Timely Suggestions to Intending Purchasers. 
The edition of our General Catalogue, published a year ago, is so complete and we find 
so^few changes necessary, that we have concluded not to publish a new edition this year, 
but to issue a Supplementary List in which a few reductions in price are noted, some novel¬ 
ties of conspicuous merit are mentioned prominently, and special attention is directed to many 
good things, not exactly new, but of such importance and value as to deserve the careful 
consideration of every intending purchaser. Attention is also especially directed to the excel¬ 
lence of the illustrations in this Catalogue, which are from photographs of specimens growing 
in our Nurseries. 
In all of the departments of our Nurseries we keep our collections fully up to the times 
by securing, at home and abroad, all that is meritorious, and by rejecting, after careful trial, 
whatever has proved to be unworthy of propagation and dissemination. 
Our long business experience (over fifty years), complete experiment orchard, extensive 
nursery grounds, and large force of skilled assistants, together with exceptional facilities for 
handling, packing and shipping, place us in a position to do full justice to all who favor us 
with their orders. 
It affords us pleasure to announce that our stock for the current season is unusually 
large, well-grown and thrifty, and assortments full and complete. 
Everyone who contemplates planting, either on a large or small scale, is requested to 
send for our General Catalogue, consisting of 160 pages, embellished with numerous engrav¬ 
ings of the most popular trees, etc. It contains, besides accurate descriptions of the best 
varieties of fruit and ornamental trees, etc., plain and practical cultural directions, and forms 
a convenient hand-book, which every owner of property should possess for ready reference. 
It will be mailed free on application. 
Superintendents of Parks, Public Grounds, Cemeteries, and Landscape Gardeners will find 
our extensive and varied collections specially adapted to their purposes. 
We grow an immense stock and will make special prices to purchasers of large quan¬ 
tities. Estimates of cost will be cheerfully furnished on request. 
FRUITS, NEW AND OLD.- We offer for sale the most complete and varied assort¬ 
ment of fruits in the United States and adapted to a great variety of soils and climates. We 
pack in such a manner that the goods can be shipped with safety to the most distant parts 
of this and foreign countries. 
We publish a catalogue of Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants and Holland Bulbs in July, 
and all who desire anything in this line are requested to send for this publication when it is 
issued. 
EARLY ORDERS.—Although this list will reach you before planting time, nevertheless, 
it is well to plan and prepare in advance, and as orders are filled in rotation, buyers will find 
it to their advantage to send in their lists as early as possible. 
The Packing Season. 
The Spring packing and shipping season usually opens here about the ist of April, and 
continues into the month of May. The planting season is not regulated by any particular 
month or day, nor by the state of vegetation where the planting is to be done, but by the 
condition of the trees to be planted. Hence, trees can be sent with safety from Rochester to 
localities several degrees south, even if they do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting 
season in that locality has passed. In the Autumn, we usually commence digging and pack¬ 
ing the first week in October and continue until the freezing of the ground, say middle to end 
of November. 
Twenty Per Cent. Reduction in Express Rates. 
We are pleased to announce that we have secured from the Express companies a 
reduction of 20 per cent, on Trees and Plants , and our customers will therefore enjoy the 
benefit of the same.
