 grafted, if you want an abundant bloom, and a liandsonioly fornieil tree;. 



Vir<iilia lutea. We were not a little jileased to find this, our long-establislied favorite, 

 plenty liere, although small. Let no one who plants, and who has it not, allow the oppor- 

 tunity to escape. 



MaijiivUa loiu/ifolia, a plant greatly resembling the glauca, and valuable as a variety.

J^inus excelsa, perfectly hardy, and very beautiful. 



Abies lasiocarpa, very similar to Nobilis, and from California.

This list wc might greatly enlarge, but we forl)ear, as the catalogue is largely 

 distributed, and we have no wish that any of these hasty sketches should assume 

 the character of an advertisement ; in the present case, we had to seek, personally, 

 the information we are able to give, and to make an exertion, after great fatigue, 

 to procure even our meagre outline. Many of tl?^ rare varieties are kept more for 

 the interest attaching to them, there being no demand, at the high European prices, 

 to warrant large importations. 



T/te Residence of J. A. Perry, Esq., at Bay Ridge, Long Island, on the road 

 to Fort Hamilton, presents some of the finest views of Mew York Bay and tlie 

 surrounding scenery ; the place has great capabilities, and Mr. Perry is develop- 

 ing them rapidly ; no one possesses a finer appreciation of the ornamental and 

 beautiful than Mr. Perry, as is evidenced by his former splendid residence in 

 Brooklyn, by his improvements at Greenwood Cemetery, and now at Bay Kidge. 

 New York and the country is indebted to Mr. Perry for the very existence, no 

 less than the present improvements of Greenwood Cemetery, which he presides 

 over with an affection and care that cannot be too much praised. In due time 

 liis exertions in this quarter will be fully appreciated, as they are already by those 

 who seek to know to whom they are so largely indebted. 



With this number we close, for the present, our visits "Around Xew York." 

 The ensuing numbers will contain brief remarks on places in the neighborhood of 

 Boston, Newport, Baltimore, Philadelphia, &c. &c.
