CIRCULAR. 



J. HE Proprietor, in offering to the public this Catalogue of the Ameri* 

 can Trees, Shrubs, Plants, and Seeds contained in his establishment— 

 and which are annually exported to the different quarters of the world- 

 avails himself also of the present opportunity to tender his acknowledge, 

 roents to those gentlemen who have politely contributed to his establish- 

 ment, from various countries, and to express his desire to continue, with 

 renewed ardour, his intercourse with all those who have hitherto honoured 

 him with their correspondence; and to receive also the corainunicatiotis of 

 others who may wish to cultivate an intercourse with America in any way 

 connected with Botany or Horticulture. He particularly wishes to extend 

 his intercourse with all the principal Nurseries of Europe, and else- 

 where, on the most liberal principles, and in a manner mutually beneficial 

 and advantageous. Comprising, as this Garden does, an extent of more 

 than thirty acres compactly .filled, and being the source whence large sup- 

 plies are distributed through its Agents, &c to every part of the United 

 States, and to foreign countries; and its collection being surpassed, or even 

 equalled, but by few of those which have received in other countries the 

 patronage of royalty, this establishment may be justly considered as a JVa- 

 tional Institution. 



Those persons who may desire American Trees, Plants, or Seeds, will 

 find the annexed Catalogue by far the most complete, and extensive of its 

 kind, that has ever been offered to the world Several hnndred species 

 which it cont ins are of great rarity, and are found in no other collection 

 in America, nor are yet in those of Europe. Orders for any of the articles 

 enumerated will be executed at the prices annexed to them— where no 

 prices are stated for Seeds, they will be regulated by the plenty or scarcity 

 of the season ; but many species of Seeds are so rare that they can sel- 

 dom be obtained. In such cases it is recommended (hat the Proprietor be 

 authorized to send Plants, when their Seeds cannot be procured, as this 

 course will prevent disappointments. 



The Trees, Plants, and Seeds will be arranged and packed with the 

 greatest care and attention — the long course of years in which the Proprie- 

 tor has pursued this business having furnished him w ilh ample knowledge 

 on this point, so necessary to insure success— and the Seeds will all be fresh 

 and the growth of the year they are sent. The magnitude of this establish- 

 ment (it being so much greater than any other in America, together with 

 its extensive connections in every part of North and South America, and 

 the West Indies) gives it decided advantages in the execution of any de- 

 mands for American Seeds and Plants. In the United States alone, the 

 Proprietor has more than seventy Agencies established in the various Cities 

 and Towns in every section of the country, which serve as well for the
