FORMATION OF CLUBS. 
The lovers of flowers in a neighborhood can club together and send their orders in one 
letter, and thus avail themselves of the deductions on large clubs. One or two in any place, 
by a little exertion, can persuade many who never before cultivated a flower, to allow a few 
papers to be ordered for them, and in this way we have known large clubs to be formed in 
most unpromising neighborhoods, and a beginning made which, in a few years, entirely changed 
the appearance of the whole place. Those who desire Catalogues to aid theiji in the formation 
of such Clubs will be furnished free. For the purpose of aiding our friends in this good 
work, and as a slight compensation for the trouble, I offer the following liberal Premiums, and 
to give all a chance to earn a few seeds we commence at One Dollar , giving a premium of ten 
cents on the first dollar : 
Persons sending £i may select seeds at Catalogue prices amounting to.10

Instead of the Premium in Seeds, all who prefer can have a copy of our Illustrated 
Magazine for every Five Dollars forwarded, or one of our $1.50 Chromos for Six Dollars. 
The seeds will be put up together and sent to one address, or in separate packages, and mailed 
to the address of each individual forming the club. In all cases the postage will be prepaid. The 
same deduction will, of course, be made to any one person ordering for himself alone. It must 
be understood that this discount is allowed only on Flower and Vegetable Seeds by the 
packet, and not on seeds by the ounce or pound, nor on Bulbs ; nor can we pay this discount 
in Bulbs, or seeds by the pound. Otherwise, it would bring the price far below cost. 
In addition to these Premiums we forward Two Illustrated Catalogues each year to 
every customer; one in December, containing descriptions of about all Flowers and Vegetables 
worthy of cultivation, and another in September, containing a list of Bulft^ especially fitted 
for Autumn planting and for flowering, in the house during the winter. In forwarding Clubs, 
it is therefore necessary to give the names of the persons of which it is composed, with their 
Post-offices, so we may He able to forward them the Catalogues. 
OUR OWN CHOICE SELECTIONS. 
COLLECTIONS OF FLOWER SEEDS. 
I have put up separate collections of the choicest seeds in neat envelopes, and these are very 
desirable to those who may wish a complete assortment of any particular class of flowers.

Some prefer to leave the selection of varieties to me; and in cases where purchasers are 
entirely unacquainted with the different varieties of flowers, this may be the better plan. Those 
who do so, should state what they have already, if any; for, unlesp informed of this fact, in some 
cases articles may be forwarded that are not needed. Those who are commencing the cultiva¬ 
tion of flowers will find the collections named below suited to their wants.
