AVING received many inquiries from those wishing 
to purchase small collections of named varieties of 
Merit, I have concluded to offer two collections, 
made up from varieties which have been thorough* 
ly tested by me for several years and which I can 
highly recommend to the most critical Grower. Some of 
these varieties will not be listed in my 1906 catalogue.
