FIGS. — Figuiers. — Ficus carica. 



The cuUure of this delicious fruit having recently become an object of particular attention, and requiring no more care as 

 to covering in winter than the delicate kinds of grapes, the greatest pains haoe been taken to extend the collection by impor- 

 tations of the choicest kinds from the south of France, Italy, and elsewhere, and it now forms a concentration of this fruit 

 unrivalled in extent and excellence. 



Those marked I 50 cents ; IT 75 cents. Those not marked are $1. By the hundred, a discount of one-third in pries 

 will be made ; and where 25 are talien, 25 per cent, discount.

This fruit requires, in this latitude, that the trees during winter should be placed in a cellar, or some other place free from 

 frost, or that they have a temporary frame of boards over them. South of the Potomac it is supposed that they will not re- 

 quire that care. All the Jollomng produce fruit, except the five double flowering varieties.

We have investigated with special care, far more as a matter of fancy than of profit, the relative merits of the prin- 

 cipal varieties of Strawberries known in Europe and America, and have rejected those unworthy of culture. We 

 have expended above 81000 in this object, and our present collection is the most estimable and extensive that exists 

 in either hemisphere, and forms the climax to which this favorite fruit has attained. The specimen beds occupy 

 above an acre, and all are correct and free from any mixiure. More than 50 other varieties, and tliousands of seed- 

 ling varieties of select parentage are in our grounds undergoing investigation, and they will no doubt afl!brd many 

 excellent and unique varieties. Of the following, a few dozen plants can now be supplied of each variety : — 

 Adriana. Caleb Cope, Clara Victoria, Emily, Hancock, Mary, Virginia, William Henry, &c., at $2 to $3 per dozen. 

 It is indispensably necessary that the pistillate varieties be accompanied by about oiie-tenth of some staminate 

 variety, and they will then prove invariably productive. This course was recommended in our Treatise on Horti- 

 culture, published in 1828. Nothing can be more silly than for each one who rai>es a Seedling Straw berry, to forth- 

 with announce it as " superior to all others," &c., wlien they have seen but few of the best varieties. Persons who 

 have not inspected our collection when in fruit, can have no knowledge of the magnificent and highly flavored 

 varieties which are yet unknown in other parts of the Union, and which are incomparably superior in flavor and 

 excellence to the coarse varieties usually extolled. 



P denotes pistillate, and S. staminate varieties. 



Note. — No less than a dozen are sold of any variety, except those priced per pair. When 2 dozen are ordered, the 

 price will not be varied, but 30 plants will be sent \ and where 50 are ordered, they will be charged at two-thirds 

 the price named for a hundred.
