Linnean Botanic Garden and Nurseries. 



Flushing, near New York, Aug. 25, 1832. 

 WM. PRINCE & Sons wish to acquaint the public that 

 the present being a leisure period, they will with pleasure 

 impart any information touching Horticultural subjects, 

 which may be solicited from them, and will transmit the 

 JVet« Catalogues of their establishment trith the reduced 

 prices, to all applicants. Letters to them it is presumed 

 will be postpaid. The immense extensions made to their 

 nurseries, which now cover near 50 acres, compactly 

 filled, and the concentration theiein of the rarest and 

 choicest productions of foreign climes, have elicited from 

 their fellow citizens an extension of patronage, highly 

 gratifying to their feelings. One point of the utmost im- 

 portance which has particularly engaged their attention, 

 is the critical investigation of all the varieties of fruits, 

 and a strict attention to their accuracy, and their recent 

 publications on this subject contain descriptions so minute, 

 that every person can decide for himself. 



The establishment contains at the present period more 

 ihanamiUion of Trees and Plants, and the proprietors 

 are willing to enter into arrangements of the most liberal 

 description both as to price and credit, with all such per- 

 sons as desire large quantities of Trees, &c ; and with 

 those proprietors of Nurseries who wish to extend their 

 collections, and such other persons as may wish to es- 

 tablish new Nurseries, they will enter into arrange- 

 ments, on terms which will allow ample time for ad- 

 tantageous reimbursement. — Any persons who are desi- 

 rous to act as Agents in towns where no Agency already 

 exists, will please to communicate their views in regard 

 thereto. — Where those who are desirous to send orders 

 Ibr trees are not conversant with their respective qualities, 

 they can consult the " Treatise on Fruits" recently pub- 

 lished in which about 800 varieties are described.

Cardozo Arabian, for Sale. 



THIS entire Horse was imported into Boston, June 

 15lh. 1832, by Messrs R. D. Tucker & Son, in the brig 

 Caroline from Gibraltar, and is of the purest Arabian cast, 

 as will appear by the subjoined certiiicate. This horse 

 is of the largest class of Arabians ; of dapple bay color ; 

 black legs, main, and tail ; and measures fourteen hanils 

 three inches in height; uncommonly large bone ; mus- 

 cles and tendons strongly delineated ; of irrepressible 

 spirits, and perfectly docile. His points, when abstract- 

 edly examined, are in most respects without fault, and 

 collectively they form an animal surpassed by few for 

 symmetry — leaving no doubts on the minds of judges, 

 that be is a true sou of the desert without any collateral 

 admixture. 



.V more particular description of this horse is not deem- 

 ed necessary at this time, as it is presumed no gentleman 

 will purchase so valuable an animal without minutely 

 examining him. 



We the undersigned do hereby certify, that the ches- 

 nut horse, five years old, with a white spot on the fore- 

 heail, was sent from Oran to Consul Cardozo, and that 

 said horse is of the purest Arabian breed. 



In testimony whereof we give the present in Gibraltar, 

 this 3d day of Del Hogia, year of Elgira 1247.

Extract of a letter from Horatio Sprague, Esq, of Gibraltar. 



" This horse was a present to Aaron Cardozo. Esq. 

 Consul General for Ihe Baibary Powers, a talented and 

 wealthy gentleman, who prefers living with the nobility 

 in Portugal to residing in this place. The then governor 

 of Gibraltar, General Sir George Don, made a pioposal 

 to purchase this horse to send to England. 



" As .soon as the nephew of Sen. Cardozo, who is a 

 paiticular friend of mine, residing here, had orders to sell 

 the horse, he imnjedialely made me the offer of purchas- 

 ing him ; and the Caroline with Capt. Gale's kindness, 

 offering a good opportunity, I purchased him, believing 

 his worth to be £500 sterling, to any man, and event- 

 ually of essential service to my native country." 



Application to be made to SAMUEL JAQUES, at the 

 Ten Hills Sloc< Farm, Charlestown, Mass. where the 

 horse may be examined. Aug. 15.
