SEED STORE,

562 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.

The subscriber would respectfully inform his friends and the public that he has on hand a general and choice collection of Agricultural, Horticultural, and Floricultural seeds, all the growth of 1846, selected, as far as possible, by himself, with especial care as to the stocks from which they were grown. He can safely warrant them, as being, in every respect, of the very best quality, and at least equal to any seeds sold at any other establishment. In addition to the usual assortment of Seeds, Roots, Implements, &c., kept for sale in similar establishments, he will also keep for sale such articles as Guano, of different sorts, Bone Dust, Poudrette, Nitrate of Soda, Sulphate of Soda, Sulphate of Magnesia, Whale Oil Soap, Russia Mats, Bell Glasses, Flower Pots, and, as nearly as possible, every article appertaining to Horticultural and Floricultural pursuits.

Orders for Fruit and Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Hothouse, Greenhouse, and Hardy Plants, will receive special attention in the selection, package and shipment.

He is also authorized, by Mr. Hitchings of this city, to receive orders for his improved Hot-water Apparatus, with conical boiler, it being pronounced, by all who have used it, as far superior to any other in use where anthracite coal is used as fuel. References, as to its capability of heating, and economy of fuel and construction, can be given to many gentlemen in the neighborhood of New York, some of whom have previously tried different other methods without obtaining satisfactory results. The subcriber will also furnish plans and working drawings for Greenhouses and other Horticultural and Agricultural buildings, and also for the laying out of pleasure-grounds, &c. His charges for such, or for advice upon subjects connected with Horticulture and Agriculture, will be moderate, and in accordance with the extent of information sought or given.

CAMBRIDGE NURSERIES, NEAR BOSTON, MASS. RESPECTFULLY invite the attention of amateur cultivators to their immense collection of Fruits, embracing every variety to be obtained in Europe, selections of which were made from the English, Scotch and Continental nurseries, in the autumn of 1844, during a personal visit, and other new and rare kinds, since received from their established correspondents in London, Paris and Brussels. No pains or expense have been spared to render their collection unequalled in the Pomological department, both in extent and variety; and specimen trees of every kind are planted out, thus affording an opportunity to inspect the fruit as the trees are yearly coming into bearing.

The original trees cost one guinea each, and fine young trees are now offered at $2 each.
