FOR THE LAWN, GARDEN, OR PARK. 
All the well known Deciduous Trees and Shrubs, as Maples, 
Oaks, Lindens, &c., and a large number of new and beautiful 
varieties gathered by their collectors, or imported from Europe. 
As one of the proprietors has recently visited all the best Euro¬ 
pean establishments, and selected from each all that was 
worthy of cultivation, they may safely assume that their stock 
is richer in beautiful novelties, than any one from which they 
selected, because they appropriated the riches of all. 
To enumerate these would require too much space here, and 
they will be found in the catalogue 
They would call attention to their large variety of rare and 
beautiful EVERGREENS for a 
WINTER GARDEN, 
Where, insi( ad of the leafless desolation which generally 
reigr.s seven months in the year, every gentleman may surround 
himself, even in the depth of Winter, with all the fresh green¬ 
ness of Spring and Summer. 
The RHODODENDRONS are unrivalled for this purpose. 
They present a mass of rich and glossy foliage for Winter, and for 
Summer a gorgeous display of flowers. These make the finest 
undergrowth, while for TREES, there are the robust Norway 
Spruce, the graceful Hemlock, the feathery Himalayan 
Pine, the various Piceas, and the glossy American Hol¬ 
ly. Masses or groups of Podocarpus, Junipers, and Yews, 
are effective upon the lawn, and single specimens of each ever¬ 
green upon the catalogue, will add to the effect.—For our 
climate and long Winters there is nothing that will compare 
with a garden of evergreens, unless it is a 
GARDEN OF GLASS, 
Where, in apartments of various temperatures, all the fruits 
ami flowers of tropical climates can be grown in profusion. 
To those who intend to erect such houses, we shall be happy 
to show our structures adapted to each class of plants, and to 
show also the young and thrifty saleable plants of more than a 
thousand varieties, from the glossy leaf and varied flower of 
the well known Camellia, to the more rare and curious Orchids, 
and the novel foliage plants, whose leaves present the delicate 
or gorgeous coloring of flowers, and are beautiful, not only fora 
short period of bloom, hut throughout the whole year. For 
blooming under glass, or for bedding upon the lawn, a large 
variety of plants is cultivated in quantity; and for the 
HOSE GARDEN, 
Some five hundred of the choicest varieties have been selected, 
and are cultivated on their own roots, at very low prices. 
Catalogues will be furnished to all who apply by mail to 
PARSONS & CO.,
