completely furnished. Its location is at the Central City of the 
Empire State, in the midst of one of the most populous, cultivated 
and productive agricultural regions anywhere to be found. Both 
soil and climate in this section of Limestone and Salt, are eminently 
friendly to the growth of Fruit Trees and Fruit in perfection, and 
taken together, the attractions and advantages presented here are 
rarely equalled and nowhere excelled. The facilities for shipping 
from this point, in every ^direction and to whatever destination are 
unrivalled. 
Specimen Grounds — Upon our Specimen Grounds may be found 
a large quantity of Fruit Trees including many rare varieties of 
Pears, in, full bearing.* They are open to public inspection, and 
strangers and others are invited freely to visit them, especially in 
the Fruit season. 
We have also spacious ornamental grounds planted over with * 
Evergreen and other Trees, Shrubs, Plants, &c., to which the atten- 
tion of those interested is respectfully invited. 
Times For Transplanting, Packing, &c. — The usual periods for 
transplanting w'ith us, are from about the middle of October to the 
first of December, in the Autumn ; and from the last of March to 
the beginning of May, in the Spring. Trees for the South and 
West should be forwarded in the Autumn. The uncertainty as to 
the time when we can commence our Spring operations, renders 
this consideration important, if not imperative. • 
All trees, plants, &c., sent from our Nurseries will be distinctly 
labelled, and safely packed, for which the charges will be moderate ; 
and all packages will be delivered without charge for delivery at 
the Cars or Canal, after which they are entirely at the risk of the 
purchaser. Explicit directions for marking and shipping should 
accompany each order. 
All orders from strangers should enclose the cash, or contain a 
satisfactory reference. 
Our office is situated on West Genesee Street, No. 190, but a few 
moments walk ftom the Rail Road Station. Omnibuses, whose city 
terminus is at the Syracuse House, traverse the street, passing our 
door every thirty minutes through the day.
