CATALOGUE, 



&c. &c. 



%* Previous to the commencement of our Catalogue, 

 it may be necessary to remind the reader, that the 

 directions which follow, are founded on the results of 

 practical experience in the vicinity of NEW-YORK Cm, 

 where the soil is generally susceptible of gardening ope- 

 rations towards the end of March. These directions may, 

 however, be applied to all other parts of the UNITED STATES, 

 by a minute observance of the difference in temperature. 



In the extreme northern parts of the State of New- York, 

 as well as in all other places similarly situated, the direc- 

 tions for the beginning of April may apply to the latter end 

 of the same month, with very few exceptions. 



In our SOUTHERN STATES, the directions for APRIL, 

 which may be considered as the first gardening month in the 

 EASTERN, WESTERN and MIDDLE STATES, will apply to 

 January, February, or to whatever season gardening ope- 

 rations may commence in the respective States. 



In the varied climates of each particular State, if the 

 same rule of application be pursued to the end of the 

 Calendar, success is certain.
