Vegetable and 
Plowcr oCGds at the Lowest 
Prices. We feel conf.dent that many Amateur* now 
paying from 25 to 50 per cent, more than we charge 
would If they gave us a trial, find the results equally good 
and they would have the surplus to spend in othe 
directions. We quote below a few specialities. 
Many of our friends and customers having told us that 
ounces of seed were often far more than they required, we 
have lately, for the convenience of those with small 
gardens, put up packets at 2d. and Sd for their con¬ 
venience. We also offer nearly all the Hardy Annual 
Flowers in (liberal) 2d. packets.
