hortculturists is of the most extensive in the
Union, and its reputation is well sustained from year

ITO obvate the chance of mixture of the farina
of plants Of the same family, they have established
another nursery, at suitable distance, so that de-
generation cannot take place. and which secures to

the age, quality, and process of culture of every
plant, the supply from their grounds is recommend
ed with great confidence"

| braces all the finer kinds, and consists of some
thousands Of various sizes; likewise of roses, and
other desirable plants, both tender and hardy, fruit
| trees, &c.

| ry under the successive management Of father and
son, the most prominent in America.
