RARE OPENING! 



FOESiLMBHUDFlTFM 



A vrell-established and paying wholesale and retail Nur- 

 sery business, situated one mile east of Spring^field, Illinois ; 

 consisting of about 15 acres of a general collection of nursery 

 stock, 5 acres of choice strawberries, 3 acres raspberries, 

 2}6 blackberries and 1 acre currants ; also, 200 bearing Pear 

 trees, 100 bearing Cherry trees, and a choice Apple and 

 Peach orchard. There is also a fine young Vinery of foreign 



f rapes and large beds of Asparagus and Rhubarb. The 

 ouse is a new, elegant two-story brick, containing 12 rooms 

 and large cellars. There is also a large cistern, two never- 

 failing wells, stable, out-houses, &c. The whole includes 4.5 

 acres of the richest land, with a presumed 7 feet vein of the 

 best coal underneath. There are 3 acres of a beautiful lawn, 

 containing the choicest specimens of Evergreens and Orna- 

 mental trees. The demand for small fruits in Springfield is 

 greatly in excess of the supply. The business was estab- 

 lished by me in 1857 and has been most succe-ssfully carried 

 on, and my sole reason for selling is, that I wish to retire, 

 owing to my increasing years. Terms easy, if desired, to 

 suit purchaser. Apply to
