“ The package of Verbenas came to hand yesterday in good order, for which 
you have my thanks. You may look for a good many orders from here 
another season ; I could have sold half-a-dozen packages, when I took mine 
from the post-office. TUOMAS MINER, Edinburg, Joqnson Co., Ind.” 
“ I have received yours of 27th May, with Verbenas in fine condition. 
T. J. PICKETT, MiTsvaLE, Kv., Juno 2d.” 
It will be seen by reading the above extracts, that many of the 
packages were five days in the mail bags, yet were received in 
perfect order, thus proving beyond dispute, that they can be for- 
warded in this way in safety. Some three thousand plants were 
forwarded by mail the past season, and where a person has access 
to a hot bed in which they can place them, in March or April, it 
is by far the most economical mode of transporting them dis- 
tances not exceeding three or four day’s journey. 
Should there be some who do not find the arrangement of I 
either package satisfaetory, they are at liberty to make their own 
selection, choosing the same proportion of novelties as are in- 
cluded in the foregoing. 
Those making their own selection, will please write the names 
of each variety separate and distinct, thus : 
Brilliant d’Vaise. 
Geant des Battailes. 
Dr. Mclean. 
Lord Raglan, &c. 
This will be much better than if written in the body of the 
letter, and mistakes will be less likely to oecur. 
Plants forwarded as early in the season as the weather will 
permit. All orders enclosing Cash will be promptly and faithfully 
attended to. Address, 
DEXTER SNOW, 
CmcopEE, Hampden Codntt, Mass.
