AZALEA BEJ^CrlCJE, INDIC.cE; AND SINENSIS. 



The greatest attention has been paid to a selection of the most splendid 

 Varieties of the above classes of the Azalea family, and the collection now 

 compri&es above 200 varieties, the most brilliant in color, and beautiful in 

 development, a distinct Catalogue of which is now in preparation for amateurs. 

 Twelve varieties, half of the Indica, and half of jhe Belgian varieties, will be 

 supplied for ^S. Twenty-five varieties for ^12. 



FRUIT TREES OF NEW AND RARE VARIETIES. 



lu addition to the immense assortment of the choicest Fruits of every class 

 embraced in the 32i edition of the General Catalogue, we have obtained all the 

 other noted Belgic varieties originated by Professor Van Mons and others, and 

 all the most select varieties recently noticed and recommended by the London, 

 and other European Horticultural Societies, and also every superior variety 

 comprised in the collection of the late Robert Manning, a Supplementary 

 Catalogue of which will be sent to those who desire it, and grafts as well as 

 trees will be supplied. 



In all cases, Specimen Trees are planted in our experimental orchards, and as 

 nearly all the varieties contained in our Catalogues have borne fruit and been 

 thus "proven in our grounds, and many of them also in the grounds of our late 

 esteemed friend Robert INIanning, between whom and ourselves a continual 

 correspondence has existed on the subject of our mutual experiments and 

 discoveries, we do not hesitate to pronounce our collection of Fruits as 

 unrivalled in accuracy and in excellence by any other in this conntiy or in 

 Europe. 



AVe have prepared explanatory notes as to the qualities of the various fruits, 

 which we shall give to the public ere long in a condensed work, far more com- 

 prehensive and at less expense than any work on P&mology that has ever yet 

 appeared. 



PRICES OF THE VARIOUS ARTICLES. 

 It is well kno)^^! that there exists a considerable variation in the prices 

 charged at the ditierent ZNurseries of the Union, and it is the determination of 

 the Proprietors of this Establishment to supply all articles as cheap, and in most 

 cases much cheaper than than they are obtainable elsewhere. It should neverthe- 

 less be understood that a similarity or diminution in price does not in all cases 

 constitute cheapness. The first question to be considered by the purchaser is the 

 genuineness of the articles, and this especially applies to Fruits, and to the most 

 rare and valuable Flowering Shrubs and Plants. The second question should 

 refer to the size and vigor of the respective Trees and Plants, there being an 

 important difference to the purchaser whether these are well grown and of 

 proper size, or on the other hand mere offsets or small specimens. It is in these 

 highly important points that this ancient Establishment possesses preeminent 

 advantages, derived from the abundant stock of strong and well-gi'own Trees 

 aud Shrubberv, and also from the opportunities which time and investigation 

 have afforded for proving the accuracy and excellence of the Fruits, and the 

 beauty and value of the Ornamental Shrubs, 6cc. AVe have only further to sav 

 that it is our determination that those who may deal extensively with us, shall 

 find it to their interest to do so, as well m regard to the prices charged, as in 

 many other important particulars. 



CIRCULAR TO THE PROPRIETORS OF NURSERIES. 

 In addition to the Trees, Shrubberv, &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 have on Hand a verv large stock of less size, from one 

 year's growth upwards, which we will sell at diminished rates in proportion 

 thereto. AVhere the quantity taken is large and not less than than 12, or at the 

 least 6 of any one kind, the proportionate trouble being thereby lessened, the 

 prices will be put at the lowest rates. The same arrangement will be applied to 

 all articles in the other departmentg, and a Catalogue rated according to size and 

 quantity wiU be sent to applicants. 



CAUTION. — A person by the name of Winter, and another by the name of 

 Garretson, have been making use of the title of this Establishment without any 

 authority, and the public are cautioned against the deception.
