Xll GURSOKY REMARKS. 



been made with the lines of packets to Boston, Baltimore, 

 Washington, Richmond, Charleston, and Savannah, to take 

 bundles of trees at very moderate freights ; and if desired 

 to be transmitted to Philadelphia, they can be sent there by 

 the Transportation Line in one day, and the canals now form- 

 ing in every section of our country,, present cheap and easy 

 modes of conveyance. No care is wanting on the part of 

 the proprietor to give such directions as may cause them to 

 arrive safely ; but it is to be expressly understood, that after 

 being thus delivered or shipped at New-York, they are 

 wholly at the risk of the person who orders them. 



To such persons as desire fruit fl'ees, Sec. and are not 

 themselves acquainted with the qualities of the different 

 kinds, it is recommended that they specify in their orders 

 the number of trees wanted of each species of fruit, and leave 

 the selection to the proprietor, who will make the selections 

 according to the views and tastes of applicants ; and in such 

 cases they may rely that only tliose will be sent which ara 

 of the most approved kinds, and when desired, those that 

 will ripen in succession; and larger trees can generally be 

 selected in such cases. 



It is also well where the orders are small, to Onite those 

 of several neighbours in one, which will both abridge the 

 trouble of execution and the expense of packing and trans- 

 portation; and as each tree is labelled, it can cause no con- 

 ' fusion. 



Persons who may wish to make selections of fruit trees of 

 Jiyierican origin, will find them particularly designated. It 

 sometimes occurs that the demands for particular kinds of 

 fruit trees are so much greater than anticipated, that it ren- 

 ders them for the moment comparatively scarce, except 

 those of small size. In such cases, in order to prevent any 

 delay, it would be well that the orders should authorize, that 

 such kinds may be replaced by others of equal quality, 

 which trust will be executed in a manner worthy of the con- 

 fidence reposed. 



American Indigenous Trees, Shrubs, and Plants, or their 

 seeds, suitable for sending to Europe, will be supplied in 

 assortments from S 5 to g 1,000, or more, as enumerated in 

 catalogue, No. 4. 



The proper seasons for transplanting trees are the months 

 of October, November, and December, in autumn; and 

 March and April, in the spring. For Bulbous Flower Roots, 

 the best season is from July to October inclusive. Greeri'
