6 PREFACE. 



It may be taken as a general rule, that where any person sends us his entire order, instead of dividing it 

 among several Nurseries, that we will, in consequence of the a'nount being larger, supply him on more favor- 

 able terms. And as this establishment possesses a multitude of very rare and estimable Fruit and other Trees 

 and Plants which are nowhere else obtainable, and which have been priced at low average rates, we shall ex- 

 ercise our discretion for the future as to declming to supply orders for these articles exclusively, so as to re- 

 serve the rare varieties for those who send us their general and entire orders. The same rule will be applied 

 to Scions of new and rare varieties. 



CIRCULAR TO THE PROPRIETORS OF NURSERIES. 



In addition to the Trees, Shrubbery, &c., of all kinds enumerated in our Catalogues, which are offered to 

 you of the usual size at a liberal discount from the regular prices, we cultivate in our extensive establishment 

 the various Trees and Shrubs by myriads from seeds and by other modes of propagation, for dissemination to 

 other Nurseries, &c., and we can at all times supply small plants of most kinds of one year's growth and up- 

 wards, by the thousand, hundred, or dozen, at low rates in proportion to the .size and quantity ordered. The 

 same arrangement will be applied to all articles in the otiier Nursery departments, and a Catalogue rated ac- 

 cording to size and quantity will be sent to applicants. Orders from Nur.serymen and others who require a 

 large and general supplyshould be sent by 1st March or 1st October, which will prevent any disappointments. 



NOMENCLATURE. 



The correct name of each variety of fruit is printed in Roman letters, and numbered ; and the synonyms 

 immediately follow, and are printed in italics. No Fruit tree is ever sold by us under a plurality of names as 

 will be perceived by the careful arrangement of the synonyms. It is not perhaps generally known that 

 even in this vicinity numerous varieties of fruit cultivated by others are totally diflerent from those cultivated 

 by us under tlie same names. No other Nursery here can at any price be furnished with scions from our 

 Specimen Trees, and purchasers need not expect to obtain otn- proven varieties of Fruits by an application to 

 any other Nursery, as they will not be supplied except when orders are sent direct to us. 



TREATMENT OF TREES ON ARRIVAL. 



When trees have been so 'ong on their route as to become dry or shrivelled, they should be soaked in a 

 pond and entirely submerged, or they may be buried horizontally in the earth with layers of mould between 

 the layers of trees. When trees arrive so late in the spring that they have sprouted, they should as soon as 

 planted be shaded from the noonday sun until the shoots become hardened, or until new ones are started. 

 All trees transplanted in the spring require frequent waterings, and tho.-e transplanted in autumn will need to 

 be moderately %vatered in accordance with the humidity or dryness of the season. If those persons who re- 

 side far to the north, and who consequently cannot have iheir trees forwarded until late in the spring, will send 

 their orders early, we will plant their trees in a cool cellar so as to retard their vegetation until the period for 

 forwarding them. 



SEA-SHORE PROTECTION. 



On those Islands and portions of the coast exposed to the ocean, such as Nantucket, Block Island, &c., the 

 proper course is to plant a cordon of the Abele, Willows or Osiers, Red Cedar, Hemlock, &c., as the means of 

 protection, within which orchards of Fruit Trees may be safely established. 



TREES SUITED TO THE SOUTH. 

 When Fruit Trees are wanted for the Southern States, we will if desired select such varieties of Apples, 

 Pears, Plums, Cherries, &c., as have originated in Southern latitudes, such as Spain, Italy, Turkey, the south 

 of France, &c., as they are deemed most suitable for the Southern States, the West Indies, &c.
