EXHIBITION. 
My Pansies for the present season are now

markably strong and healthy, and, devoting 
as I do considerable time and care to the 
improvement of these flowers, my customers

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.
