Prceparturiena and other leading soft-shell sorts introduced by us in

We will tell purchasers, right here, and by way of introduction : [ 
First — That we do not wish to do a cheap Plant business. ! 
Second — That the varieties of each kind of Fruit composing the stock 
of our Nursuries— good many introduced by us into California and the 
United States— are all genuine and true to name, and the yery best I 
that could be procured from the oldest and most reliable nurseries in 
France. 
Third — That since the starting of our Nurseries, in the Spring of ! 
1871, every one of our imported trees and vines have been bearing [ 
fmit, with the exception of those imported the last two ye»r% thus eu- ' 
abling us to give our patrons a double guarantee as to the genuineness 
and quality of all the varieties kept ou onr place and now offered to | 
the public. 
Fourth — That the soil on which our Nnrseries are located — a yellow, 
olayish loam, with disiutegregated granite mixed with it — and the sever- 
ity of our winters (Nevada City being 2,600 feet above the pea level, and ! 
subject to very cold weather during the winter) is another guarantee to 
our customers from any part of California and the United States as to ! 
the hardiness and superiority of our trees and plants, whether taken to | 
a cold or warm climate. 
Fifth — That trees and plants are taken up with plenty roots to them, 
labeled and packed with great care. Orders from a distance, whether 
large or small, receiving the most prompt attention.

CAUTION!! I 
We should caution our customers against buying from agents pur- ' 
porting to be ours, as we have no agents whatever throughout the State 
for the sale of our Proeparturiens Walnuts, St. Catherine and Grosse

parties in Oakland, and elsewhere, having already had the cheek to 
represent themselves as onr agents, which is a fraud.
