REMARKS. 



Applications for Roses can be made by simply designating the Cata- 

 logue number of each (without the name.) and mentioning the edition 

 from which the selection is made. In a collection so very extensive, it 

 sometimes happens that the demand for particular varieties exhausts the 

 supply of a few kinds for the moment, and it is well, therefore, that a few 

 additional varieties be named in the order, to be sent in lieu of any such 

 deficiency. Where purchasers desire a certain number of each class, and 

 are not themselves sufficiently conversant, they can leave the selection of 

 the varieties to us, and we will execute the trust faithfully. The general 

 collection is cultivated in the open ground, but we at all times keep a few 

 thousand plants in pots, composed of a selection from Classes I. to X. 

 The latter are less strong and vigorous than the former, but are well 

 suited for conveyance when the others cannot be removed. 



Orders (post paid) must in all cases be sent direct to us, or through an 

 Agent expressly authorized by our written authority, and every invoice 

 wail be accompanied by our printed heading and signature. We caution 

 the public against spurious Trees and Plants, said by the vendors to 

 emanate from us. 



The best seasons for transplanting are March, April, September, 

 October and November; the autumn is preferable for transportation to 

 the Southern and Western States. In order to insure attention a remit- 

 tance must accompany the order, or some other satisfactory arrangement 

 be made for the payment, as at the period of pressing business there is no 

 time for lengthy correspondence. Good drafts at 30 to 90 days, or a satis- 

 factory reference wUl suffice. 



Deceptive Publications. 



It has become the practice of some persons in this vicinity, and in three 

 or four towns in this and other States, to publish extensive catalogues 

 without possessing one article in ten or twenty they enumerate, which 

 renders it impossible for distant persons to arrive at correct conclusions. 

 This deception has latterly been carried to such an extent, that there are 

 now in circulation catalogues and handbills professing to emanate from 

 Nurseries in this and some other towns, which actually have never had an 

 existence. We are determined if this deceptive practice is persisted in, 

 to publish the names and circumstances. These remarks apply not only 

 to Fruit and Ornamental Trees generally, but particularly to Roses. 

 "Whatever catalogues or statements may appear announcing very exten- 

 sive collections of Roses as existing in this vicinity, comparable in extent 

 to ours, are in fact the merest fables, which any one can controvert by 

 an inspection of the different establishments. Our Rose garden comprises 

 about five acres, on which we have expended many thousands of dollars. 

 Very many varieties have cost S2 to $6 each plant, and at the recent Horti- 

 cultural celebrations, we exhibited the flowers of above 400 of the most rare 

 and select named varieties at once. There is not in fact a collection in 

 America comparable to ours in extent, or in the admirable selection of es- 

 timable varieties ; and having culled the choicest from all the most cele- 

 brated Nurseries of Europe regardless of expense, we offer our present 

 collection as an assemblage of all that is most beautiful and interesting 

 throughout Europe and America, combining a fouf e/i sew6Ze vmequalled 

 by any other.
