Excerpt from Vick's Illustrated Catalogue of Seeds, and Guide to the Flower Garden: Containing Accurate Descriptions of the Leading Floral Treasures of the World, With Plain and Full Directions for Sowing Seed, Transplanting, and After Culture; Illustrated With Numerous Engravings; Also, Choice Seeds for the Vegetable Garden Again, kind reader, I present you a new edition of my illustrated catalogue and floral guide. I do this with confidence, believing that it will not only prove a welcome visitor, but be adopted as a friend and counselor in all matters relating to owers and their culture. You will find it truthful, I believe, in every particular. This is certainly its aim; and though it may err occasionally, to err is human; and I atter myself its errors are few and far from serious. Its appearance is in keeping with its character - neat, tasteful, and in some respects beautiful. For truthfulness, for beauty, and for real value to the seeker after oral knowledge, it is, I think, without a rival. I know of no work that could be purchased for a dollar, or even more, that would give so much instruction. Its cost is quite considerable, yet it is presented to every one of my customers carried to your own post office - free of charge. All I ask in return is, if you can say a good word to your neighbors in regard to the quality of the seeds I have sent you, truthfully, that you do so. To those who have not dealt with me, and whose names are consequently not found on my books, I make the small charge of ten cents for each copy, which is not one-half the cost. A leading object is to save my customers from the annoying failures so common among those who, while they love owers, have little experience in their culture. This I endeavor to do by furnishing new seeds, of the best quality, and giving all the necessary information for their treatment; hence my Catalogue is not a list of hard names, dry and unmeaning to all but the experienced orist or botanist, but a valuable directory, and a safe guide for the flower garden, one that may be consulted, with profit by all, either in the purchase of seeds or their after treatment. The habits of each variety are clearly stated; the situation for which it is best adapted, both for the perfection of the plant and the beauty of the garden; the season of owering; the distance apart at which the plants should be set; the manner of sowing the seed, transplanting, and all other necessary directions, are given in full with each variety, so that the most inexperienced need not fail. In addition to the descriptions, will be found life-like engravings of many of the most popular and beautiful owers, which, together, can not fail to give a good idea of their character.
