PREMIUMS AND PRESENTS. 
The lovers of flowers in a neighborhood can club together and thus avail themselves of the 
Premiums we offer for large Clubs, as seen below. One or two persons, with a little enter- 
prize, can change the character of a place in a few years by the introduction of Flowers. Those 
who desire our Floral Guide for this purpose shall be furnished free, so that they need not 
injure or lose their own copies.

Persons sending $25.00 may select seeds at Catalogue prices amounting to $26.00, and we will send to the person 
getting up the club $5.00 in cash. 
In addition to the above we will make the following presents, viz: 
With $2.00 or moie sent for seeds, to those requesting, we will send “ Vick's Truant Alphabet" for children. 
With $5.00 sent for seeds, Vick’s Illustrated Monthly Magazine for six months. 
“ 10.00 “ “ “ “ “ “ “ twelve months. 
“ 12.00 “ " Vick’s Flower and Vegetable Garden, revised edition. 
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 person ordering for himself alone. It must be understood that this discount is allowed only on 
Flower and Vegetable Seeds by the packet, and noton seeds by the pound, nor on Bulbs or Plants ; 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 and Presents, we forward in December, each year, to every customer, our 
Floral Guide, containing descriptions of about all Flowers and Vegetables worthy of cultivation. In sending 
Clubs, it is therefore necessary to give the names of the persons of which they arc composed, with Post Offices, 
so that we may be enabled to forward them the Guide. 
In August we publish a Catalogue containing a list of Bulbs for Autumn planting and for flowering in the house 
in winter: and also a list of house plants, which we forward to those of owr customers who 
purchased Kulbs of us the previous Fall, ami to any one who will send a Postal 
Card with name ami Post Otlice. 
COLLECTIONS OF FLOWER SEEDS. 
We have put up separate collections of the choicest seeds in neat envelopes, and these are veiy

COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
•Hundreds of our customers prefer leaving the selection of Vegetables to us, and at a season 
when, in consequence of the press of business, we cannot give the time needed for a judicious 
choice. We have, therefore, taken a leisure time to make careful selections, and will have them 
put up in readiness for those who may desire.
