CHARLWOOD S PRICED CATALOGUE OF 



correct their nomenclature by sending for these. One great use of the Arboretum 

 et Fruticetum Britannicum will be, to render the employers of nurserymen, and espe- 

 cially botanical amateurs and ladies, familiar with the correct names of ligneous 

 plants. This will soon create among commercial gardeners a demand for a correct 

 nomenclature, which the nurseryman will supply when he finds it his interest to do 

 so, but not before. 



In the following Catalogues, with one exception, no authorities for the names have 

 been given by the nurserymen who sent them. The practice of affixing the autho- 

 rities is' adopted by all the first nurserymen on the Continent, but is almost always 

 neglected in this country. These Catalogues were prepared before the severe 

 frost of January, 1838, which destroyed many thousands of ligneous plants in 

 British nurseries, and which will probably occasion a temporary rise of price in various 

 articles for a year or two.
