ESCULENT VEGETABLE, FIELD, AND FLOWER SEEDS. 



The Proprietors announce to all venders of Seeds, and to those who may 

 desire to undertake such business, that they will supply every variety desi- 

 rable at very low rates, and at a liberal credit, and the wholesale prices are 

 so moderate, that they allow a great profit to the retailer, it being the inten- 

 tion to render this branch of business profitable by its great extent, and not 

 by enhanced prices. 



Very extensive grounds are now devoted to raising the seeds with the 

 utmost circumspection and purity, and the arrangements in foreign coun- 

 tries are such as to insure accuracy. 



Every person desirous to engage in the sale of the above articles, will, on 

 application, receive all the information requisite to the object, and such an 

 establishment ought to exist in every town in the Union. The present 

 period is particularly eligible for forming arrangements for business, prepa- 

 tory to the regular sales. 



Where persons are not sufficiently conversant with the subject to make 

 selection of the varieties best suited to their respective locations, and to pro- 

 portion the quantities in accordance with the usual demand; such selectioa 

 will be made by us if desired. 



Bulbous roots, Dahlias, Pseonies, &c. being usually vended in a dry state, 

 can with perfect convenience be made objects of sale in Seed stores, and 

 they will be supplied at so liberal a discount, as to make their sale an objeet 

 of importance. The period of sale is from the 1st of Oetober to the 1st of 

 May, but Dahlias will succeed if not planted till the middle of May, or 1st 

 of June. Double Dahlias, of named varieties, selected by the Proprietors, 

 will be supplied at $3, $4 50, and $6 per dozen, according to quality and 

 rarity, and these can be retailed at 100 per cent, profit. The reduced price 

 for Bulbous Flower Roots, by the dozen, and in assortments, are stated in 

 the New Catalogue, and the retail profit thereon is from 25 to 100 per cent. 



Great attention has been paid to obtaining from foreign countries the 

 finest Agricultural seeds, among which are the following : — Pacey's and 

 Scotch r f erennial Rye Grass- Italian Rye Grass; English Potato Oats, 

 weighing 44 lbs. per bushel ; Early Angus, and Hopetoun Oats, superior 

 to any others in Europe; English/French, and Dutch White Clover Seed ; 

 Provence Lucerne, the finest known; Trifolium Incarnatum, or Crimson 

 Clover, very early ; Taylor's Fortyfold, and early Nonpareil Potatoes, 

 Skinless oats, Large Yellow Sugar Beet, and Mangold Wurzel; Superior 

 Purple-top, Swedish Turnip, or Ruta Baga; Large White and Large Yel- 

 low Field Carrots ; the best kind of Field Turnips, and Cabbages for Cat- 

 tle, &g. The seeds of these can be furnished in large quantities, and a 

 difference in price is of course made when very large parcels are desired, 

 and where the purchase is made for cash, a discount will be allowed. Those 

 who wish it, can forward lists stating quantities desired, &c; which will 

 be priced by us, and returned by the first mail. 



Some explanation may be requisite in regard to the course adopted in ma- 

 king sales to venders. The seeds are usually supplied by the pound or 

 bushel ; but of the higher priced vegetable seeds, and of such as are in but 

 little request, parcels of half and quarter pound, and of half, quarter and 

 eighth bushel will be supplied on similar terms. 



A liberal credit will be allowed, and where a good understanding is es- 

 tablished, there will be no difficulty in arranging this point to mutual con- 

 venience, and on this, and every other subject, the suggestions of corres- 

 pondents will receive the fullest consideration. The different treatises here- 

 in enumerated, will be supplied to venders at 20 per cent, discount. A Seed 

 Catalogue, containing the New-York retail prices by theoz., quart, &c, 

 as a guide to venders, will be sent to every applicant. Seeds of the new 

 crop can be supplied in August and September, and Turnip seeds, and 

 some other kinds, can be furnished the last of June, When so desired,
