Flushing, near New- York, 
William Prince & Sons, Proprietors. 

It will be perceived that numerous and splendid acquisitions have been made to 
the Greenhouse department, and great perspicuity and attention have been exercis- 
ed in selecting the most interesting and beautiful. In accomplishing this, the lead- 
ing object of the Proprietors has always been rather to enrich and aggrandize his es- 
tablishment, than to be guided by mere pecuniary considerations; very many of the 
plants having been purchased atanexpense of from four to five guineas each. In 
rare and vaiuablej productions from every quarter of the world, and especially 
from China and Japan, this collection is particularly rich and interesting. 
The prices have been greatly reduced, and are as low er lower than the same ar- 
ticles equally genuine, and of equal quality, can be obtained for elsewhere. 
Many species of plants arranged in other catalogues as Greenhouse Plants, having 
been found by experience sufficiently hardy to support our winteis, are omitted in 
this Catalogue, but will be found under their respective headsin the Catalogue of 
Hardy Trees, Shrubs, &c. from pages 45to 88 inclusive. 
Those checked thus * though generally cultivated as greenhouse plants, will | 
when well grown, stand the winters of the middle Statesin the open air, and a large 
proportion of the others will support the winters of the Southern States. 
- Nearly all the following will thrive inacomfortable sitting room during the win- 
ter—they are in pots or boxes, and the prices are inclusive.
