artificial heat is used only in winter, and from which the frost is excluded; a COLD 
GREENHOUSE, one in which there is no artificial heat, into which the frost is liable to 
penetrate, and for which the hardier species and varieties must be chosen. 
We deem it unnecessary to insert testimonials received by us from those with whom 
we have done business, but simply say that all orders with which we are favoured shall 
receive our careful attention as hitherto, our determination being to retain the high 
reputation we now have for supplying clean, healthy plants ; also for the excellence of our 
packing, by which we secure the safe transit of plants on the longest journeys. 
We now do a large foreign trade, sending many cases of Ferns not only to different 
parts of Europe, but to America, Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, &c. Our special 
attention is given to the execution of orders received from customers abroad, to insure the 
safe arrival of the greatest possible number of plants in each consignment. The many 
expressions of satisfaction and pleasure we are constantly receiving clearly testify that our 
care has not been in vain. 
We take this opportunity of again thanking all our customers for past favours, 
which have been highly esteemed. At the same time we solicit further orders, which will be 
carefully executed as in the past. We also request our customers to kindly recommend our 
Nurseries to their friends with whom we have not yet had the pleasure of doing business, and 
who require Ferns. 
We shall be pleased to correspond with anyone desirous of collecting and supplying the 
Ferns growing in the country in which they are residing.
