• These plants are produced from cuttings of hearing vme3. 
None of them are propagated either by layering or graft¬ 
ing, and they are so grown as to ensure an abundance of 
fibrous roots and thoroughly ripened wood. 
The testimony of those who have purchased them for the 
last two years is of the most favorable character. 
In consequence of the low price, their stock of Delawares 
has for two years been bought up early in the autumn by a 
few persons. The proprietors wish them more widely scat¬ 
tered, and hope therefore, that those who desire to purchase, 
will send their orders early. 
In consequence of the great difficulty in growing the Del- 
. aware the first year, nurserymen will find it their interest to 
purchase largely to plant for stock. 
The Proprietors can also furnish 
other HARDY GRAPES, including Concord, Di¬ 
ana, Creveling, Iona, Allen’s Hybrid, Adi¬ 
rondac, and other new sorts. 
REMONTANT ROSES 
On their own roots, and not propagated by budding or graft¬ 
ing in any root, at $25 per 100. 
Also all the best varieties of Dwarf and Standard Fruit 
Trees, and also a large collection of Deciduous and Ever¬ 
green Trees, among which are some 200 varieties of Coni¬ 
fers. Catalogues furnished by mail.
