following remarks: "As to the quality of the above varie¬ 
ties, we are In a position to speak from experience, and we 
can only say that we have never tasted any potatoes equal 
to them. They contain an extraordinary amount of far na- 
ceous matter, are pure white inside, and almost as solid as 
bread.”

The cheapest Trees, Plants, Vines, &c., are for sale by 
L. L,. WIUTLOCK, 37 Park Row, New York. 
1. It Is being piToved every day that In all kinds of busi¬ 
ness, the producer and the salesman are in all respects, dis¬ 
tinct In their business, and tliat the purchaser must sooner 
or later, pay not only the first cost of the article, but also 
the cost of selling that article, whether sold direct or by 
Agent, or on Commission. 
2. In my business, tlie purchaser pays the Commission 
direct to me, instead of the producer. 
3. The producer being at no expense, ■will, In most cases, 
send a list of all the stock lie has for sale, in this way, it will 
come into direct competition with all others, of the same 
kind and quality. 
4. Purchasers will find the cheapest trees and greatest 
variety on my books. 
5. Nurserymen w'ill, in thiswaK.be able to sell surplus 
stock at very low prices, without injuring their own busi¬ 
ness in the luture, or the trade, by advertising in their Cat¬ 
alogues at low rates. 
6. Producers' names arc not seen on my books, every thing 
being known by numbers, as a matter of self interest, and a 
benefit to persons selling stock low. 
7. No charge made for advertising In my Catalogues, &c. 
8. Persons ■wishing anything under One Hundred Dollars 
■worth, will be charge 1 the usual retail prices of our best 
Nurserymen, delivered in this city free of expense. 
One Hundred Dollars or over, will be considered a whole¬ 
sale order, and purchasers given every advantage of buying 
tlieir trees at the lowest w-holesale price, whether they want 
one or one hundred of a kind. 
9. I have been engaged in the Horticultural trade for the 
past twelve years, and consider my services in selecting 
trees worth more tlian I ask, but in addition to this 1 pay 
my own expenses, and give the advantage of my complete 
lists of stock for sale, at less money than one could send a 
man to select them for lilm, even if he knew where they 
could be bought, and then he would he obliged to pay retail 
price for each article. 
Send a stamp for a new Price List out February 15th. 
Orders, to secure the best selection, should be received by
