Excerpt from A Treatise and Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, &C: Cultivated at the Old American Nursery, Flushing-Landing, Near New York; April, 1823 We feel truly thankful to our friends and customers for the extensive patronage we have received, and con tinne to receive, from them. To merit a continuance of their favours, no exertions shall be wanting. We have succeeded in obtaining an extensive collection ot the most valuable European and American Trees and Shrubs, selected with care from an immense variety, with which we might swell our Catalogue. It is frequently a subject of inquiry, how we can discriminate among so great a number of Trees, with out being liable to errors. We reply, that we have adopted a system which cannot deceive us: our squares are numbered, and each row recorded with its different varieties. We never send a labourer to remove a Tree or Shrub, without we are present, and point out each plant separately. After Trees or Shrubs are taken up, we never allow them to lay and dry in the sun or wind, but have them immediately removed under co ver, and the roots kept wet until they are packed. Much depends on attention to them in that particular; and we are always gratified to hear that our Trees li've, flourish, and give satisfaction.
