In offering a new edition of this Catalogue to our friends and patrons, we have 
the pleasure of announcing that our general stock of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and 
Plants has never been so extensive in every department as it is at this time. Every- 
thing has been well and carefully grown, and we solicit its inspection, by gentlemen 
or their gardeners, nurserymen, dealers, and all parties interested in Ornamental 
planting. 
During the past few years, much attention has been given in Europe, as well as 
in our own country, to the collection of trees, with peculiar or remarkable habit or 
foliage, such as Weeping and Drooping trees, Purple-leaved, Cut-leaved, and Varie- 
gated-leaved trees. New varieties of each of these classes are now annually brought 
to notice, and they have become so numerous and attract so much attention, that we 
have thought it desirable, for the sake of convenience, to arrange them in separate 
classes. We invite special attention to this arrangement. Many of the new trees in 
these classes promise to be valuable acquisitions to our list of Ornamental trees. 
Several of the most important species of Ornamental plants, such as the Rose, 
Pa:ony, Phlox, Dahlia, Chrysanthemum, &c, are changing annually by the introduc- 
tion of new varieties, and our aim, in regard to these, is to obtain all the new varieties, 
which are real improvements, and discard the older and poorer ones. Thus our col- 
lections of these families change more or less every year. 
The taste for hardy perennial border plants is growing, andwehave forsomc years 
been paying special attention to this class. Our collection now embraces the most 
ornamental species and varieties in cultivation, as far as we have been able to procure 
them. 
We desire to call particular attention to our collection of Evergreens, which em- 
braces not only all the popular and well known species, but the finest of the California 
Pines, and others. All have been frequently transplanted and prepared for successful 
removal. 
All trees and plants are carefully labelled, and packed in the best manner for any 
part of the United States. Canada, or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made, 
but no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the Railroad or Canal. 
It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages accompany 
each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will exercise 
our best judgment ; but in all cases the articles ate at the risk of the purchaser after bang 
shipped ; and if delay or loss occuis, the forwarder alone must be held responsible. 
All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on 
some of the principal cities lor the amount, or reference that will be satisfactory. 
Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be com- 
mitted in filling their orders, in order that we may at once make ample amends, as we 
desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with 
their confidence.
