Landreth^s JVurserits — J\/'iar I'hiUidclphia. 



From the pnlnmage already extended tli* Establishment, by 

 the citizens ol Boston and its vicinily, the Proprietors are agaiii 

 induced to iidvehiso to them their Nurseri.;», as offering pecu- 

 liar facilities for the actiuirements of useful iS, ornamcnlal vego- 

 table productions. The loileclion now cullnalcil b^ lliem, con- 

 sists of an immense variety of Fruit and Hardy Ornamental 

 Trees and Shrubs— Green house Plants— 1 -ulbous Roots, and 

 Garden Seeds. The assortment of Fruits is not surpassed in 

 real value b\ any In this country. Ii crobiMes most of the cel- 

 ebrated kinds ol Europe, with all the esici-med \ arieties which 

 have originated on this eoiitineni. The n:mosi care has been 

 observed in making the selection, anil the ^^■hole is now offered 

 as containing none but those most worthy , i cullivaiiou. Per- 

 .sons not acquainted with the different \aiieiies bv name, and 

 desirous to procure choice kinds, by merely sl'itmg the time 

 they wish them to ripen, may confidentl} reler the rest to the 

 proprietors, without a tear of dsappoiiitnieui. 



'rhe Ornamental department is rich in native and exotic 

 Plants— it contains a splendid collection of Green-house Plants, 

 most of which are calculated lor adorning in the winter seasons, 

 parlours, sitting-rooms, &c. with an assoriiiienl of Hardy Flow- 

 ering Shrubs, and acquisitions are eontinuilly making. 



In the portion of ground allotted to GaiHen .Seeds are grown 

 almost every variety of Esculent Vegetables for seeding. The 

 method pursued by the Proprietoir in :his branch, certainly 

 must obtain for them a preference withs all who will consider the 

 subject in the slightest degree. The epuration of those kinds 

 lial'Ie to mix in seeding— in short, the whole process of cultiva- 

 tion, in gathering, tfcc. all being under their own personal sup- 

 ei'itiendence uiKloubtedty conspires in an eminent degree, to 

 obiinte the errors and im|)Ositions, unavoidable in a .ilepend- 

 enee on foreign importations, or on careless or inexperienced 

 growers at home. Orders received bv Parker &l Codnian, No. 

 31 Congress-St. Boston, of whom priced catalogues ef the whole
