FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES. 
Shrubs, Roses, Vines, and Exotic Plants. 
PARSONS & CO., Flushing, near New-York, invite atten¬ 
tion to their fine stock of Hardy and Erotic Trees and Plants, 
constantly enriched by their collectors in America, and by im- 
portations from abroad. 
Their Exotic Department, occupying a number of houses, is 
full of rare and valuable Plants, and is worthy the inspection of 
visitors The varieties of Exotic Grapes are kept genuine by 
constant propagation from fruit-bearing vines to which two 
houses are devoted. 
Their Rose Department contains a large assortment of all the 
finest varieties,, and the best Standard sorts are cultivated in 
very large quantities, and sold at reduced rates for massing and 
dealers. They do not bud their Roses, and cannot therefore sell 
them to compete with those who have adopted that mode of 
cultivati n. No stock upon which to bud has yet been found, 
that will not sucker up and destroy the variety worked upon it 
In the Open Ground Department, they offer a large stock of 
well-grown and thrifty Fruit Trees, suitable either for the Ama¬ 
teur or the Dealer, including the finest kinds of Standard and 
Dwarf Pears, Cherries. Plums, Peaches, Apples, &c. These are 
now offered at reduced prices 
In the Hardy Ornamental Department will be found a large 
quantity and variety of Deciduous and Evergreen Trees and 
Shrubs, for the Avenue. Lawn, or Garden. Of these some flue 
varieties are cultivated in very large quantities, and sold at a 
great reduction from the usual rates. Among them are Spiraeas, 
Lilacs, Forsythias, Weig^leas Stuarteas, Andromedes, Pyrus 
japonica Norway Spruce, Deciduous Cypress, L<rch, Ash 
Maple, Beech, Linden, and others. 
They have made the Phododendron a speciality, and have 
cultivated it in such large quantities that they can offer it at 
greatly reduced rates. The beauty and richness of the foliage 
and flowers of this valuable shrub cannot be too highly appre 
ciated. 
A new feature of their establishment is the extensive propaga¬ 
tion of the Rare Evergreens, the cost of importing which has 
hitherto placed them beyond the reach of any but the wealthy. 
They can thus offer at moderate rates, the fine sorts, as Podo- 
carpus, Retinosperum, 0ephalotaxus. Thujiopesis. Taxus erecta, 
and others. 
For Hedges, they would call attention to the Siberian Arbor 
Vitae, which is far more valuable than the American, in that, it 
bears transplanting well, is very close and compact in its habit 
requires no trimming, and is not affected by the coldest winter
