CURSORY REMARKS. 



The Fruit trees in the annexed Catalogue are either 

 grafted or inoculated,, and are propagated from such 

 European and American kinds as have acquired a well 

 merited celebrity; the selection of which has been 

 made with care and attention. Every precaution is 

 taken which is necessary to preserve the different va- 

 rieties perfectly distinct, and all the Peach and other 

 trees are perfectly healthy, and free from disease. 



It may also be well to observe, that some of the fruits, 

 particularized in this Catalogue, and which are of Eu- 

 ropean origin, differ from those of the same name in 

 Mr. Cox's work on Fruit trees, which are of American 

 origin, as names taken from English publications have 

 sometimes been given to fruits originating in America, 

 which differ both in form and flavour from the European 

 kinds ; therefore, where it is desirable to have the par- 

 ticular kinds described 1n that work, it will be neces- 

 sary that the order should specify it. 



Every tree, when sent from the garden, is duly la- 

 belled ; and from 15 to %o trees s^e usually packed m, 

 each matted bundle. 



Where trees are requested for exportation, they are 

 carefully packed in matts, casks, or boxes, so as to be 

 sent to Europe, the West-Indies, or any part of Arne~ 

 rica, with perfect safety. 



All packages of trees are delivered at Crane-wharf^ 

 New- York, by water, free of freight ; and, when parti- 

 cularly desired by persons at a distance, they will be 

 shipped to any port they may designate ; and agree- 

 ments have been made with the lines of packets to Bos- 

 ton, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, and 

 Savannah, to take the bundles of trees at a very mode- 

 rate freight. 



American Indigenous Trees, Shrubs, and Plants, or 

 their Seeds, suitable for sending to Europe, (of which 

 Catalogues are published distinct from the present,) 

 will be supplied in assortments from $ 5 to $ 500.
