rieties, but those who request a selection of the choicest will be sure to re- 

 ceive such. 



A Supplementary Catalogue is annexed, enumerating about 600 varie- 

 ties of Annual, Biennial and Perennial Flower Seed?, 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 furnish- 

 ing smaller parcels for family gardens when applied for. Specimen beds 

 are sown of every variety, for the inspection of visiters, and accurate de- 

 scriptions are made for the purpose of perfecting a cheap work which it is 

 proposed to publish, containing descriptions of the different varieties of Es- 

 culent Vegetables, &c, with directions for their culture, &c. 



Every person desirous to engage in the sale of the above named 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, 

 preparatory to the regular sales. 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 li' eral a dis- 

 count as to make their sale an object of importance. 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 $6 

 per dozen, according lo 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 all kinds, Crinums, Pancratiums, 

 Zephyranthes of all kinds, and some others. The reduced prices for Bulb- 

 ous Flower roots by the dozen, and in assortments, as stated in the present 

 Catalogue, will allow a retail profit thereon of 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 Perennial Rye Grass; Italian Rye Grass; Venetian Wheat, which 

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

 Oats; English Potatoe 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 Luzerne, the finest known; Tri- 

 folium, incarnatum, or Crimson Clover, very early; Double crop Sainfoin; 

 Large Lentiles; Vetches of the best varieties; Trefoil, or Yellow Clover; 

 Taylor's Fortyfold, and Early Nonpariel Potatoes, now taking precedence 

 of all others, the former being the most productive variety known; Potato 

 and White Top Onions ; White Italian Mulberry; Large Riga Flax; Su- 

 perior Barley of two varieties; extra large Fuller's Teazel; Mangold 

 Wurzel Beet, of the best variety ; Large yellow, and Large White Sugar 

 Beet, the latter sweetest of all Beets, and the three all very profitable for 

 cattle; Superior Purple Ton Swedish Turnip, or Ruta Baga ; Large 

 White and Large Yellow field Carrots; the best kinds of Field Turnips 

 and Cabbages, for cattle, &c. The seeds of these can be furnished in large 

 quantities, much below the 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. 



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 seeds, and of such as are in but
