rieties, but those who request a selection of the choices!, will be sure to 

 receive such. 



A Supplementary Catalogue is annexed, enumerating about 600 varie- 

 ties of Annual, Biennial, and Perennial Flower Seeds, very many of 

 which are of extreme rarity ; and they being mostly collected from 

 plants in this establishment, their excellence may be relied on. The 

 principal object in view is to furnish venders of seeds with wholesale 

 quantities at reasonable rates, but to accommodate our correspondents 

 we cannot object to furnishing smaller parcels for family gardens when 

 applied for. Specimen beds are sown of every variety, for the inspec- 

 tion of visiters, and accurate descriptions, are made for the purpose of 

 perfecting a cheap work which it is proposed to publish, containing des- 

 criptions of the different varieties of Esculent Vegetables, &c, wiih di- 

 rections for their culture, &c. 



Every person desirous to engage in the sale of ihe above named arti- 

 cles, 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, preparatory to the regular sales. Bulbous roots, Dahlia?, 

 Paeonies, &c. being usually vended in a dry state, can with perfect con- 

 venience be made objects of sale in Seed stores, and they will be sup- 

 plied at so liberal a discount as to make their sale an object of import- 

 ance. The period for sales is from the 1st of October to 1st 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 y $6 per dozen, according to quality and rarity, 

 and these can be retailed at a large profit. Each Dahlia will be put up 

 separately in moss, ready for sale, when sent to venders. The following 

 species of Bulbs can be vended in the Spring as well as Autumn as they 

 need not be planted till May; Amaryllis Formossissima, or Jacobean Lily, 

 and most others of its class, Tuberoses, Feraria, or Tyger Flowers of 

 ail kinds, Crinums, Pancratiums, Zephyranthes of ail kinds, and some 

 others. The reduced prices for Bulbous Flower roots by the dozen, arid 

 in assortments, as stated in the present Catalogue, will allow a retail 

 profit thereon of from 25 to 100 per cent.

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

 Scotch Perennial Rye Grass ; Italian Rye Grass ; Venetian Wheat 

 which has produced here 34 bushels to the acre, and other varieties ;

 usual rates, a difference in price of course being made when very large 

 parcels are desired ; and where the purchase is made for cash, a discount 

 will be allowed. Those who desire it can forward lists stating quantities 

 wanted, &c., which will be priced by us and returned by the first mail.
