REMARKS. 



The numbers on the right of each column denote the nursery 

 mark. As trees are taken from the nursery, a label is aftixedto 

 each kind, marked with the number attached to its proper name 

 in the catalogue. 



Those marked thus ■ will not be ready until the fall of 18J3 ; 

 and those marked thus j- not until the fall of 1829. 



The various kinds of fruit arc arranged in the order of ripen- 

 ing, according to season. 



When trees arc to be sent to a distance, they will be carefully 

 packed in mats or boxes, at a small additional expense. 



Persons wishing- to purchase, arc requested to call and select 

 for themselves. Orders from a distance, must either enclose 

 cash, or refer to some one near, who will become responsible 

 for the payment. 



Orders left with Thomas Levering, near the General Post Of- 

 fice, in Washington, or Edward If. Linthicum, corner of Bridge 

 and High streets, Georgetown, will be immediately and prompt- 

 ly attended to. Trees delivered at either place free of charge. 



When trees are received that cannot be immediately planted, 

 a trench should be dug, the roots well wet in water and laid in 

 it, then covered with earth, pulverized, so as to settle well 

 about them, and prevent their drying ; in this manner, trees are 

 often kept through the winter with perfect safety. 



The selection of Fruit for an Orchard being an object of the 

 greatest importance to every person intending to plant, is at- 

 tended with such difficulty, that, often, persons do not succeed 

 in procuring it to their satisfaction ; sometimes from the want 

 of a knowledge and acquaintance with the quality of the differ- 

 ent varieties, or too much confidence in the judgment and re- 

 commendation of those from whom they purchase, who, no 

 doubt, sometimes are more interested in making a sale to suit 

 their own convenience, than to give satisfaction to others; be- 

 sides, it often happens that a Nursery does not present such a 

 collection as suits the views of every purchaser. 



The Proprietor being frequently called on to select for others, 

 deems it important here to give a few hints as to the considera- 

 tions that should direct a choice, and by which he is pretty ge- 

 nerally governed. 



If the Orchard be near a town, and the fruit be intended for 

 market, the size, appearance, and flavor of the fruit, should be 

 important considerations, always having in view to keep up a 

 constant succession, from the very earliest to the latest. If war-
