OUR MANUAL OF EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN is this season the grandest ever issued, containing three colored plates and superb illustrations of everything that is new, useful and rare in Seeds and Plants, together with plain directions of “How to grow them,” by PETER HENDERSON. This Manual, which is a book of 140 pages, we mail to any address on receipt of 25 cents (in stamps.) To all so remitting 25 cents for the Manual, we will, at the same time, send free by mail, in addition, their choice of any one of the the following novelties, the price of either of which is 25 cents: One packet of the new Green and Gold Watermelon or one packet of new Succession Cabbage, or one packet of new Zebra Zinnia, or one packet of Butterfly Pansy (see illustration), or one packet of new Mammoth Verbena, or one plant of the beautiful Moonflower, on the distinct understanding, however, that those ordering will state in what paper they saw this advertisement.

BOTANY CLASSES

furnished with fresh plants and flowers from the Southern Mountains, including all the AZALEAS and RHODODENDRONS found east of the Rockies, I can furnish Rhododendron Vastyi and Shortii galacifolia, and other rare plants. Order Shortii early, as it blooms in March and April.
