yo Dur PATRONS,

With the presentation of the Third Annual Catalogue
- from Kelvyn Garden, the subscriber returns his thanks to
the public for the liberal patronage of the past year, and
would state that the stock of Plants, in all departments, has
been largely augumented, in number and variety. Our
determination is, in every case, to satisfy the purchaser as
to the quality of the goods supplied, and the reasonableness
ofthe charges. The Chatham Rail Road is now open near
to Pittsboro’, and daily mail and express facilities have
been supplied, since the last Spring trade, so that all orders
will receive prompt attention. J

The Bulbs are now in hand, and of the finest quality of
this season’s growth, in Holland, which has been unusually
favorable. They are not the refuse bulbs, brought to this
eountry as emigrants’ luggage, and sold cheap by the case,
in New York, but they are the finest products of the Harlem
florists. In the list, will be found some new and rare varie-
ties.

We supply all the choicest ornamental Shrubs and Trees,
Roses, Vines, Hardy Border Plants (many new and beauti-
ful kinds of these,) Green-house and Hot-house Plants,
Hedge Plants, Flower Seeds, &c.

We introduce this season various beautiful and rare Ever-
greens, obtained through the Collector for the Experimental
Garden and Conservatory of the United States, in his recent
foreign tour, some of them are especially for Cemetery
Planting.

Attention is called to the following points:

4 KELVYN GARDEN CATALOGUE.

1. Trees, &c., furnished at any time from October 25 te
May 15, except during a short season in January. Bulbs at
all times when in season. Plants in pots at any time—also
small evergreens in pots.

2. Terms cash, for orders under fifty dollars. Large or-
ders will be liberally treated, and time given, upon satis-
factory references.

3. We pack with care, charges for the same being only
actual cost. After delivery to the Rail Road or Express,
we are not responsible for delay by the forwarders. But
any article forwarded by mail will be promptly replaced, if
it fails to reach the buyer. Where selections of varieties are
left to us, the purchaser will find it to his advantage. Plants
sent out shall be healthy and strong, but we do not guar-
antee their success, because we have no control of their
planting and management. |

4. Please inform us of the arrival and condition of all or-
ders sent out, as we desire all to be thoroughly satisfied.

Please remit by money order or registered letter. Seeds,
Bulbs and most small Plants will be sent by mail free of
postage. All letters answered by return mail. Send dupli-
cate order be prevent delay if the first letter is not prompt-
ly answered. Order anything you wish, whether on the list

the plants, see references. Time saved, is everything to
perishable plants, and we can now forward daily. Floral
Decorations, Crosses, Wreaths, &c., promptly supplied.

These superb flowers can be grown by any one, with trif-
ling care. Plant in open ground, or pot, or in a glass, fill-
ed with water. Forout-door planting, dig the soil two feet
deep, add two inches cow-manure and some sand; plant
nine inches apart, and one foot between rows, on a dry day,
covering with three inches of earth. If potted, putins
dark place, or bury in ashes to start the roots before the
crown, and place in the light when the roots reach the bo®
tom ofthe pot. They will also grow well, planted in moss,
without any earth. From hundreds of sorts, we have select-
ed the following distinct and beautiful varieties. Order
-early, before the stock is broken.

Many of the rarer Evergreens are pot-grown, to insure
safety in transplanting. They are packed with care. Keep
the roots damp until planted. Do not use fresh manure.
Deep planting wiil kill the plant. Shade for a few days,
and plant with Northern exposure, where practicable.
Selections made up for five, ten, twenty and fifty dollars,
at special rates. Correspondence invited from gentlemen
who are planting their grounds. The advantages of pur-
chasing Evergreens at home areundoubted. They can only
be moved long distances at special seasons. Do not con-
found the costly sorts with common plants. We send the
cheap kinds at lower rates than those of any Southern cata-
logue, and heavy Northern freights are saved.
