OHOICE FRUIT TREES! 



ROCHESTER COMMERCIAL NURSERY, MAIN St., 



ONE MILE EAST OF THE COURT HOUSE, RoCHESTEK, N. Y. 



Office No. 1 Arcade Hall. 



The Subscribers offer for sale, this Autumn 

 and the coming Spring, a large quantity of FRUIT TREES, 

 comprising the choicost assortment of APPLES, APRI- 

 COTS, CHERRIES, NECTARINES, PEACHES, 

 PEARS, PLUMS, 4-c., 4-r., very thrifty and healthy; 

 and warraitted to be of the kinds repres^^rtffd. 



TO THE FARMERS. 



We have now on hand of APPLET TREES, large enough 

 for transplanting to the Orchard, more than all the oth- 

 er Nurserymen in Rochester, and can therefore ofler 

 gTcater inducements to purchasers by giving them a selec- 

 tion from such a great number. 



Trees grown in this vicinity, are generally more healthy 

 and less infected with insects than those obtained from any 

 other quarter, besides being more hardy. 



We do not intend to cultivate any fruits but those of 

 acknowledged superiority, and every variety named in our 

 Catalogue may be depended upon as being first rate, ex- 

 cept when otherwise noted. Persons unacquainted with 

 ■ the character of the different varieties, may leave their se- 

 lection to us, and depend upon receiving the choicest kinds 

 ripening in succession. 



Trees delivered in any part of the city free of expense. 

 When packed so as to insure safe carriage to almost any 

 distance a small charge will be made to cover the expense. 



Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompa- 

 nied by a remittance, or a city reference. Catalogues fur- 

 nished gratis, and cheerful and prompt attention given to 

 all jrost paid letters requesting information. 



Ornamental Trees and Shrubs furnished from our own 

 Nursery ; and where we cannot fdl the order, we will buy 

 of our neighbors and sell at their prices. 



As we anticipate a large sale this season, purchasers will 

 please bear in mind that the earliest orders are always entitled 

 to the preference, and will, of course, be better filled than 

 later ones. 



We are happy, at all times, to receive calls from any per- 

 sons interested in the culture of fruit ; and for our trees, 

 challenge compariso?i with any grown here or elsewhere. 



Scions furnished to those who wish to graft for them- 

 selves or others. 



Prices as moderate as those of any other establishment, 

 and a liberal discount made to those who buy to sell again.
