TO ALL AMATEUR POMOLOGISTS AND NUR- 
SEREYMEN. 
TI/'M. R. PRINCE & Co., Flushing, have just issued a Supple- 
” mentary Catalogue of Pears exclusively, stating the age, si¬ 
zes, and prices; and also which are on Pear, and which on Portu¬ 
gal Quince stock. This will be sent to all post-paid applicants. It 
is scarcely necessary to remark, that such is the scarcity of the 
choicest kinds of Pears, that although found in numerous Cata¬ 
logues, there exists but few suitable for immediate sales. Having 
anticipated the demand, we have at great pains and expense con¬ 
centrated ill our establishment the largest and finest collection of 
Pears existing either in Europe or America. Those who send orders 
early will be supplied ivithout a single omission, and we urge pur¬ 
chasers to inspect our Nurseries and judge for themselves. Of all 
other Fruit ana Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and Plants, we have a 
great supply, and especially of Evergreens. 
Table Grapes. 
We now offer the most estimable assortment of Table Grapes ever 
presanted to Amateurs, having culled the choicest from every 
country. An examination of the description in our Catalogue (36th 
edition) will satisfy every amateur on this point. 
American Wine Grapes. 
As our country has begun to develop its appropriateness for Vine¬ 
yards, we have greatly increased our stock of the kinds of Grapes 
most suitable for that object, comprising 25 varieties, aud will sup¬ 
ply them by 100 or 1,000, at low rates. We have 20 varieties that 
are estimable for the table, several of which are equal or superior 
to the Isabella and Catawba. Feb. 1, 1848—It.

N. S. SMITH’S NEW AND IMPROVED BUFFALO 
SEEDLING POTATOES, 
C OMPRISING several sorts of Pinkeyes, Russets, Purples, Reds, 
Whites, Rareripes, Orange, and others not yet fully developed. 
All purely Seedling—the product of a careful and expensive ex¬ 
periment of six years with the seed from the balls and its Seedlings 
in alternate reciprocal culture Reciprocal, because in each rota¬ 
tion the seed improves the Seedlings, and the Seedlings the seed. 
By this method of culture these potatoes have acquired a healthy 
and early character, are very productive and of the finest quality. 
Having been for so many years in succession planted in April, (in 
their seed,) and early harvested, they have become constitutionally 
what they are, and with early planting, early digging, dry and airy 
storage, they will prove sound and durable —and the method con¬ 
tinued, the development of new varieties and improvements will 
also continue. 
Also, “ N. S. SMITH’S NEW AND IMPROVED BUFFALO 
SEEDLING POTATO SEED.” This seed was gathered in the 
balls last September from a four acre crop of Seedlings, from im¬ 
proved seed sown in April last. Six years alternate reciprocal 
culture with its Seedlings, has given it an early and very productive 
character. It will produce Seedlings of the size of small birds, 
eggs as early as in May. Season favorable, with good culture, it 
will produce the first season sown, about 200 bushels per acre, a 
good proportion of marketable size, sufficiently mature for the ta¬ 
ble, and seed balls in abundance. Tubers of the weight of 12 oz. 
were quite common among the young Seedlings last fall, and on 
the roots of many single plants were found fully set and growing, 
hundreds of Seedlings, though when so numerous, mostly small. 
In addition, this seed is impregnated (by the pollen in the blows) 
with choice varieties, late from Germany, England, South America, 
Albany, Illinois, and home markets—mostly Seedlings, interspersed 
for that purpose in the field; and it will represent, when culivated, 
all the distinct varieties grown in that field, besides an amusing 
freak of mottling, tinting, and originality. The seed may be sows 
in April like tomatoes, in a warm bed. Bleached cotton cloth, 
tacked on frames for potato beds, is better than glass. The beds 
should be open to warm rains and to all yrarm weather. The same 
hands in a given time will transplant with the young plants more 
ground than can be planted with tubers. ( Particular directions ac¬ 
company the seed.) These potatoes and seed were represented at 
the two last State and County Agricultural Fairs, and the first pre¬ 
miums awarded them. The cultivation of these potatoes and their 
seed will be continued at Buffalo with every possible improvement. 
Seedlings of approved varieties carefully packed in chaff, and de¬ 
livered at the wharf or depot in Buffalo, $5 per bushel—$10 per 
barrel. Transportation safe from frosts after February. Seed per 
paper—sufficient to produce 10 bushels—$1, with directions. It 
may be conveyed by mail with double postage. Orders and com¬ 
munications, post-paid, will receive prompt attention. 
Buffalo, Jan. 13, 1848—3t. N. S. SMITH. 
Extract from the Report of the Committee on Vegetables at the last 
New- York State Fair. 
“ The committee on vegetables have reported, that for the greatest 
and best varieties of Seedling potatoes of approved varieties, they 
award the premium of ten dollars ($10) to No. 73, presented by N. 
S. Smith, of Buffalo, N. Y. These potatoes were grown by the 
Rev. N. S. Smith, of Buffalo, who has favored us with the manner 
of their cultivation and production. He has been six years culti¬ 
vating them from the balls that grow on top of the vines ; his me¬ 
thod is the alternate planting of the seed and tuber or potato, tak¬ 
ing care to select always the best varieties. He has presented at 
the Fair as a specimen of his crop this season, thirty varieties of 
Seedlings, all of them evidently of fine quality. His specimens of 
this year’s Seedlings, from the seed of his best Seedlings, are very 
fine. He presents, also, fine specimens of Seedlings from seed of 
Seedlings grown last year in Prussia, Germany, and fine varieties 
late from South America. Mr. Smith is confident, and the Judges 
favor the opinion, that in his experiments a great improvement in 
the potato is already accomplished; and he hopes to be able to ob¬ 
tain permanently, potatoes not only of the finest quality, but per¬ 
fectly sound and hardy. The judges would recommend the atten¬ 
tion of farmers to his specimens on the ground, and also to his 
mode of cultivation.” Signed by David Gray, Chairman.
