WM. PRINCE & SONS, in offering their JVew Cata- 

 logues with reduced prices, desire to stale that their Fruit 

 Trees are of large &ize and vigorous growth, and cannot 

 fail to give pel feet sa(isfac(ion by their superiority. They 

 are therefore well calculated to repair in part the losses 

 occasioned by the last severe winter. Ornnmental Trees 

 anl Shrubs, can also be supplied of the l.irgest size, and 

 thi collection of Herbaceous Flowering Plants, is a con- 

 cetlration of the beaulilul and interesting, and unrivalled 

 in "xtent. The colleciion of Buses has been made an 

 object of great attention, and comprises above 600 splen- 

 di( varieties ; 100 of which are Chinese and other 

 M«nlhly Roses. The Red Moss Roses, as well as others, 

 art strong and vigorous, and the whole are put at very 

 lot-' prices. The assortment of Peonies, includes not 

 only those found in Europe, but also many others im- 

 poted direct from China, or originateil by ourselves. 

 01 the Chinese Mulberry, or Morus multicaulis, (here 

 an several thousand thrifty trees of good size, and the 



priie is reduced to .f 65,00 per 100, — $35,00 for 50, 



$900 per dozen, or $5,00 per half dozen. OftheZ»oAKa, 

 thi collection is particularly brilliant, and comprises above 

 30< varieties, the most choice that could be selected from 

 thi five largest collections of Euiope, and the great stock 

 on hand, enables us to^x the prices very low. 



Many of the Flowering Shrubs and Roses are so large, 

 th;t several plants may be readily propagated from one, 

 thi finest specimens being selected for orders from the 

 gr^at stock on hand. Where anumber of Roses, Paionies, 

 ard D.ihlias, are de-ired, a considerable discount will be 

 nnde. Of Grape Vines, about 80,000 are now ready 

 foi delivery, combining all the choicest Table and Wine 

 Gripes, among which, there is a large number of the 

 faiious Syrian grape, and many thousand of the Isabella 

 am Catawba, at reduced prices by the 100 or 1000. Of 

 the Camellia Japonica, or Japan Rose, about 100 varie- 

 ties have been greatly increased ; and these, and other 

 Grien House Plants, are now offered at such low prices, 

 thit this can no longer form an objection. Catalogues 

 wil be sent to every applicant, and as every invoice of 

 Trees, &c, has their printed heading and signature, i; 

 is jjarticularly enjoined on all who ilo not apply direct, to 

 i/i,sist on the above proof of origin, without which no 

 >tticles are guaranlccd. Those persons who are not 

 conversant with the diffeient varieties of fruit, can obtain 

 Ihe Treatise on Fruits, which contains descriptions of 

 about 800 varieties, and the Treatises on the Vine and on 

 Horticulture, fiom Lord & Holbrook, and other venders 

 in Boston ; and the best course for persons at a distance, 

 is t" call on their local bookseller to send (or them. The 

 venders of Gaiden Seeds who desire quantities imported 

 from Euiope, suitable for retailing, can be fiirnished with 

 a Catalogue containing the low price at which we will 

 import them. A credit will be given where desired, 

 and every communication will meet wilh prompt at- 

 tention and the accustomed despatch.
