PREFACE 



In presenting this edition of my Fruit Tree Catalogue to the public, I 

 would observe many additions have been made to the various classes of 

 Fruits, so as to include every novelty of merit, with all the well tested 

 varieties. — 



My attention is constantly devoted to every phase of the business, with 

 which I am practically conversant. Every care has been taken in obtain- 

 ing fruits trees correct to name from the most reliable sources in this country 

 and Europe; and*asall are grown under my personal supervision, I feel 

 confident that the nomenclature is as near perfect as possible. The soil 

 of the nurseries being new and fresh, and admirably adapted for tbe 

 growth of trees and diflFusion of roots, the trees are of the most vigorous 

 and healthy description. Those varieties of Apple, Pear, Peach &c., 

 suitable for the middle, Southern, and Southwestern States, are extensively 

 propagated; it being well known that many varieties, especially of the 

 two former, which succeed well in the Northern States, do not retain their 

 good qualities farther South. 



I shall be most happy to select for my patrons, when such is their 

 wish the most desirable varieties of Fruit Trees for any soils localities or 

 latitudes. 



Packing is executed in a thorough and careful way, and by which thr'y 

 will go to the most distant parts of the JJnited States or Europe with 

 perfect safety; for which a charge is made sufficient to cover the expense. 

 No charge is made for the delivery of goods in the city. 



Parties ordering should particularly state the route or conveyance they 

 wish the goods forwarded by; omiiting to do this, they will be forwarded 

 by the best known route; but I wish it to be understood, I assume no 

 responsibility, after they are delivered to the forwarders. 



I employ no Agents or Pedlars, and cannot be answerable for any 

 articles unless had direct from my establishment. — 



The terms of payment must invariably be cash.
