NOTICE. 


IN again presenting my Serie Gi Catalogue, I do so with much pleasure, having 
added largely by importation of everything new and valuable among the various 
classes. 

I especially offer to the notice of my patrons many extremely rare and beautiful 
plants, suitable for the hot-house and green-house, as well as for bedding out. 

The description of the new plants are those of the parties who sent them out. 

When selections are left to me, the very finest varieties will be sent, and the most 
vigorous plants. 

After over thirty years’ experience in packing and forwarding plants to distant 
countries, I flatter myself I can pack both economically and safely for any distance. 

No charge is made for boxes or packing. 

Single plants, bulbs, &c., will be mailed free; but when ordered by the dozen or 
hundred, the single price or a sufficient amount must be remitted to cover postage. 
On their reception they should be potted and placed in a frame or green-house to 
recover the effects of the journey. To Florists and Nurserymen who wish new 
plants, the mail offers the greatest facility for obtaining such, as they know how to 
care for them on their arrival. Amateurs who have no means of caring for plants 
after a journey through the mail, as well as all persons requiring a considerable 
quantity of plants of a larger size, had better have their orders by express. If left 
to me, I will forward in such way as I deem best for the purchaser. 

In all orders by express, good plants are added in proportion to the value of the 
order or distance. Persons getting up clubs will be liberally rewarded with choice 
plants in proportion to the amount remitted. 

The prices at which some of the new plants are offered, may appear high to 
persons unacquainted with the importation of these articles. For such I have to 
pay high prices in Europe, adding duty, freight, risks, &c., to justify which when 
first offered, the price should be proportionate—though I make it at the lowest 
possible rates, and as stock increases the price is reduced. Older and standard 
varieties are offered at my usual very moderate rates. 

Orders intended for mailing should be accompanied with a remittance, but in 
express orders the purchaser may remit, or the article will be forwarded C.OeD! 
at his option. 

In making out orders, keep plants and seeds separate—it saves us ai time at 
our busy season. 

Write your name plainly; give post-office, county and State, whenever you eee 
no matter how frequently. 

In all letters of inquiry, it is well to leave a blank space between each question 
for an answer, this facilitates a reply in the busy season, when my correspondence 
is very heavy. . 

Please use the order sheet, or in a list apart from the body of the letter. This 
much facilitates business and prevents errors. In making out orders please affix 
prices, that I may know the size of plants required. 

Customers who fail to receive a catalogue in due time, will please inform me of 
the same, that a copy may be sent, as catalogues are frequently lost in the mails. 

I charge for plate with catalogue to applicants who have not previously pur- 
chased, but when, however, orders are subsequently sent, the price of the catalogue 
will be allowed. 

This catalogue annuls prices in all former issues. 

JOHN SAUL.

appearance of being so,

same class. The stem and leaves are clothed throughout their entire length with a thick 
covering of hairs, soft to the touch, and of a beautiful deep violet color, which gives an ap- 
pearance of the richest velvet to the plant. This is more especially the case with young 
leaves, and when combined with the brilliant orange of the flowers, the aspect of the plant is

der.”” Considered the finest of bedding plants. Ready in April, price, 5U cts.

NEW TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONTAS.—Single 
Flowered. 


The following novel and beautiful varieties will be found admirably adapted for the sum- 
mer and autumn decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory ; for they produce in the 
utmost profusion magniticent flowers of very large size, and great variety in color. They do 
not require stove cultivation, but will succeed well in a greenhouse. The tubers rest during 
the winter months, similar to Gloxinias, and can be easily re-started into growth in the 
spring. Their profuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their blossoms, 
render them extremely showy and effective. 

Each, 
Davisii. It is a native of the Andes of Peru. It is of the dwarfest habit, the leaves 
and flowers all springing from the root stock, The scapes, which rise erect above 
an elegant bluish green foliage, are bright red; each scape bears three dazzling

This is certainly the most magnificent vivid Crimson Zonale ever yet sent out, and the 
above engraving conveys but a very inadequate idea of its immense trusses ; color intense and 
brilliant scarlet, considerably darker and more glowing than Jean Sisley; large white eye, 
each pip of fine shape and of great substance, which causes every petal to reflex as soon as 
each bud expands, consequently each flower remains a longer time in perfection than any 
other Zonale; it also has the valuable property of keeping its centre well filled up. The 
color of this variety totally eclipses all other older kinds, and is unquestionably the most 


magnificent crimson scarlet Zonale ever sent out. 15 cents each.

This is an extremely rare shrub even in its native habitat. It is a handsome shrub, the 
flowers being large pure white, with yellow tipped stamens. The leaves are broadly lance 
shaped, of thick texture, with recurved margins; it grows from six feet to fifteen feet in height, 


and is very bushy. One of the most valuable shrubs which have been introduced for years.
