anil ONROT NURSERY : 
* The constantly increasing demand upon this establishinent 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- ; 
» J shiment is conducted personally by 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 arc kept constantly cultivated and free from weeds and grass, the great cause of so ; 
4: } any of our nerseries producing black hearted trees, not worth the setting if they could be had for nothing. One great reason for the unparalleled 
siecess 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. 30,000 1: 
. irpes willbe ready for delivery the coming Autumn, of the following varicties.

; at prices corresponding to their size and excellence, so that all may be accommodated. ‘The larger and more beautiful trees commanding the prices 7 
usnally obtained at most nurserics, while the younger, though equally thrifty trees, will be sold at pyices lower than ever before offered, the proprietor cy) 
+ depending upon large sales rather than large profits upon few trees, for his success in‘the enterprise. Orders for trees to be sent by public conveyance 1 
; should always be accompamicd with the Cash, to insyre prompt attention, and the trees will be packed, labeled and forwarded in all cases with ¢ 
_ the greatest care. & [. E. ILGENFRITZ, Proprietor.

I. E. Ilgenfritz first planted trees at Monroe in 1843. The first sales were made from his nursery in 1847. 
The above bulletin is interesting both because it shows the complete list of stock carried at that time and 
the many varieties listed then which are still today’s standard.
