READ CAREFULLY. To plants and their culture we very early became attached. Years ago, when we established our greenhouse busi- ness, the labor and anxiety which were necessarily arduous, were greatly lightened by the love we had for our profes- sion; and, within late years, the increasing weight of the multiplicity of business responsibilities which our ever enlarging trade imposes upon us, is still rendered bearable by that same affection for plants. Our purpose in business is to grow plants for profit, but our inclination, aside from all ideas of pecuniary profit, is to grow them, and grow them well, the newest kinds, and the best kinds whether new or old.
