SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 
or 
CHOICE FRENCH AND GERMAN FLOWER-SEEDS. 
We respectfully Invite attention to the following collections, which arc recommended to 
those who prefer separate colors or varieties of any particular class of flowers. Many 
of these collections have been put up expressly for us by the most celebrated flower-seed 
growers in Europe; while others have been selected from the choicest flowers of our own 
cultivation; and we do not hesitate to recommend them as equal in excellence to any that 
can be obtained. Our French Asters and Double Zinnias received the first prize at the 
exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society the past season, 1871.
