RARE CHANCES OFFERED. 
200,000 Clioice Fruit Trees, Vines, etc., for 
sale, of varied size to siut customers. 
The subscriber calls attention to his unusually large stock 
of well grown trees now on hand, and especially to the pre¬ 
sent stock of the standard fruit, Apple, which is the 
largest and finest e^er offered at these Nurseries. 
With twenty years of experience, by careful observation 
and judicious selections, he believes he is able to judge and 
furnish what will suit his customers, as well as the varied 
soils and localities, in which trees may be wanted. There is 
also special attention paid to local varieties, adapted to 
Southern and Central Pennsylvania, many of which have 
proven themselves more valuable, than sorts originating in 
a climate differing so widely from these sections. 
He is also preparing a list of club prices for those who 
purchase direct from the proprietor, offering rare induce¬ 
ments for neighbors to join together and get trees consider¬ 
ably under the regular retail prices. 
This mode is adopted for those who may not have an op¬ 
portunity to purchase from lr.s regularly authorized agents, 
and hold a mistrust towards the too numerous tree venders 
spread over the land.
