INTRODUCTION. 
C O those who have received my catalogue heretofore, I am sure no intro¬ 
duction is necessary, but to those who will see it this season for the first 
time I wish to tell you that I started in a small way nearly 20 years ago 
to send out our wild flowers and ferns for cultivation, and it is very gratifying 
to me in looking, over the list to see the names of those who have been my 
patrons from the first, i hope this year may find your name added to the list r 
and you be so well satisfied with the* trial order that 1 may expect to hear from you 
at least once a year. Some kinds, not particular^ desirable, have been taken from 
the list, and others not easily procured, but of which I have been able to get a stock 
by propagating in the nursery, I have added. 
Many of the cultivated species have been added from time to time so that I can 
supply many of the most desirable kinds. 
Ferns have been a prominent feature from the first, and I can supply many fine 
nursery grown specimens. These are perfectly hardy in New England. 
I otter this season a few desirable bedding plants, and if you are in need of any of 
these, give me a trial order. 
IN ORDERING this class of Plants 1 would advise having them sent by express 
(where the distance is not too great), because more care can be taken in packing, 
and I often add extras that would not be sent by mail. Small orders can be sent 
safely by mail, and with my mode of packing are almost sure to reach their destina¬ 
tion, even to Europe, in good condition. 
The prices here named are for free delivery to any part of the United States or 
Canada on Plants suitable for mailing. There are but very few Shrubs in my list 
suitable for mailing. 
T am situated on the line of the New Haven & Northampton division of the N. Y., 
N. II. & H. R. R., 5 miles south of Westfield, Mass., junction of the Boston & Albany 
R. R.; 100 miles west of Boston, and 100 miles north of New York. 
Parties desiring plants in larger quantities than here quoted will please write for 
quotations. 
Do not ask me to send goods C. O. 1)., unless one-third of the amount, to cover 
expenses, is sent with the order. Send all remittances by draft on New York, Bos¬ 
ton, or by Registered Letter, or by Post-Office Honey Order on Southwick, Mass.
