Also tho following from persons who received their Verbenas 
by mail : 
Tour remittance of fifty Verbenas by mail was duly received, and in ex- 
cellent order. They are admirably put up, and it is quite a valuable discovery 
that tender plants can be sent by mail such great distances in perfect order. 
Prop. CHARLES G. PAIGE, U. S. Patent Agent, 
Washington, D. C.’» 
“ I was agreeably surprised to see my Verbenas arrive in such excellent 
condition by mall. With many thanks for tho expense of freightage which 
you have saved me, I remain yours, C. BRINTON, Wawassen, Pa.” 
“ I received the Verbenas, which I ordered from your establishment, in 
fine order. They are now nearly all in fine bloom, and tho shades are perfec- 
tion itself, they are the finest collection I ever saw. 
Mrs, S. F, miller, North Franklin, N. Y,” 
Last spring we ordered from your establishment a box of Verbenas, which 
were received in excellent order by mail. The packing was so skillfully done, 
they would have borne a much longer journey in safety and good order. 
Dr. C. S. STILLWELL, Sag IIardor, L. I.» 
“The Verbenas you sent me by mail reached mo Saturday afternoon, and 
wore potted and placed upon the shelf in my greenhouse the same evening, 
and are now looking as fresh and vigorous os though they had never been out 
of the house. I thank you for sending them so promptly. 
ROBERT REVEL, Norwich, Conn.” 
‘‘The Verbenas arrived by mall, yesterday, in excellent order, not in the 
least tho worse for their long journey, indeed so beautifully were they packed, 
I am sure they could have traveled much farther without injury. 
ALBERT CHAPMAN, Roose’s Point, N. Y.” 
“The package of Verbenas was received on Saturday evening, (being five 
days in the mail bugs,) they were all in the most perfect order, except one 
which had the stem mashed. I have no doubt they would have survived a 
journey of five days more; so your friends within six or eight day’s journey 
by mail, may have no fears. Dr. H. U. HARVEY, Hagerstown, Md ” 
“ Your letter and the plants arrived yesterday. The plants arrived in fine 
order and from their appearance would have remained two or three days 
longer without receiving Injury. They were so fresh that I planted them out 
at once, and to-day being very hot, I have inverted a flower pot over them, 
far they stand it well. CHARLES S. BELL, Lexington, Ky.”
