^f color and form. It combines the richest shades and most varied hues 

 of which nature is susceptible, with every diversity in shape and magni- 

 tude, from the size of a small globe an inch and a half in diameter, to an 

 expanded bloom twenty inches in circumference. Most persons are not 

 aware how simple are the means requisite to their preservation in winter. 

 When the frost has destroyed the foliage, nothing more is necessary than 

 to cut off the stalks two to three inches from the ground, and to take np 

 the roots and put them in boxes of dry sand in a cellar, or any other 

 place free from frost, there to remain till spring without further care. 



The collection here offered is unrivalled in extent and beauty, and com- 

 bines the most magnificent varieties of each class ; it being a concentra- 

 tion of the most choice and interesting that could be selected from the 

 five largest establishments of Europe. Other new varieties are continu- 

 lally accumulating, and Supplementary Catalogues containing the addi- 

 tional varieties will be published in March and October of each year. 



The letters annexed to the <3ifferent varieties designate the height to 

 which they usually attain: Thus, A denotes those that do not exceed two 

 feet^B those which attain to between two and three feet — C, three to 

 four feet — D, four to five feet — E, five to sbc feet — F, six to seven feet — 

 G, over seven feet. The nqfes attached to the respective varieties, de- 

 scriptive of their qualities, &c. are the result of the personal examination 

 of the Proprietors, made during the present season. 



A discount will be made to those who purchase largely and to Nurse- 

 ries and other venders. To I hose who order a dozen plants or more, an 

 abatement of 25 per cent will be made from the stated prices which it 

 will be perceived are much lower than usually charged, the great and in- 

 creasing stock enabling us to offer them on these favorable terms, and 

 also to select superior roots.
