Wm. Prince & Sons will furnish trees, &c, at the prices sta- 

 ted ; and as much is said about errors in the respective varieties, 

 we expressly guarantee every tree and cutting that we sell, to be 

 the identical kind we sell it for. The wood of our Multicaulis 

 trees being much stronger and more vigorous than most of those 

 now offering for sale in different quarters, these trees will con- 

 sequently produce a much greater developement of growth the 

 ensuing season. The imperfect wood at the ends of the shoots 

 has been cut off, which forms a point of far greater difference to 

 purchasers than most of them are aware of, as in most cases 

 much immature wood is measured, or the buds on it counted 

 and paid for. The strong buds cut from vigorous wood, will 

 also produce from 50 to 100 per cent, more growth than weak 

 buds. Furthermore, our trees have been carefully preserved 

 during the winter, so that all their buds are in the most perfect 

 state. From these circumstances, we now offer our trees and 

 cuttings as superior to most others, and inferior to none, and as 

 not to be compared with the weak and immature trees so gene- 

 rally met with at the present period. 



The Spring being now at hand, the trees, cuttings, &c, can 

 be forwarded at any momjnt. Sales for immediate delivery 

 will be made for cash, or satisfactory notes, payable at a bank 

 in some city, and 25 per cent, of the purchase money must be 

 sent with the order, and the balance settled by cash or note at 

 or before the time of delivery. Where it is desired that the 

 trees be delivered in April, 25 percent, must be sent in cash, by 

 a draft or bank certificate of deposit, with the order ; and a 

 note, for the balance of 75 per cent., payable at such period in 

 April or May, as may be fixed upon for their delivery ; and im- 

 mediately on receiving such remittance, we will forward to the 

 purchaser a contract binding ourselves to deliver the trees to 

 his order. We do not in any case hold ourselves bound to any 

 prices we may name, until we actually receive the first payment, 

 as prices will, without doubt, continue to advance every week, 

 especially just before the planting time commences, until they 

 attain to the same rates they did last Spring, which was 30 to 35 

 cents per foot for trimmed trees. 



All Trees, Cuttings, &c, will be packed in the very best man- 

 ner in boxes or matted bundles, so that they will keep perfectly 

 safe for months during any voyage or travel, and they will be 

 delivered to any person in New- York, or sent by any Transpor-
