A WORD TO PURCHASERS. 
This Catalogue contains the names and description of nearly all the plantsjand 
seeds that are generally sold in this country, which I offer for sale at prices as 
low as good seeds are ever sold. The seeds are from the best known Foreign 
and Domestic seed growers, and I am confident are of as good quality* - as can be 
bought, and if purchasers will carefully follow the directions in this book for 
planting, etc., will in every instance give perfect satisfaction. 
A little money invested in good seeds will give great brilliancy to the flower 
garden. Many people have fallen into the stereotyped way of planting the same 
varieties of seeds from year to year, never taking the trouble even to look at the 
illustrations of the many flowers of which they kno\v nothing. In preparing 
this work, I have taken pains to get faithful illustrations of flowers, the seeds of 
which I offer for sale and have been careful to mention any particular treatment, 
or soil which they require in order that all can grow them successfully. Among 
these cuts will be found many beautiful flowers of the easiest culture, and I ask 
those who intend to favor me with their orders to look carefully through the list 
and see if there are not some varieties new to them which they would like to try. 
SEEDS BY MAIL. 
I will forward all seeds at the prices named in this Catalogue, POSTAGE PAID. 
SEEDS BY EXPRESS. 
Orders of over two pounds weight will be forwarded by Express, if possible, and customers will confer a fa¬
