As will be seen by referring to the general list, most of the old 
and well known varieties are still retained, for the accommodation 
of those, who having once grown them, and knowing what they 
are, prefer them, either from association or for the reason that 
they have never seen better, and consequently had rather trust to 
these than to new varieties of which they are wholly ignorant. 
Other reasons for retaining so large a collection, are, that the sub- 
scriber having adopted the plan of Special Culture, it would seem 
necessary for him to keep as perfect a collection as possible in 
order to meet the wants of ail. No other plant whatever, is sold 
from his establishment, consequently his whole time and attention 
is devoted exclusivdi/ 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. 
In 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, or in 
fact quite 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 him, he has inserted no description but 
such as he believes to be strictly correct. And purchasers will 
please bear in mind, that he does not advertise varieties that can- 
not actually be found in his collection, although of the second 
class or older varieties, the slock is comparatively small, 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 tilled as though they made the selection in person. 
It is very important that persons ordering Plants, should write 
their name and address in as plain and distinct manner as possible, 
thus, “ Dexter Snow, Chicopee, Hampden Co., Mass.,” then
