In this Priced Catalogue will be found almost every variety of Seeds and Bulks worthy 
•of culture, and of the very choicest quality. These we keep on hand, and can supply them to 
our customers at all seasonable times. The prices are as low as good, reliable articles can be 
furnished by any one, while the quality of what we furnish we feel quite sure will gratify 
all. We do not propose to sound our own praise, as our customers and their gardens do this 
more effectually than we could do, had we the disposition to engage in this unnecessary and 
ungracious work. All that we desire to say is that we have spared neither time, nor expense, nor 
labor, either of body or mind, to obtain the best the world produces — just such as we would be 
willing to plant in our own grounds or furnish to Gen. Grant or Queen Victoria, or to the 
poor widow or little child who send us their little savings for the purchase of a few seeds. 
The different Classes of Flowers are arranged under appropriate headings, such as 
Annuals, Perennials, Everlastings, Climbers, Vegetables, &c., so that there will be 
no difficulty in finding anything that maybe desired. Reference is made to the page in VICK’S 
FLOWER AND VEGETABLE GARDEN, where full descriptions of each article are 
to be found, and the mode of culture explained. Our Flower and Vegetable Garden 
we think the most beautiful and useful and popular standard work on the subject in the 
world, and so cheap as to be within the means of everybody, as we furnish it at 35 cents in 
paper covers, and 65 cents in cloth. 
In addition to the valuable matter of this work, it contains hundreds of Illustrations and 
Four Colored Plates, a group of Annuals and Bouquets of Perennials , Hardy Bulbs and 
Tender Bulbs. 
By these methods we furnish the facts necessary to successful culture; at least, we design to 
do so, but questions continually arise that cannot be anticipated or answered in a book. Some 
thing fails to grow in a very unaccountublc manner, destructive and unknown insects appear 
in a very unexpected season, and at a very unseasonable time; information is needed at once 
by some inexperienced cultivator, and, of course, there is no time for delay — so we publish a 
Quarterly, in which we answer all these questions, and without much delay. We call it 
VICK’S FLORAL GUIDE, and furnish it for 25 cents a year. To all customers who trade 
with us to the amount of One Dollar or more we give it for a year free, and those who pay for 
the Guide and afterward order seeds can deduct the money sent for the Guide from their 
remittance for Seeds or Bulbs.
