a standard of nomenclature. By this distribution, the culti- 

 vators of fruit-trees for sale will be enabled to ask for, and 

 obtain, from the Garden of the Society, the kinds they may 

 want, and thus the public generally may be supplied with 

 less uncertainty than heretofore. The private Gardens of 

 the Members of the Society will be also furnished with 

 accuracy from the distributions continually made at the 

 Office of the Society, of the most valuable and important 

 varieties thus publicly named, or by reference to the Garden 

 Committee, to whom is confided the attention to the appli- 

 cations of those Fellows whose Subscriptions to the Garden 

 give them the privilege of making especial calls for such 

 supplies.
