 ING COMMITTEE of the PENNSYLVANIA HOR- 

 TICULTURAL SOCIETY;" approved and ordered to

'• Landrefh's Nurseries and Gardens. 



"These extensive grounds are on Federal street 

 near the Arsenal. ***** xhe earliest collec- 

 tion of Camellias was made here. Some of those 

 now in the possession of these distinguished nursery' 

 men, are ten feet high. ***** xhe selection 

 of GREENHOUSE PLANTS is Valuable and extensive. * * 



" The NURSERIES are all very correctly managed, 

 supplying every part of the Union; a detail of which 

 would occupy too much of our space; we therefore 

 content ourselves with stating that the stock is very 

 large, and in every stage of growth, consisting of 



Forest and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, 

 Evergreens, Vines and Creepers, 



with a collection of herbaceous plants; Fruit TYees of 

 the best kind and viost healthy condition; large i)eds of 

 seedling apples, pears, plums, &c., as stocks for bud- 

 ding and grafting ; a plan very superior to that of work- 

 ing upon suckers, which carry with them into the graft 

 all the diseases of the parent stock. ***** 



GARDEN SEEDS 



of the finest quality have been scattered over the coun- 

 try from these grounds, and may always be depended 

 upon. The seed establishment of these Horticul. 

 TORTSTS is one of the most extensive in the Union, and 

 its reputation is well sustained from year to year. 



"To obviate the cliance of mixture of the farina of 

 the plants of the same family, they have established 

 another nursery, at a suitable distance, so that degene. 

 ration cannot take place, and which secures to the 

 purchasers ' a genuine article.' Knowing thus the age, 

 quality, and process of culture of every plant, the sup- 

 ply from their grounds is recommended with great confi- 

 dence." 



*»* Since the date of the " Report" from which the 

 above is abstracted, the entire establishment has 

 been breatly enlarged. The collection of Camellias 

 embraces all the finer kinds, and consists of some 

 tiiousands of various sizes; so likewise of Roses, andi 



other desirable plants, both tender and liardy— Fruit 

 Troes, &.C. 



The Seed Gardens alone, cover fifty acjes, and the 

 whole is, as it has been for more than halj a century, 

 under the successive management of fathei and son, 

 the most prominent in America. 



Orders for Trees, Plants, &c., in all their variety,
