Since we presented the last edition of our Catalogue to the public, a year ago, we have tes- 
ted a large number of fruits in our own grounds, that t have never before been fruited iu this sec- 
tion of the country, and many of them rarely, if ever before, in the United States. 
We have also enlarged our nurseries to a considerable extent, in order to be the more fully pre- 
pared to meet the .ncreasing demands of the public for nursery productions. They cover at present 
Twenty-three Acres of land, most compactly planted with Fruit and Ornamental trees, shrubs 
and plants — and ten acres more, now in complete readiness, will be planted the ensuing Fall and 
Spring.

The universal interest that has been felt throughout all parts of this country, for a few years 
back in relation to fruit culture, has brought to notice many native varieties of the highest value ; 
these, we have spared neither pains nor expense to collect, from every part, and they are now 
either tested, or in the course of being so, under our own observation. We have also perfect ar- 
rangements effected with the most eminent nurserymen of Europe, by which we will bo furnished 
with even- tiling in the nursery line that may be new and valuable. During the past season we 
have imported seventy-five new varieties of Pears, twelve of Plums, twenty of Cherries, six of 
Apricots, &c, &c, ail of the highest repute in Europe, and not to be had in this country ; besides 
large quantities of new Roses, and other ornamental Plants, Trees, &c. We state these f acts to 
show that we are earnestly endeavoring to carry out our design of making this the^BBp . ; 
correct and complete in the Union. 
The situation of our Nursery is one of the most favorable in the country for carrying on an ex- 
tensive Nursery business. At the junction of the Erie and Genesee Valley Canals, directly on the 
Albany and Buffalo Railroad, and within two miles of the Steamboat Landing on Lake Ontario, 
it is obvious that we possess unequalled facilities for forwarding packages to any portion of the 
United States or Canada. 
W e have an advantage of eight days' transportation over the Eastern Nurseries in regard to 
supplying the West, which, considering the time, risk, and extra cost, is an important considera- 
tion, and one to which we beg the attention of Western fruit growers and dealers in trees. 
Furthermore, the Fruits and Fruit Trees of our section, are entirely free from many of the dis- 
eases so prevalent in the East— they are fresh and vigorous, as our large fair fruits fully attest. — 
The Apple tree canker-worm and borer, and the yellows among Peach trees, are cornpt»rit,vely 
little known. Besides, trees raised here hi the north-western portion of New York, are, beyond 
a doubt, far hardier and better adapted to the climate of the Western States and the Canadas, 
than those raised on the warm soils and exposures bordering on the Atlantic Ocean. Experience 
has also proved that our trees succeed better in the colder portions of the Eastern States. We 
might reier to many experienced cultivators in the East, for proof of this, if necesary. 
Our present stock has been propagated with every possible precaution to secure genuineness cf 
sort*, and to exclude every variety that has proved of a worthless or doubtful character. The im- 
portant operations of Grafting or Inoculating have been all performed by ourselves, or under our 
personal supervision. The Trees are vigorous and healthy, and we have the pleasure of offering 
them as worthy of public confidence. We do not profess to be infallible, but where we may have 
made mistakes we hold ourselves ready to rectify them as far as possible. It may be proper to 
remark, that the stock of some of the new and vory popular varieties is somewhat limited, and the 
trees atnaller than those usually sent out. 
Our collection of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and Plants, including a splendid stock of the 
finest new Roses and Double Dahlias, is very large, aud comprises a great number of the leading 
and most desirable kinds cultivated. Additions are regularly made every year, by importation
