To the Fruit-loving and Tree-hiiying Public : 
AVitlx ii view of securing your patronage for our Nurseries, we invite your 
attention to tlie following, that you may better understand and appreciate our 
peculiar method of business, for we believe that in every essential particular 
the excellence and superiority of our facilities and inducements will be 
acknowledged by all. Some buyers naturally order from the first man that 
calls ; otliers wait to find tlie one who sells cheap ; Avliile tlie more intelligent 
and considerate planters seek to learn, 
FIEST.— Where the best stock grows? 
SECOND.— Who is the most reliable producer to buy from ? 
Our Nurseries embrace the best of fresh lands at this place; and the testi- 
mony is abundant and indisputable that the soil of Geneva is unequalled for 
the successful production of long-lived, healthy, vigorous trees, which experi- 
ence has amply proved are thoroughly adapted to endure extreme cold, or for 
transplanting to the varied soils and climate of the West and South. It con- 
sists of a heavy, strong, deep clay-loam, which before being planted with trees 
is always thoroughly tile-drained, and as a proof which is constantly before us, 
showing the hardiness of our trees, we would state that with over 3,000 acres 
of Nurseries in Geneva we have rarely known a tree to “ winter-kill ” in the 
roAvs, though our winters are very severe. Our trees, therefore, may be relied 
upon as being perfectly hardy in any part of the country. AVe also warrant 
them to be healthy, well-formed, stocky trees, with sullicicut well-matured 
wood to insure future vigor of groAvth and productiA-encss. 
Many years experience has convinced us tluit 4herc is no AA-ay of supplying
