A few barrels of superior Early Manly Potatos. have been re-

 object to present the imposing display of a great number of 

 the names of indifferent fruit as to keep a choice collection of 

 those sorts, whose excellence is well known and established.

 attention if left with J. U. Nkwell, at the Agricultural Estab- 

 lishment, No 51 North Market street; or with French & Da-

From the palr.iiiage alreaily exiended this Establishment, by 

 the citizens of Boston and Us Viciniiy. the Proprietors are again 

 induced to advertise to them their 'Nurseries, as offering pecu- 

 liar tacilities for the acquirements of usefiji & oniamoiitaT vege- 

 table productions. The collection r.ow cultivated by Iheni, con- 

 sists of an immense variety of Fruit and Hardy Ornamental 

 Trees and Shrubs— Green-house Plants— Mulbous Roots, and 

 Garden Seeds. The assorimeni of Fruits is noi siirp.issed in 

 real value \i\ any in this country. It embraces most of the cel- 

 ebrated kinds of Europe, with all the esteemed vaneiies which 

 liave originated on ihis continent. The utmost care has been 

 observed in m?ikijig; the selection, and the whole is now ofl^'red 

 as containing uone but those most worthy of cultivation. Per- 

 sons not acquainted with the different varieties by name. End 

 desirous to procure choice kinds, by merely stntiiig the time

 almost every variety of Esculent Vegetables for seeding. The 

 method pursued by the Proprietors in this branch, ceriainly

 liable to mix in seeding— in short, the whole process of cultiva- 

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

 erintendence undoubtedly conspires in an eminent degree, to 

 obviate the errors and impositions, unavoidable in a depend- 

 ence ou foreign importations, or on careless or inexperienced 

 growers at home. Orders received by Parker & Codiiian, No.
