NOTICE.
Several of the CAMELLIAS in this Catalogue are from four to ten feet high, and fifteen to twenty years old. They were all raised without fire heat, and will withstand the cold below the freezing point, which renders them particularly suitable for parlours.
The DAHLIAS are from Chauviere, of Paris, the best cultivator in France, who annually receives all the new varieties from every part of Europe; and this collection comprises all the best sorts which he sold th last season from 2 to 10 francs each. The eyes of nearly every root. can be divided, so as to give from two to five plants each, particularly Pg brought forward in an exhausted frame, or hot bed.
The few BULBS that are offered for sale are of the best varieties, and are very desirable. €
