COLLECTIONS. 
I have put up separate collections of the choicest seeds in neat envelopes, and these are very 
desirable to those who maj^ wish a complete assortment of any particular class of dowers.

Selection of Varieties.—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, unless informed 
of this fact, in some cases articles may be forwarded that are not needed. Those who are com¬ 
mencing the cultivation of flowers will find the collections named below suited to their wants.

No. 1 consists of about thirteen of the most hardy and popular Annuals; No. 2 about twenty 
varieties of hardy popular Annuals, and a few varieties that require a little more care in their 
culture; No. 3 is composed of about twenty varieties of Annuals, and twelve of the best Biennials 
and Perennials; No. 4 contains about twenty-five varieties of Annuals, and about the same num¬ 
ber of Perennials. 
Collections of Vegetables. — Hundreds of my customers prefer leaving the selection of 
Vegetables to me, and at a time when, in consequence of the press of business, I cannot give the 
time needed for a judicious choice. I have, therefore, taken a leisure time to make careful selec¬ 
tions, and will have them put up in readiness for those who may desire.

The very liberal premiums offered to Clubs are included in the above Collections.

FORMATION OF CLUBS. 
The lovers of flowers in any neighborhood may easily club together and send their orders in 
one letter, and thus avail themselves of the deductions I make on large orders. Those who 
desire Catalogues to aid them in the formation of Clubs will be furnished free. For the purpose 
of encouraging the formation of such Clubs, and as a slight compensation for the effort, I make 
the following liberal offer: 
Persons sending $1 may select seeds at Catalogue prices amounting to 
3 
4 
5 
10 
20 
$1 10 
2 25 
3 45 
4 7° 
6 00 
12 50 
26 00 
These 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, as may be desired. 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 always be understood, however, 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, in many 
cases it would bring the price far below cost. Every person who sends us One Dollar or more for 
either Seeds or Bulbs is entitled to the Floral Guide for one year. Persons ordering Seeds 
for Clubs will please furnish Names and Post Office address of those who wish the Guide.
