Wholesale Catalogue for Nurseries an(f D*f

WILLIAM R. PRINCE & CO., 



FLUSHING, NEW YORK. 



We are now gradually winding up our extensive Nurseries, and we therefore 

 offer great advantages to Nurseries requiring supplies, and equally good articles 

 have never been offered at such moderate rates. This Catalogue comprises only 

 aueli Trees and Shrubs as we actually possess and have ready for delivery, and is 

 not made up, as many Nursery Catalogues are, with a mass of articles they never 

 possessed; thereby causing only disappointment, vexation, and loss of time to ap- 

 plicants. The spring season opens here quite early, and trees can be packed and for- 

 warded durinsrthe moderate periods in February, and throughout the month of 

 March. We will forward packages by any Transportation Line or Express, &c, that 

 may be designated, and will forward the receipt therefor to the purchaser, and 

 there is consequently the best security for their delivery. Wc pack all articles in 

 so secure a manner that they go to California, Oregon, South America, all parts of 

 Europe, and every section oi' our own country, with perfect safety : and it is almost 

 impossible for losses to occur, unlessby the neglect of others. After having performed 

 our duty in packing and forwarding, the goods are at the risk of the purchaser. 

 Payments can be safely made by a check or draft, and where these are not to be 

 hail, remittances of bank notes can be made through the American Express, or 

 Adams & Co., who will insure safe delivery if desired. We shall sell our trees for 

 cash or notes that are made perfectly satisfactory by references and otherwise, and 

 we may as well say at the outset, that in selling our stock at a sacrifice, we will not 

 receive any doubtful security. We desire those who want our trees, to write their 

 letters plainly to the point, stating explicitly what articles they want, and how they 

 wish to make the payments — by cash or otherwise; and if only part is offered in 



cash, to state what notes or securities will be given for the balance, and name re- 

 ferences. 



The Fruit Trees we offer are stocky and full-branched, they being grown in 

 ample space, and our Pears on the Angers Quince stock, are especially so ; and not 

 of the Currant-bush- character, called trees in some nurseries; which, from being 

 grown only a few inches apart, are, as a consequence, weak and unhealthy. The 

 same remarks will apply to our Ornamental Trees; whereas a mass of spindling 

 apologies called trees, are continually hawked throughout the country, they being 

 too worthless to command any sale at home. When orders are sent for Fruit Trees 

 in quantity, we expect them to comprise a fair average assortment; the purchaser 

 can send a list of names sufficiently extensive, designating which he prefers having 

 the mostof, and we will execute the order as nearly as possible, sending more or less 

 of each as convenient. As a rule, we propagate far the most of the leading and best 

 known varieties. 



Conditions. — Purchasers are entitled to the trees at the annexed prices, only 

 when the quantity specified is ordered. When smaller quantities are wanted, they 

 will be supplied to the Trade, at a discount from our General Catalogue prices, in 

 proportion to the extent of the order. 



Facilities for Transportation. — The means of transportation from New 

 York (whence we expedite all packages), to all parts of the Union, are more 

 frequent and rapid than from any other point, and it requires but IS hours by 

 railroad to Dunkirk or Buffalo, on Lake Erie. 



N. B.— Orders should l>a directed to us at Fl ushing, and sent per mail.
