who has also charge of the farming operations, and one who oversees the laborers in 
large gangs. 
Each of these men is held responsible for his own charge. *This is oneof the advan- 
tages of a large establishment. Each department is large enough to justify the ap- 
pointment of a special head over it, who acquires a skill and expertness in the per- 
formance of his duties, which would not be possible for those who are at one thing 
to-day and another to-morrow. 
The office business is managed by one head clerk, who acts as cashier and aids in the 
correspondence; a book-keeper and two or three assistants as the season requires. 
The head men have nearly all been in the establishment for upwards of twenty 
years; most of the assistants entered it as small boys. ‘ 
Since this was written our grounds have been extended and improved; the collec- 
tion of fruits in the specimen grounds has been constantly enriched with such new 
varieties of native and foreign origin as promise to be worthy of cultivation, and is 
now, we venture to say, the most complete in the United States. During the past 
25 years, our exhibitions of fruits at the leading agricultural and horticultural fairs 
have attracted much attention, received the highest awards, and have aided materially 
in establishing a correct nomenclature and creating an interest in the study of 
pomology. 
In the future the business will be conducted with the same vigor, care aud 
integrity as in the past. Oursons are associated with us in the management, and 
will assume the more arduous duties. We shall continue to give it our personal 
supervision as long as life and health may permit. 
Our stock of fruit trees at the present time, in its extent, as well as in complete- 
ness of assortment and vigcr of growth, has never been surpassed. It is nearly all 
grown upon new fresh soil, which produces an abundance of healthy, fibrous roots 
and firm, well ripened wood—qualities which all experienced planters will appreciate. 
Great inducements are offered to nurserymen and dealers, with whom we are pre- 
pared to deal on the most liberal and accommodating terms. (See Wholesale Cata- 
logue, issued semi-annvally—Spring and Fall.) Special attention is requested to our 
extensive and superior assortment of fruits, suited to various soils and climates, and 
grown specially for amateur collections. Parties leaving the selection of kinds to 
us, may rely upon being well served. Orders, however small, will receive prompt 
and careful attention. 
It is needless to add that our shipping facilities are unsurpessed, and packing is 
done in the best manner. 
The Ornamental Department forms separate Catalogues, Nos. 2 and 3, as well as a 
Supplemental List of New Roses.
