It will be perceived that numerous and splendid acquisitions have been made to the Green 

 louse department, and great perspicuity and attention have been exercised in selecting thi 

 most interesting and beautiful. In accomplishing this, the leading object of the Proprietoi 

 ias always been rather to enrich and aggrandize his establishment, than to be guided bv 

 mere pecuniary considerations; very many of the plants having been purchased at an ex- 

 pense of from four to five guineas each. In rare and valuable productions from every 

 quarter of the world, and especially from China and Japan, this collection 13 particularfv 

 iieh and interesting. 



The prices have been greatly reduced, and are as low or lower than the same articles 

 equally genuine, and of equal quality, can be obtained for elsewhere. 



Many species of plants arranged iu other Catalogues as Greenhouse Plants, having been 

 bund by experience sufficiently hardy to support our winters, are omitted in this Cata- 

 logue, but will be found under their respective heads in the Catalogue of Hardy Shrubs, dtc 

 rem page 38 to 84 inclusive. 



Those checked lhu3 * though generally cultivated as greenhouse plants, will, when wel* 

 ♦ rown, stand the winters of the Middle States in the open air, and a large proportion of (fee 

 others will support the winters of the Southern Stales. 



Nearly all the following will thrive in a comfortable sitting room during the winter-- the* 

 are in pots or boxes, and the prices are inclusive.
