F RUIT Trees of all kinds, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Grape¬ 
vines, Hedge Plants, Box for edging, Strawberries, Dahlias, 
Green-house Plants , Ifc. fyc., in large or small quantities. The Nur¬

The following varieties of Apples can be furnished: 
The Wagener. —For this new variety the New-York State Agri- 
ricultural Society awarded to Charles Lee, Esq., of Yates county, 
the place of its origin, the highest premium in 1847, and again in 
18IS; also procured a colored plate for a frontispiece to its published 
Tran-actions, and gave it a full description in part as follows: '••Tex¬ 
ture —Fine grained, crisp and juicy. Flavor —Rich, sprightly, vin¬ 
ous, sub-acid and delicious. Season —From October to May, and 
a prolific bearer.” By referring to vol. 7th, page 60, of the Albany 
Cultivator, it will be seen that I have had the exclusive privilege of 
Mr. Lee’s trees, and have taken scions from his, the original seed¬ 
ling tree, and also from others worked from it in the same neighbor¬ 
hood, so that those ordering will be sure of the genuine variety. 
Price of this variety 50 cents each, and scions furnished only in small 
quantities. 
The Hawley or Douse. —For flavor, size and productiveness, this 
is believed to be the best fall apple known, either for dessert or mar¬ 
ket purposes. A description and outline can be seen in the Cultivator 
of April, 1847, from which we quote : “ Of all the varieties of Apples 
which have lately been brought to notice, probably none is destined 
to become more and deservedly popular than the Hawley or Douse.” 
Also in the Horticulturist of July, 1847; Hovey’s Magazine of Dec. 
1847, and the Genesee Farmer of May, 1848. The latter in describ¬ 
ing it, adds—“ The first time we saw it was at the State Fair at Au¬ 
burn, in 1S16, when it was exhibited by E. C. Frost, of Chemung 
county, as the Douse. His specimens were monstrous, and we well 
remember the commotion it created among the pomologists present, 
to all of whom it seemed unknown.” Trees four years from the 
graft, 50 cents each. Scions by the dozen or hundred. 
The Winter King, is a very showy and productive Apple, cultivat¬ 
ed in this and Tompkins county, where it sells one shilling per bushel 
higher than that fine and well known variety, the Swaar. 25 cents. 
Tompkins Apple. —Origin Tompkins county. An out ine and de¬ 
scription is given in the Horticulturist of February, 1S48. Mr. Down¬ 
ing says—“ A large, handsome, and productive autumn fruit, superi¬ 
or in flavor to the Porter. We commend it with confidence to the 
notice of amateurs, and collectors of good fruit.” Season—Oc¬ 
tober and November. 25 cents each. 
In addition to the above four new varieties, among other standard 
sorts, are the following: Early Harvest, Large Sweet Bough, Sum¬ 
mer Queen, Fall Pippm, Early Joe, Norton’s Melon, Swaar, Bald¬ 
win, Northern Spy, Roxbury Russet, Ladies Sweeting, and Newtown 
Pippin. Scions—One or two dozen can be sent by mail with safety, 
to any part of the Union, and larger quantities by public conveyance. 
Pears and Plums are not affected by the blight. 
Eastern Fruit Growers can procure Peach Trees here, perfectly 
free from the Yellows, a disease to us unknown. 
Trees carefully packed, and sent by public conveyance to any sec¬ 
tion of the United States and Canadas. 
Being on the Chemung Railroad, which connects the New-York 
and Erie, with the Buffalo and Albany route at Elm ra and Geneva, 
this location for rai’road facilities, is surpassed by none. 
Priced Catalogues furnished gratis to all post-paid applicant*, con¬ 
taining an engraving and full description of the Wagener, and Haw¬ 
ley-or Douse Apple. 
Packages amounting to $10 and over, passing to or through New-
