OUR CATALOG IN 1851 
And Horticultural 
The constantly increasing demand upon this establishment for trees during the last two years, has induced 
the proprietor greatly to enlarge the extent of his grounds, and the number, variety and quantity of his fruit and ornamental trees. This entire estab- 
shinent is conducted personally In the proprietor, and upon the principle that a tree from the seed, to the time it is set in the orchard, should be in a 
constantly growing and thrifty state. To effect this, the grounds are kept constantly cultivated and free from weeds and grass, the great cause of so 
s any of our nurseries producing black hearted trees, not worth the setting if they could be had for nothing. One great reason for the unparalleled 
. eee^s of this establishment, lies in the fact, that trees from this nursery can be relied upon for producing fruit, true to their name and kind. W.OOO
