NURSERY OF J. J. THOMAS, 
Macedon, Wayne Co., N. Y. 
A FINE collection of fruit trees are offered for sale at this nur¬ 
sery, all of which have been propagated from bearing trees, 
whose genuineness or excellence, and fitness for the climate, have 
been thoroughly proved by the personal examination of the pro¬ 
prietor. It has been a principal object to avoid the confusion re¬ 
sulting from a numerous list of varieties, and to present only a 
moderate collection of the very finest kinds. To accomplish this, 
many years have been occupied, and selections have been made 
from several hundred sorts in bearing, none but the finest being 
chosen, after thorough examination and trial. 
The Ornamental Department comprises a very select list of hardy 
shrubs and herbaceous perennial plants. 
The new Catalogue of this nursery will be forwarded gratis by 
mail, on every post-paid application.

taining all the good qualities which the most improved cultiva 
tion for over ten years has conferred on the vineyards at Croton 
Point, are now offered to the public. Those who may purchase 
will receive such instructions as will enable them to cultivate tlie 
Grape with entire success (provided their location is not too far 
north.) All communications, post-paid, addressed to R. T. UN¬ 
DERHILL, M. D , 4l)0 Broadway, New-York, will receive atten¬ 
tion. He feels quite confident that he has so far meliorated the 
character and habits of the Grape Vines in his vineyards and 
nurseries, by improved cultivation, pruning, Ac., that they wiH 
generally ripen well and produce good fruit when planted in most 
of the northern, and all the western, middle and southern states. 
The fall is found to be as good a time for planting vineyards as the 
spring, if not deferred too late in the season.
