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 establish- 

 ment 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, Paeonies, &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 liberal a discount as to make their sale an object of importance. The period 

 for sales is from the 1st of October to 1st of May, but Dahlias will succeed if not 

 planted till the middle of May or 1st of Jane. Double Dahlias, of named varieties, 

 selected by the Ppoprietors, will be supplied at y$3, $4 50, and y$6 per dozen, according 

 to quality and rarity, and these can be retailed at 100 per cent profit. Each Dahlia 

 will be put up separately in moss, ready for sale, when sent to venders. The follow- 

 ing 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 Tiger Flowers of all kinds, Crimums, Pancratiums, 

 Zephyranthes of all kinds, and some others. The reduced prices for Bulbous Flower 

 roots by the dozen, and in assortm.ents, are stated in the New Catalogue, and the 

 retail profit thereon is from 25 to 100 per cent. ^ 



Great attention has been paid to obtaining from foreign countries the finest Agri- 

 cultural seeds, among which are the following — Pacey's, and Scotch Perennial Rye 

 Grass j Italian Rye Grass j 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 j Provence Luzerne, the finest known ; 

 Trifolium incarnatum, or Crimson Clover, very early ; Double crop Sainfoin ; Large 

 Lentiles ; Vetches of the best varieties ; Trefoil, or Yellow Clover ; Tailor's Forty- 

 fold, and early INonpareil Potatoes ; now taking precedence of all others, the former 

 being the most productive variety known ; Potatoe and White Top Onions ; White 

 Italian Mulberry ; Large Riga Flax ; Superior Barley of two Varieties ; Extra 

 large Fuller's Teazel ; Mangold Wurzel Beetj'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 ; Large Yellow Sugar Beet, and Mangold Wurzel ; Superior 

 Purple Top Swedish Turnip, or Rata 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 j 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 little request, parcels of half 

 and quarter pound, and of half, quarter, and eighth bushel will be supplied on simi- 

 lar terms. The wholesale prices are so moderate, that they will afford to the retailer 

 a profit generally of from 100 to 150 per cent, and some kinds 200 per cent, or 

 more when vended at the N. York retail rates. Applications are sometimes made 

 for wholesale quantities to be put up in retail parcels, regularly labelled, &c, and they 

 v.'ill be supplied in that manner when required at a discount of 33 1-3 per cent, from 

 the retail rates. Purcliasers will readily perceive, however, that they derive much 

 greater Advantages on the score of profit by purchasing in the manner first designa- 

 ted. Flower seeds of above 600 beautiful varieties will be supplied to venders in 

 parcels at 25 to 50 cents each, and many varieties can be furnished by the ounce, 

 pound, &c. when so required. They will also be supplied, put up in small parcels 

 for retailing at $2 50 per 100. A liberal credit will be allowed, and where a good 

 understanding is established, there will be no difficulty in arranging this point to 

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

 pondents w^ill receive the fullest consideration. The different Treatises hereafter 

 enumerated will be supplied to venders at 20 per cent, discount. A Seed Catalogue 

 containing the New York retail prices, as a guide to venders, will be sent to every 

 applicant. Seeds of the new crop can be supplied in August and September, and
