ROBERT SYDENHAM, 
NEW TENBY ST„ BIRMINGHAM, 
THE CELEBRATED AMATEUR IMPORTER OF BULBS. 
Haring been continually solicited by a large number of my Bulb 
friends to keep a select stock of the best and most reliable 
Vegetable and Flower Seeds, I have decided to do so. 
“Quality before Quantity ” being my “motto,” I shall 
spare no expense to get the very best strain of every variety 
offered in this list, and send out all fresh new seeds of the latest 
growth. The majority, if not nearly all ordinary Seedsmen say 
they will not he responsible for the failure of any Seeds. I 
cannot guarantee there shall be no failures, but as the best 
guarantee it is possible to give of my wish to sell only genuine 
Seeds, I will undertake to replace, free of charge, any Vegetable 
or Flower Seeds from which a fair proportion fail to germinate 
in due course, under fair and proper treatment, or which do not 
come true to name. 
I shall not confuse my friends with a long list of six or eight 
hundred varieties of Flower Seeds, but confine myself to about 
two hundred varieties that will be satisfactory to purchaser as 
well as seller. In Vegetable Seeds, I contend that few want 
more than six or eight varieties of Peas, three or four sorts of 
Cabbage or Broccoli, two or three of Carrots, one of Parsnips, 
and so on, and where the list is much increased, it often contains 
names manufactured to suit a particular locality, or selected 
stocks, of old varieties slightly improved under new names. As 
a proof of this, I have often heard of two or three so-called 
varieties of Seeds being taken from the same hag or drawer. 
One gentleman in the trade went so far as to tell me, in his cata¬ 
logue were four varieties of Parsnips, but all were taken from 
one hag. 
TERMS, strictly cash with order from unknown correspon¬ 
dents ; references given if required. 
All Flower Seeds sent post free ; all general Seed Orders over 
10s. carriage paid ; Orders over £3, 5 per cent, discount; Orders 
over £5, 10 per cent, discount. 
My “UNIQUE SEED LIST," entered at Stationers’ Hall and 
Copyright, is the most original and useful List ever published 
for amateurs. It contains only the most select varieties of 
Vegetable and Flower Seeds in cultivation, and gives full cul¬ 
tural directions. This List was sent, post free, to all my Bulb 
friends about the middle of December. To all new applicants 
the price will be 6d., but this may be deducted from the first 
order of 5s. or over. 
Choice Primula, Calceolaria, Carnation, and Picotee 
Seeds will be of a speclally good strain. 
Best white Raffia Fibre, 6d. per pound. 
(Please Mention this Paper.) 
Letter Orders have same care as for my own planting.
