GENERAL REMARKS. 



APPLES. 



cccres. Distant purchasers, and especially those located in the new and rising States of the North and 

 West, should not allow themselves to be duped by gross misrepresentations emanating from inter- 

 ested sources, but should make it an indispensable duty to visit and inspect the Long Island Nur- 

 series to their perfect satisfaction. We append hereto (on the cover) a list of the ten Catalogues, 

 comprising all the departments of our Nurseries, each with prices annexed. 



In consequence of the railroad which connects Flushing with the city of New York being laid 

 2,000 feet through one of our largest Nurseries of fifty acres, we will supply Nurseries and others 

 requiring large numbers of Trees at reduced rates, and on the most liberal terms, as that portion 

 of our lands is required for building lots. We especially suggest to younger Nurseries the import- 

 ance to them of securing genuine warranted fruit Trees of our superior varieties, many of which 

 are not obtainable elsewhere. 



All trees, (fee, are labeled and packed in a superior manner, in matted bales or boxes, so that 

 it is scarcely possible that any can be injured ; and we charge for the packing barely the actual 

 cost. We ship the packages, or send them by Railroad, by the Transportation Lines, or Express 

 Lines, precisely as ordered, and we send the receipt for the packages with the invoice to the pur- 

 chaser, and there is consequently the best security ibv their delivery. After being thus expedited 

 by us, they are at the risk of the purchaser, and the forwarders alone are to be held responsible there- 

 for. Remittances may be made by Check or Draft ; but if Bank Notes are sent they should be for- 

 warded through the United States Express, American Express, or Adams' Express Co's., and the 

 Agent's receipt therefor be sent to us. New York or Eastern Bank Notes are best, as there is a dis- 

 count on Western notes. 



Orders for Trees, &c. — It is indispensable that every order be plainly and regularly made out, 

 naming the edition of the Catalogue selected from, and also that plain directions stating how the 

 packages are to be marked and forwarded should immediately follow the order, and that these be 

 entirely distinct from the letter. It is also necessary to state in the orders for Fruit trees, whether 

 Standards, Pyramids, or Dwarfs are wanted, and on what stock each kind is preferred. AYhen any 

 variation is allowed as to the precise kinds, by substituting others equally good or better, or when the 

 selection of all or part of the varieties is left to us, we will exercise our judgment for the interest 

 of the purchaser ; and we cultivate none but the choicest varieties. If an error of any kind should 

 occur, we desire to be promptly notified, that it maybe rectified at once. 



Specimea Trees. — Whenever single specimen Trees are ordered by any Nurseryman or other per- 

 son, they will be charged at the retail price without discount, the extra time required to make such 

 selections being important to us, and their accuracy of vital importance to the piirchaser. We have 

 never employed any Traveling Agents, and caution the public against a scoundrel who professes to 

 represent the Flushiag Nurseries and has repeatedly stated he acted for us. If we should conclude 

 to employ any Agents, their names will be announced in the Horticulturist; but we much prefer to 

 do our own business by direct correspondence. 



N. B. It seems almost superfluous to remark, that all the Trees and Shrubs in this Catalogue 

 not stated to be tender, are hardy.
