The prices are much reduced from last year's list, and those that are new and very superb, are quoted at moderate rates-will be warranted as represented in the catalogue-the plants strong and vigorous, fit to turn into the ground, and ready for delivery the middle of May, carefully packed for exportation to any part of the United States, directions on catalogue. Those who wish to secure some of the more rare kinds, will please make early application, as many are already engaged-an edition is printed on a letter sheet which will be forwarded to applicants by mail.
