 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 

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

 or bushel ; but of the higher priced vegetable seedsj and of such as are 

 in but little request, parcels of half and quarter pound, and of half, quar- 

 ter 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 

 convenience, and on this, and every other subject, the suggestions of cor- 

 respondents will receive the fullest consideration. The different Trea- 

 tises herein enumerated will be supplied to venders at 20 per cent, dis- 

 count. A Seed Catalogue, containing the New-York retail prices by the 

 oz. 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.

 period, more than a million of Trees and Plants, and the Proprietors are

 as to prices and credit, with all such persons as desire large quantities of 

 Trees, fcc. ; and with those proprietors of Nurseries, who wish to extend
