sWAsEY NURSERIES,,

Yazoo City, Mississippi.
YNHE SUBSCRIBERS, respectfully calls the
a. attention OF The Public to their Extensive
NURSERY GROUNDS, which are now filled
with the most complete assortment OF
FRUIT T REEFS, PLANTS, &C.
ever offered to the people of the South
Situated as we are, in the middle region of
the State of Mississippi, we have all The diff
cuItles of the climate to contend with, and
any varieties of Fruit that will succeed well
ic5h us may be confidently recommended to
any one wishing plant in Southern climate
and soil.
We have now ia our specimen orchards
between FIVE AND SIX HUNDRED of the
best varieties of Apples to be obtained in Eu
rope or America. Of this large number, so far
as we have tested, we can recommend no more
than forty or fifty varieties which succeed well
in this Southern climate. Many Of The finest
Northern varieties are entirely worthless and
many others are Of questionable value, while
only few, and those mostly of the earliest
varieties, can be confidently recommended TO
give entire satisfaction to the Southern Planter
The same result has attended our experiments
in the cultivation of the Pear, Peach, and most
other varieties of fruit; but while we have
found many to be worthless, we have succeeded
in selecting some varieties of the Apple, Pear.
Peach, Necarine, Apricot, Plum. Cherry, &C.,
that can be confidently relied on to produce
fruit of as fine quality and in some instances
finer than can be produced in The grounds Of
the most extensive orchards Of the North.
Persons wishing to supply themselves with
fine Fruit Trees which thew can nlant anithO1li
the fear Of disappointment, can do SO, by send
ing us their orders EARLY, naming the varieties
wanted, or what would be better, naming the
season at Which they pish them to ripen, and
leaving the selection Of varieties to us.
Our Trees are very fine, and our prices are
Low, as will be seen by reference to our Cata-
ogue, which will be sent free to all applicants.
