‘The prices for trees, &c. are, by mutual agreement, the: 
game with other establishments in the vicinity. ‘Trees of extra 
large size will be charged in proportion. 
The proper seasons for transplanting trees are the months of 
October, November, and, December, in autumn; and March 
and April, in the spring.. Kor Bulbous Flower Roots, the best 
season is from July to October inclusive. Green-house Plants: 
can be forwarded with safety at any season, except the winter: 
months. oe Ghee eet a Gueey 
It seems almost superfluous to remark, that all trees and 
plants in this Catalogue, not. particularly designated as ten- 
der, are hardy. 
Catalogues may be obtained gratis of either of the agents,. 
and orders left with them, or forwarded (post paid) to the pro- 
prietor, will meet attention; but it is expected that persons for- 
warding orders otherwise than through an agent, will designate 
some person, in New-York, who will be responsible for the: 
payment. 
As a prejudice has. prevailed: from time immemorial,. that: 
trees, like cattle, when removed from a rich to a poorer soil 
cannot thrive, and as nursery grounds are generally supposed 
to be kept in. the richest possible state, it is a duty whichthe: 
proprietor of this establishment owes to himself to state, that: 
for many years he has not made use of as much manure on his: 
grounds as is commonly put on the same quantity of ground by 
farmers in their usual course of agriculture—not from any be- 
lief in the above mentioned doctrine, but from motives of eco- 
nomy, resulting from actual experiment, he has substituted cul-. 
ture for manure, by having his grounds, previously to planting, 
ploughed more than twice the usual depth, and by having the 
ground.each year dug along side of the rows of trees. By this 
management they are continued in the most thrifty state until the 
period for transplantation. The doctrine of trees not thriving: 
when removed from rich.to. poorer soil. has long since been ex-. 
ploded in Europe. - Marshall, a celebrated English. writer, is. 
very particular on this subject, and gives instances that have 
come under his observation to. prove its fallacy, in his “ Rural 
Economy of the Midland Counties. of England,” vel. i. p. 85. 
It is absolutely necessary the young trees,, at the time of trans- 
planting, should be vigorous and thrifty, and it is of no conse= 
quence whether this is. praduced by strength of soil or by cul-
