0 those who have received my catalogue heretofore, I am sure no in¬ 
troduction is necessary, but to those who will see it this season for the 
first time I wish to tell you tliaf 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, 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 par¬ 
ticularly 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, 1 have added. 
The cultivated species have been added from time to time, so that 1 can supply 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 most superb new Lily of the Valley, “Miellez/s Revelation,’' 
and a new hardy carnation. 
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 arp 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. 
I am situated on the line of the New Ilaven & Northampton division of the N. V.. 
N. H. & II. R. 1L, 5 miles south of Westfield, Mass., junction of the P>oston & 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 Money Order on South wick, Mass. 
Address all communications to 
EDWARD GILLETT, Southwick, Mass.
