are regulated by their absolute cost, and will be lessened as their culture 

 .may be attended with more or less success; many of those of less recent 

 introduction are )iow placed at prices much reduced. An establishment 

 so extensive as this, cannot of course be couductfed without immense dis- 

 bursements, in making which the Proprietors have greatly to rely upon 

 the patronage they may receive in the sale of its productions. It is their 

 desire to introduce every Tree, Shrub, or Plant, which may be useful in 

 the various departments of national industry, as well as those which 

 *;erve to gratify our pleasures alone : and it remains now to be tested, 

 whether the success which shall attend the very extensive importations 

 already nif^^e, will warrant their continuance on the same expensive 

 scale. Comprising, as this garden does, an extent of more than 40 acres, 

 compactly jil'ed; with the very extensive range of Green-Houses, which 

 contain above 20,000 plants in pots; and being surpassed or equalled by 

 few even of those which have received in foreign countries the patronage 

 of royalty, the Proprietors' most anxious desire has been to give to their 

 establishment the character of a JSTational Institution ; and animated 

 by those feelings, which all seem concentrated in the " pride of coun- 

 try,^' they rely on that country to aid in its advancement. 



As many persons in the Union act as agents for different nursery es- 

 tablishments, it is particularly requested, that where orders are intended- 

 for us, it be plainly specified; and every invoice we transmit will have a 

 lariated heading, and our signature, to prove it genuine. We 

 mention these cautions /o;- good'ia$id conclusive reasons, and we par- 

 ticularly enjoin its observance ^ purchasers, as we know we have 

 been injured by deceptions. 



Orders from a distance can be transmitted through an agent or direct
