CURSORY REMARKS. 



The fruit trees in this catalogvie are citiier grafted or ino- 

 culated, and are propagated from such European and Ame- 

 rican kinds as have acquired a well merited celebrity, the 

 whole collection of which has recently gone through a com- 

 plete revision, and the selections have been made with threat 

 care and attention. Every precaution is taken which is ne- 

 cessary to preserve the different varieties perfectly distinct, 

 and all the peach and other trees are perfectly healthy, and 

 free from disease. iVIany persons, liowever, are apt to pur- 

 chase trees without regard to any point but their cheapness, 

 and not unfrequently, after the toil and expense of years, find 

 thern, when they arrive at !)earing, absolutely worti^less. 

 The strongest proofs the proprietor can give the public of 

 his anxiety to guard against misconception, are the exact 

 descrifitions contained in the Treatise recently published, 

 and the other v;orks of a similar character in which he is 

 now engaged ; the result of which will be, that any person, 

 however ignorant on the subject, cannot fail to know if he 

 lias been deceived. 



It seems almost superfluous to remark, that all trees and 

 plants in this catalogue not particularly designated as tender, 

 are hardy. 



Every tree, when sent from the Garden, is duly labelled ; 

 and from 15 to 25 trees are usually packed in each matted 

 bundle. 



Where trees are requested for exportation, they are care- 

 fully packed in matts, casks, or boxes, so as to be sent to 

 Europe, the West-Indies, or any part of America, with per- 

 fect safety. 



All packaQ:es of trees are delivered at Fulton-market 

 wharf, New-York, by water, /ree of freight ; and, when par- 

 ticularly desired by persons at a distance, they will be ship- 

 ped to any port they may designate : and agreements have.
