Bcllfounder. 



The Norfolk Irolier. imported July 1822. from England, to slnud 1 

 this season, 1828. ai gW. a.ul »\ the groom— the money ti. be 

 paid to the groom. This celehraied Horse is a briglit bay, with 

 black legs, standing 15 hands high. His .superior blood.syinme- 

 trv, and action, excel every other trotting stallion. He is allow- 

 ed by the best judges in Norfolk, to be the fastest and best bred 

 Horse evei sent out of that county. He has proved himscK a 

 sure foal-geller— and his slock for size and substance are noi to 

 be surpassed. They are selling at the highest prices of any 

 Horses in Norfolk, 'nellfounder was got by tliat well known 

 fast and high formed iroitcr. Old Bellfounder, out of Velociiy— 

 whicli trolled mi ihe Norwich road in 1806 sixteen miles in one 

 liour— and though she broke In times into a gallop, and as often 

 round, won her maich. In 1808 she trotted 28 miles in one hour 

 and forty seven minutes — and has also done many other great 

 performances against time. Bellfounder at five years old trot 

 ted two miles in six minutes— and in the following year was 

 matched for 200 guineas to trot 9 miles in 30 minutes, which he 

 won easily by 22 seconds. His owner shortly after challenged 

 to perform with him 17 1-2 miles in one hour, but was not ac- 

 cepted. He has since never been saddled or matched. Old 

 Bellfounder was a irue descendant from the original blood of 

 the Firc-a-w ays, « hich breed of Horses stands unrivalled, either 

 in this or any other country. Bellfoiinder is strongly recom- 

 mended to the' piiblic, by the' subscriber as combining more use- 

 ful properties than any other Horse in America ; and will stand 

 during the season, at' his stable in Charlestown, where all in- 

 quiries, (post paid) will be attended to.

From the patronage already extended this Establishment, by 

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

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

 liar facilities forihe acquirements of usefiji & ornamental vege- 

 table productions. The collection now cultivated 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 suipassed in 

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

 ebrated kincls of Europe, with all 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- 

 sons not acquainted with the different varieties by name, and 

 desirous to procure choice kinds, by merely stating the time 

 they wish them to ripen, may confidently refer the rest to the 

 proprietors, without a fear of disappointment. 



The Ornamental department is rich in native and exotic 

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

 most of which are calculated for adorning in the winter se.nsons, 

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

 ering Shrubs, and acquisitions are continually making. 



In the portion of ground allotted to Garden Seeds are grown 

 almost every variety of Esculent Vegetables for seeding. The 

 method pursued by the Proprietors in this branch, certainly 

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

 subject in Ihe 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 foreign importations, or on careless or inexperienced 

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

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