Adout the last of August next will be published a little work with the above title. 

 It will contain nearly 150 pages of reading matter, on fine paper and ueat type, and will be 

 very beautifully embellished with eugravingg. I'he publisher has long seen the need of a 

 book of the kind — a hand book for the inexperienced planter — a guide to those about to 

 commence "the formation of orchards or gardens — a work reliable, and so cheap as to be 

 within reach of all. I have often been solicited by nurserymen and others to furnish them 

 such a book, but until the present time have not found it convenient to do so. In fact, every 

 nurserymen has felt the need of just such a book, and for the want of it many have puljlished 

 brief directions in their Catalogues. This want is now to be supplied. 



CONTENTS OF THE BOOK. 



I. Full directions for the preparation of the ground for the Orchard and Garden. 

 I [. Directions for Planting, Pruning, &c. 

 III. Lists of Fruit recommended by the American Pomological Society, and by the State 

 Societies. 

 I V". Notices of Diseases and Insects injurious to fruit. 

 Y. The Vegetable Garden. 

 VI. The Flower Garden. 

 VII. A list of all the Nurserymen in the United States and Canada, and the principal 

 Nurserymen and Wholesale Seedsmen of Europe, with much other valuai)le matter. 



PEICE, 



The price of the book will be 25 Cents each, (postage pre-paid.) .'i?2 per dozen. $12 50 

 per liundred. $00 for 500. The wholesale price i,-: put very low, so that nurserymen may 

 order in large cjuantities, and put them in the hands of their agents and customers. Nursery- 

 men ordering 500 or more can have their name and residence on the cover. Cash must 

 accompany the order. 



ADVEETISEMENTS 



Will be inserted in the back part of the book at .$20 per page. As I have already received 

 orders for over 10,000 copies of this work, which will go into the hands of tree planters, so 

 good and cheap an advertising medium for Nurserymen is not to be found elsewhere. The 

 circulation will undoubtedly exceed 50,000. Those Nurserymen who advertise will have their 

 names in CAPITALS in the Directory, with a note referring to advertisement. (See list.) 

 Advertisemeuts should be sent in immediately. 



KTOSEEYMEN'S CATALOGUES IN THE EUEAL ANNUAL. 



As many nurserymen are ordering large numb^s ,for the purpose of supplying their cus- 

 tomers, and in answer to several inquiries on this subject, I make the following projiosition. 

 I will put the Catalogue of any Nurserymen m the copies of The Kubal An.nual he may 

 order, upon the following terms : $5 per page for any number of pages not less than four, 

 in 500 copies, and ST per page in 1000 copies. By this means Nurserymen can have the 

 Rural Annual and Horticvllural Directory containing their own Descriptive Catalogues, 

 and their names and place of business on the cover, thus connecting it intimately with their 

 business, at a very moderate rate. Thus, 



500 copies Rural Annual, - - .S60 

 4 pages of Catalogue in same, at $5, 20 



1000 copies Rural Annual, - - $120 ■ 

 4 pages Catalogue, at $7, - - - 28 



$148 



Those proposing to advertise sliould remember that their advertisements will appear in all 

 the copies printed, which will probably be not less than 50,000, but the Catalogues will only 

 appear in the copies ordered by themselves. 



Orders should be sent in early, as they will be filled in the order in which they are received.
