FRUIT TREES.

YENHE Proprietors of the Cedar Grove b.
IL tanic Garden and Nursery, near Salem
in Henry county, Iowa Territory, have COM
menced their Botanic Garden and Nursery
business; where they have on hand about
thirty.six thousand Apple trees, a considerable
number of which will be ready for transplant
ing this fall or ensuing spring. The trees will
be large and fine, in point of size and vigor
not often equaIled. One great advantage the
trees Of our nursery will have over those COM
ing from the eastern States, is, their being
growed upon the prairie, where they are ex-
posed to the winds, which will tend admira-
bly, to acclimatizc them to more northern coun-
tries, and trees thus hardened by nature, will
be found to succeed best in our southern
States. Their collection of apples consists of
above forty varieties (ripening in succession
throughout the year) judiciousiy selected from
above five hundred kinds, of the eastern Sc
lections. Some of their varieties are new and
recently from Princes nurseries Long Island
New York. Each tree will be numbered &C.
cording to the catalogue which will be fur
nished with each lot of trees, and the trees
of each kind tied in separate punches so that
there may be no mistakes. The proprietors
do not pretend to perfect infallblity in re-
gard to the identity of the different kinds;
but in regard to this they are very partcu-
lar as they consider the responsibility great.
Orders from distance with cash accompa-
nying, will receive as prompt attention as
though the purchasers were present, and
where persons are not acquainted with the
quality of the different kinds of fruit, they
are recommended to state in their orders the
number of trees wanted, and leave the Sc
Letting to the proprietors who will endeavor to
render justice to all their customers
Parcels of one thousand trees or upwards,
can be delivered at Fort Madison or Burlng.

miles OF the nursery, at first cost.
