In offering a new edition of this Catalogue to our friends and patrons, we have the 

 pleasure of announcing that our general stock of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and 

 Plants, has never been so extensive, or so complete, in every department, as it is at 

 this time. Everything has been well and carefully grown, as regards health, beauty 

 and vigor, as well as accuracy, and we solicit its inspection, by gentlemen or their 

 gardeners, nurserymen, dealers, and all parties interested in Ornamental planting. 



During the past few years, much attention has been given in Europe, as well as in 

 our own country, to the collection of trees, with peculiar or remarkable habit or foliage, 

 such as Weeping and Drooping trees, Purple leaved, Cut leaved, and Variegated 

 leaved trees. New varieties of each of these classes are now annually brought to n otice, 

 and they have become so numerous, and attract so much attention, that we have 

 thought it desirable, for the sake of convenience, to arrange them in separate classes. 

 We invite special attention to this arrangement. Many of the new trees in these 

 classes promise to be valuable acquisitions to our list of Ornamental trees. 



Several of the most important species of Ornamental plants, such as the Rose 

 PsBony, Phlox, Dahlia, Chrysanthemum, &c, are changing annually by the introduc- 

 tion of new varieties, and our aim, in regard to these, is to obtain all the new varie- 

 ties, which are real improvements, and discard the older and poorer ones. Thus our 

 collections of these families change more or less every year. 



The taste for hardy perennial border plants is growing, and we have for some 

 years been paying special attention to this class. Our collection now embraces the 

 most ornamental species and varieties in cultivation, as far as we have been able to 

 procure them. 



We desire to call particular attention to our collection of Evergreens, which em- 

 braces not only all the popular and well known species, but the finest of the Califor- 

 nia Pines, and others. All have been frequently transplanted and prepared for 

 successful removal. 



All trees and plants are carefully labelled, and packed in the best manner for any 

 part of the United States, Canada, or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made, 

 and no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the Railroad or Canal. 



It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages accom- 

 pany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will 

 exercise our best judgment ; but in all cases the articles are at the risk of the purchaser 

 after being shipped; and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held respon- 

 sible. ' "" 



All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on 

 some of the principal cities for the amount, or reference that will be satisfactory.
