COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY. 
PARSONS & CO., at Flushing, near New York. The pro- 
prietors of this establishment invite public attention to their 
large assortment of every desirable variety of Fruit and 
Ornamental Tree or Shrub. Their importations of every- 
thing new in Europe are annually continued, and they 
offer a very large variety of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs 
imported expressly for arboretums and pleasure grounds. 
Their collection of Roses is annually enriched by novel- 
ties from abroad, many of which may be found described 
in their new work on the Rose, recently published. Fruit 
Trees receive their particular attention, and are propagated 
under their personal supervision ; this care, with their pos- 
session of extensive specimen grounds, in which is tested 
every variety of fruit they cultivate, enables them confidently 
to guarantee the genuineness of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to 
send out thrifty and well-formed trees. From their large scale 
of propagation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, 
Where hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries 
can be addressed to the proprietors at Flushing, near New 
York, where catalogues will also be furnished. They have 
established a Branch at Brighton Depot near Boston and by 
the entire success of their trees transplanted thither have 
thoroughly proved the superior adaptation of Long-Island 
Trees to the soil and climate of any part of New England. 
This they attribute to the perfect maturity attained by the 
wood before frost, which renders the trees suitable for trans- 
portation to any latitude. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at their 
Brighton Branch to furnish those who may prefer obtaining 
their supply thence. mhtf

SALE OF HEREFORD CATTLE. 
THE MESSRS. BINGHAM, of Vermont, brothers, propose 
to sell at public auction, on the show-ground of the New-York 
State Fair, at Syracuse, from 10 to 20 head of Hereford cattle, 
3 years old and under— bulls and heifers. Our cattle were 
purchased of Messrs. Corning and Sotham, three years ago. 
We have been disposed to give these cattle a fair trial, to 
see what their merits would prove to be, before offering 
them to the public. We have come to the conclusion, that 
no race of cattle can compete with them, when all their 
good qualities are taken into consideration. We are resolved 
to push ahead in the cultivation of the Herefords, as being a 
race affording most profit for keep and care, and proving 
themselves first-class cattle for all the purposes of the 
breeder. They make a noble cross with the shorthorns, as 
well as with the native stock, showing a great and decided 
improvement. We offer these cattle to the public, under the 
strong conviction that they will prove a valuable acquisition 
to any herd. 
PURE-BRED MERINO SHEEP. 
WE shall also offer, at private sale, a large lot of pure-bred 
Merino sheep, from imported sires. The breeders of sheep 
will do well to look over our flocks before purchasing else- 
where. We sell no grades, or mongrels— worthless sheep— 
for great prices ; but we mean to deal fairly with those who 
purchase of us, and sell them our best blood for fair remune- 
rating prices ; so that our sheep shall prove a decided 
improvement to the flocks with which they may be placed.
