CURSORY REMARKS. XIU 



house Plants can be forwarded with safety at any season, ex- 

 cept the winter months, and even then, if the conveyance is 

 wholly by water. 



In addition to these, Scions of Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, 

 Sec. can be transmitted from October to April. Many per- 

 sons are prevented from ordering trees, from a supposition 

 that they will not bear distant transportation, an idea so ex- 

 tremely erroneous, that it ought to be exploded ; the pro- 

 prietor is in the constant habit of sending trees, and even the 

 most delicate plants, to the remotest parts of the Union with 

 success; and he annually transmits large quantities to the 

 different cities of Europe, where in some cases they have 

 from 300 to 500 miles land carriage, after crossing the At- 

 lantic. The success which attends these expeditions is an 

 ample proof of the superior manner in which the articles are 

 packed for their respective voyages ; and persons sending 

 orders, need only state the extent 6f land and water car- 

 ria.Q:e, and the articles will be packed accordingly. 



Catalogues may be obtained gratis of either of the agents, 

 or by direct application to me ; and orders left with them, 

 or forwarded ("post paid) to the proprietor, will meet atten- 

 tion ; but it is expected that persons, with whom no ac- 

 quaintance exists, will, in forwarding orders otherwise than 

 through an agent, designate some person in New- York who 

 will be responsible for the payment, or tender a suitable re- 

 ference. It is requested that those who in sending orders 

 mention only the numbers by which tlie trees, S:c. are 

 enumerated in t!ie catalogue, should be particular to state 

 the edition from which they make their selections, as there 

 is some numerical variation in the different editions. 



The fiostage of a letter is a trifling things but to one ivho 

 receives a great number^ it becomes burdensome ; persons 

 are therefore desired to st7id their letters host fiaid. 



As many persons in the Uraon act as agents for different 

 nursery establishments, it is particularly requested, that 

 where orders are intended for m.e, it be plainly specified; 

 and every invoice hereafter will have a firinted headings and 

 my signature^ to prove that it is ge?iuine. I mention these 

 cautionsycr good and conclusive reasons^ as I knovj I have 

 been injured by decefiiions, 



N. B. It is expected that no persons l;aving similar esta- 

 bli^>hments will copy the Treatise, or other remarks at- 

 tached to this catalogue, without crediting the source ; as it 

 would be extremely unreasonable lh?t other persons should
