iv. PREFACE. 
| The packages will be forwarded by such route as shall be designated, or where the 
option is left to us, we will adopt such mode of transmission as shall be most expeditious, 
economical and safe. During the winter, when the northern rivers and canals are frozen, 
all packages destined fur the Western States can be sent by the way of New-Orleans, or 
via Philadelphia or Baltimore, to Pittsburgh or Wheeling. 
All Catalogues may be obtained gratis by application direct to us. All orders for 
Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Green-house Plants, Bulbous Flowers, Dahlias, or Seeds, 
must be sent, post paid, direct to us, or through a regularly authorized agent. Every in- 
voice transmitted by us will havea printed heading and our signature, to prove it genuine, 
and we assume no responsibility whatever, where such an invoice cannot be produced. 
As many persons in the Union act as agents for different nursery establishments, it is 
particularly requested, that where orders are intended for us, it be plainly specified, but 
no person is to be considered as our Agent, unless he can produce written proof of the 
fact. It is expected that persons with whom no acquaintance exists, will, in forwarding 
orders otherwise than through an agent, designate some person in New-York who will be 
responsible for the payment, or tendera suitable reference, and a discount will always be 
allowed when cash ora draft at ninety days or less, on some city, is sent with the order. 
[t is requested that those who, in sending orders, mention only the numbers by which 
the trees, &c., are enumerated in the catalogue, should be particular to state the edition 
from which they make their selections, as there are some numerical variations in ibe 
different editions. All letters requiring information will be promptly replied to, and the 
proprietors desire that applications be made to them direct on every subject. 
Any packages for us will come safely if directed to No. 23 Pine-street, New-York. 
The postage of a letter is a trifling thing, but to one who receives a great number it 
becomes burdensome ; persons are therefore desired to send their letters pest paid. 
N. B. It is expected that no persons having similar establishments will copy the dif 
ferent remarks attached to this Catalogue. This notice is more particularly applicable 
to two neighboring Nurseries, the proprietors of which have been so assiduous in filching 
our prefatory and other remarks, that they have even copied the typographical errors 
which had been made bythe printer. To protect ourselves against a repetition, we have 
secured the copyright, and shall promptly prosecute for the offence.

PRICES OF FRUIT TREES, &c. 
The prices have been greatly reduced, in many cases 25, 33, and even 50 per cent. 
below former rates, and the average prices throughout the Catalogue will be found as 
low, and in general much lower, than the same articles, equally genuine and of equal 
quality, can be obtained elsewhere. 
Green House Plants, in assortments, will be supplied at lower rates than they can be 
obtained any where else in the United States. 
Where ornamental trees of very large size are wanted for streets, avenues, &c., or 
where fruit trees are wanted of extra large size, they will be charged in proportion.
