WILLIAM R, PRINCE & CO. PROPRIETORS OF THE LLNNJEAN BOTANIC GARDEN NURSERIES, At Flushing, offer the following Fruit Trees of extra size^ for sale, March 1st, 1846. RARE AND CHOICE PEARS. These varieties can all be supplied of extra sizes, from 6 to 12 feet in height, a portion of them of one height, and a portion of another between the two ex- tremes named, but more than one hundred of the varieties embraced in the two divisions which follow, can be supplied, of 8 to 12 feet in height. They ire remarkably stocky and vigorous, being of far greater diameter than the Trees isually sold. Purchasers are urged to inspect these Trees personally or by an \gent, as they are beyond comparison finer than any Pear Trees obtainable else- where. As our stock of these extra sized trees is limited, and comprises only a few thousands, and not sufficient to supply one half the usual applications, pur- chasers must send their orders promptly, or they will be disappointed, as many were last spring. The terms for these Trees will be cash, or good drafts or notes at short date. Prices ; 6 to 7 feet, 7.5 cts ; 7 to 8 feet, $1 00 ; 8 to 9 feet, Si 25; 10 to 12 feet, $1 50 each. Trees of less sizes, 37 to 50 cents each. Priced Catalogues of the entire collection of Fruit and Ornamental Trees and Plants, Bulbous Flower Roots, new and superb Dahlias, Green-house Plants, &:c., will be sent to every postpaid applicant. The following Pears are all of the new Flemish, French and English varieties, of the first rank and greatest merit, with the exception of a half dozen other varieties of longer date : — Period of maturity Ah mon Dieu, .......

COMMENTS ON NEW VARIETIES OF FRUITS, 8fC, A large number of varieties of Apples, Pears, Plums, Peaches, Cherries, &c. have been added to the collection, in addition to those comprised '\i\ the 34th edi- tion of our Fruit Catalogue ; but the trees of these varieties being small, would not suit the generality of customers. If, however, any persons desire them, they will be supplied of one year's growth from the inoculation ; and there is no estimable variety described in the catalogue of the London Horticultural Society, or in the catalogues of the best Nurseries of France, England and Bel- gium, or in the recent work of Mr. Downing on Fruits, but what is now under cultivation in our Nurseries. The whole assortment of novelties, both in the Fruit and Ornamental departments, will be published the ensuing summer in a Supplementary Catalogue. The entire collection of Fruits at present com- prised in this establishment, is incomparably superior to any other in America or in Europe, with the single exception of that of the London Horticultural So- ciety, which is merely a specimen collection of one or two trees of a kind, and none for sale. We have also the most extensive collection of bearina specimen Fruit Trees in the Union, and now comprising nearly 2000 varieties. The assort- ments of Raspberries, Currants, Strawberries, and other small fruits, are also of great interest, comprising every estimable variety, and many of remarkable pe- culiarity and excellence. The department of Roses is the one, next to Fruits, which has enlisted the feelings and devotion of the proprietors. It occupies four acres, and comprises every very choice and admirable variety which could be culled from all the eminent collections in Europe ; and by thus concentrating in one Garden the choicest beauties of every clime, it presents a combination superior to any other collection in this country or in Europe. Strangers are invited to view all the different departments to which we have referred, and to witness that we have not portrayed too vividly the estimable varieties con- centrated therein. There is so much bombast and humbug in the pretended catalogues that are issued from this town, and from 3 or 4 towns in this and other States, that it is next to impossible for a stranger to form a correct judg- ment except by actual observation; for while we on the one hand supply as- sortments annually to more than one hundred Nurseries, and to thousands of individuals, there are three or four Nurseries which we have referred to, that pub- lish the most copious catalogues, when, in point of fact, they have not one article in twenty that they enumerate, and some comparatively have none at all. This deceptive practice has been carried on to such an extent, that there are now Nurseries hailing from this town and elsewhere, that actually have never had an existence. We have submitted to this palpable fraud most pa- tiently, hoping it might subside ; but we now find that distant purchasers of trees are so often misled and disappointed that we intend, if the practice is not dis- continued, to publish the names of the persons and the circumstances. There is also a class of men who buy up inferior and dubious trees, and take them to distant localities and sell them, under the pretence that they are of the most estimable dlass, and that are obtained from us or some other leading estab- lishment. We actually, in one of our tours, passed an auction store where trees were being cried and selling as from us, when we had never heard of the man, or had any dealings of any kind whatever. Deceptions in the different ways referred to, are calculated to grossly injure the best regulated establish- ments ; and as we conduct our business far more from partiality and pride than from pecuniary motives, we intend hereafter to publish every act of this kind that we become apprized of. Besides the foregoing evils, there are others re- sulting from the silly jealousies which too often exist, even among respectable Nursery proprietors, who are striving for business ; and those least eminent and prosper, .us are apt to decry the excellence or accuracy of nr.ore extensive or more successful establishments, which only serves to prove that even the culture of Fruits and Flowers does not totally obliterate the evil passions. But the malice of such acts is only surpassed by the puerile weakness and utter fool- ery that generates such idle remarks— as every reflective man must know that the perpetuity and prosperity of a Nursery can only be sustained by the accu- racy and good faith with which it is conducted, and that any wrong committed towards its supporters, would be precisely equivalent in folly and weakness to that of a physician who should seek to build up his fortune by poisoning his own patients.
