ton Of Camelss was made here. Some Of those
now in the possession OF those distinguished nur-
sery-men are ten feet high. The Sc
lection OF greenhouse plants is valuable and extern

ain the nurseries we saw u great many Magno.
las of which there are less than thirteen distinct
species und three varieties. One plant of theAM.
grandifora is 20 feet high and in full bloom Here
are likewise the M. cordata so feet high; beautiful
M. eliptica in flower, and magnificent specimen,
iS feet high of the NJ. conspicua; the curious Usage
orange, tina, retains its lucid foliage longer than any
other deciduous tree.
1.-THE nurseries are all very correctly managed
supplying every part Of the Union, detail Of which
would occupy too much of our space; we therefore
content ourselves with stating that the stock is very
large, and in every stage of growth, consisting Of
forest and ornamental trees shrubs evergreens vines,
and creepers, with collection of herbaceous plants;
fruit trees of the best kind and most healthy cond
ion large beds of seeding apples, pears, pums, &c,
as stocks for budding and gratng-a plan very supe
rior to that of working upon suckers, which carry
with them into the graft all the diseases of the parent
stock.
"GARDEN SEEDS
Of the finest quality have been scattered over the
country from these grounds, and may always be de-
pended upon. The seed establishment of these
horticuurists is one of the most extensive in the
Union, and its reputation is well sustained from year
to year.
ITO obviate the chance of mixture of the farina
Of plants of the same family, they have established
another nursery, at suitable distance, 30 that de-
generation cannot take place, and which secures TO
the purchasers "a genuine article. Knowing thus
the age quality, and process of culture of every
plant, the supply from their grounds is recommend
ed with great confidence"
- Since the date Of the report from which the
above is extracted, the entire establishment has been
greatly enlarged The collection of camellias en-
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.
The seed gardens alone cover fifty acres, and the
whole il, as it has been for more than half centu
ry, under the successive management Of father and
son, the most prominent in America.
