COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY. 
PARSONS & CO., at Flushing, near New York. The pro¬ 
prietors of this establishment invite public attention to their 
large assortment of every desirable variety of Fruit and 
Ornamental Tree or Shrub. Their importations of every¬ 
thing new in Europe are annually continued, and they 
offer a very large variety of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs 
imported expressly for arboretums and pleasure grounds. 
Their collection of Roses is annually enriched by novel¬ 
ties from abroad, many of which may be found described 
in their new work on the Rose, recently published. Fruit 
Trees receive their particular attention, and are propagated 
under their personal supervision ; this care, with their pos¬ 
session of extensive specimen grounds, in which is tested 
©very variety of fruit they cultivate, enables them confidently 
to guarantee the genuineness of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to 
send out thrifty and well-formed trees. From their large scale 
of propagation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, 
where hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries 
can be addressed to the proprietors at F'lushing, near New 
York, where catalogues will also be furnished. They have 
established a Branch at Brighton Depot near Boston and by 
the entiie success of "their trees transplanted thither have 
thoroughly proved the superior adaptation of Long-Island 
Trees to the soil and climate of any part of New England. 
This they attribute to the perfect maturity attained by the 
wood before frost, which renders the trees suitable for trans¬ 
portation to any latitude. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at their 
Brighton Branch to furnish those who may prefer obtaining 
their supply thence. mhtf
