles without the slightest injury to their 
foliage ; as the following testimony, which he selects from a large 
number of letters received from those who purchased plants of 
him the past season, will prove : 
“ The Verbenas ordered from you arrived safely, and in perfect order, 
looking as fresh as if just taken up. I am much pleased with the care evi- 
dently bestowed in packing them for so long a journey. You may expect to 
hear from me again. Yours truly, 
P. B. GILBERT, Guam) Rapids, Michigan.'' 
“ Your box of Verbenas arrived safely by Express, well-packed and in good 
order, JUDGE McCOItD, Temple Grove, Montreal, Canada.” 
“Dear Sir: — Your lotter of the 6th inst., stating that you had forwarded 
to me the Verbenas which I had ordered, was received on the 11th, but the 
box containing the Plants (sent by Express,) did not reach me until yester- 
day, having been twelve days on the way; inconsequence, however, of the 
admirable manner in which the Plants were put up, they came in fine con- 
dition, and but one or two seem lujured at all ; this shows that Verbenas can 
be sent from Massachusetts to Illinois with perfect safety, the time, generally, 
would not exceed seven or eight days. Yours truly, 
1VM. GOODING, Lockport, III.” „
