FRUITS EXHIBITED. . 



Saturilay, Dec. 6. 



Passe Colmar and Lewis Pears, (natives,) by E. Vose, 

 Esq. Tlie Passe Colmar were in a most excellent state 

 of preservation, and were the finest specimens by far we 

 have ever seen — not having the dry, shrivelled appear- 

 ance that they have generally had, when heretofore ex- 

 hibited. This, Mr. Vose informed us, was owing to their 

 having been kept in a cool dry room, rather than in a 

 warm one, which, being picked in a green state, causes 

 them to ripen prenjaturely . The Lewis pear may be 

 considered very good. 



From Mr. W. Oliver— Brown St. Germain. This 

 pear has very much the appearance of the Foxley, sent 

 by Mr. Lowell a week or two since.

CATALOGUE FOll 1Sj5. 



Just published, a Catalogue of Ihe NEW 

 ENGLAKD SEED ANU .\GRICULTURAL 

 \V'.A.KE HOUSE — comprising an unusual choice 

 colleclion ol Garden and Flowej Seeds, raised 

 in the Gardens connected witli ihe E»iablishnienl. 

 Tlie loKowin^ from Ihe preface explains the principles in 

 reference lu which the business will ho coiiducied. 



When Uie Agricidlural Warehouse and New England Seed 

 Store was commenced, it was allogeiher problematical whether 

 those eiig^yed in the dilferent branches of rural economy would 

 give support to such an establishment, and the proprietors in- 

 iiurred very considerable expense, as well as bestowed much 

 iirne a.ul^e.xcrtiou to make ii what the Fanners and Gardeners 

 ol New Eiiiflaud very much needed, to wii, a Repositorv from 

 which could be obtained Seeds, &c. which might be rel'ied on 

 IS true lo their kind and of the best qualitv. The experience 

 »nd experiments of a series of years, cnalile us now to give 

 issurance of salisfaclion to those who mav commence or will 

 jontinue their patronage. We have completed our anticipated 

 irraiigemenis in the seed department in such a manner Uiat we 

 ire well assured of a full supply of seeds, raised under cur own 

 direction. We are thus placed in a condition to supply seeds. 

 )1 warranted good quality; and arrangements liave been made 

 o import from Europe ihose kinds which bid laire.it to be most 

 iselul. best adapted lo nor .sc'l and rli,v..ilc, and ■..,<. tvhich reli- 

 iQce can be placed thai with proper treatment they will not fail 

 ,0 germinate. 



Ti a business of this description, il cannot be expected but 

 hat complaints will sometimes be made of seeds not vegetatino- • 

 >ut candid men will allow Ihal the fault is not always in Ihe' 

 :eed. 'I'lie best seed may fail of coming up, on several accounts • 

 ome kinds may be sown too early, and be chilled in the ground' 

 u dry seasons, by the burning rays of the sun — thcv are often 

 :alen by worms and insects, and are frequenilj- covered too 

 leep III the earih, particularly delicate flower seeds. The best 

 nelhod of proving the quality of the seed is to sow a few in a 

 lox of loose earth, placed in a warm room, keeping the earth 

 noist. II the seed is good, it will vegetate in a^reasonable 

 ime. A quicker method is to roll up a Tew seeds in a quantity 

 if uit^ muss, which will soon determine their character. 



It was long before the business would warrant the expenses 

 low iiicnrring; and il is fur the public to decide lo what extent 

 hey will give their patronage lo an establishment conducted 

 in the principles, enjoying Ihe advantages, and favored with 

 he prospects above ineniioiied. 



This Catalogue contains 80 pages ; will be sent Gratis lo 

 lealers. patrons and friends of Ihe Eslablislimenl, and Ordkus 

 or articles contained therein will meet wiih prompt and faithful 

 itlention. ^ GEO. C. liARliETT,
