NEW ENGLAND PARiVlER. 



Hid 



Iiave retired from the busy scenes of active life. 

 Man was never made to rust out in idleness. A 

 degree of exercise is as necessary for the p eser- 

 vation of health, both of body and mind, as food. 

 And what e.xercise is more fit for him, who is in 

 the decline of life, than tliat of superintending a 

 well ordered garden ? What more enlivens the 

 sinking mind 7 What more invigorates \\\e feeble 

 frame 'J What is more conducive to a long life ? 



Floriculture is peculiarly calculated for the 

 amusement of youth. It may teach them many 

 important lessons. Let a piece of ground be ap- 

 propn.ited to their use — to improve in such a 

 manner, as their inclinations shall dictate — to cul- 

 tivate such plants as are pleasing to their taste ; 

 and let them receive the proceeds. Let order and 

 neatness pervade their little plantations. Let them 

 be instructed, that nothing valuable is to be ob- 

 tained or preserved without labour, care, and at- 

 tention — th^it as every valuable plant must be de- 

 fended, and every noxious weed removed ; so ev- 

 ery moral virtue must be protected, and every cor- 

 rupt passion and propensity subdued. 



The cultivation of flowers, is an appropriate a- 

 musement for young ladies. It teaches neatness, 

 cultivates a correct taste, and furnishes the mind 

 with many pleasing ideas. The delicate form and 

 features, the mildness and sympathy of disposition, 

 render them fit subjects to raise those transcend- 

 ant beauties of nature, which declare the "per- 

 fections of the Creator's power." The splendid 

 lustre and variejated hues (which bid defiance to 

 the pencil,) of the rose, the lily, the tulip, and a 

 thousand others, harmonize with the fair fostering 

 hand that tends them — with the heart susceptible 

 to the noblest impressions — and with spotless in- 

 nocence. 



£g^ Plant. — This is the only vegetable, iri all 

 our list, that cannot be raised to perfection, with- 

 out the aid of a hotbed ; and whoever will have 

 it, of their own raising, must be at that expense. 



It ouirlit to be made early in March, and kept 

 constantly at a good grovving heat till May, when 

 the plants may be fully exposed to the open air, 

 and about the middle of the month, set out in 

 ro.vs, three feet apart, and two feet distant in the 

 rows Wilson^s Economy.

From the patronage already extended this Establishment, by 

 the citizens of Boston and iis vicinity, the Proprietors are again 

 iinluced to advertise to them their Nurseries, as offering pecu- 

 liar facilities for the acquirements of useful &. ornamental vege- 

 table productions. The collection now cullivaied by them, con- 

 sists of an immense variety of Fruit and Hardy Ornamental 

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

 Garden Seeds. The assortment of Fruits is not surpassed in 

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

 ebrated kinds ot Europe, with ail the esteemed varieties which 

 have originated on this continent. The utmost care has been 

 observed in making the selection, and the whole is now offered 

 as containing none but those most worthy of cultivation. Per- 

 «QfW not acquainted with the different varieties by name, and 

 desirous to procure choice kinds, by merely stating the time 

 they wish thein to ripen, may confidendy refer the rest to the

 subject in the slightest degree. The peparation of those kinds 

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

 tion, in gathering, &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 on tbreign imjiortations, or on careless or inexperienced 

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

 31 Congress St. Boston, of whom priced catalogues of dip whole
