EXHIBITION. 
My Parties for the present season are now 
ready for sending out. The plants are re¬ 
markably strong and healthy, and, devoting 
as I do considerable time and care to the 
improvement of these flowers, my customers 
may rely upon receiving none but th.0 
best. It is my aim now, considering the 
numberless varieties put into commerce, not 
to offer a Collection of Plants, but a 
Selection of the really first-rate and most 
highly deserving in their respective classes, 
and such as are worthy of a place in every 
collection. 
Catalogues free on application.
