NDCCCXLIT
CIRCULAR TO THE PROPRIETORS OF NURSERIES.
In addition to the Trees, Shrubbery, etc., of all kinds enumerated in our
Catalogues, which are ottered to you of the usual size at a liberal discount from
the regular prices, we have on hand a very large stock of less size, from one
year's growth upwards, which we will sell at diminished rates in proportion
thereto. Where the quantity taken is large, and not less than 12, or at the
least 6 of any one kind, the proportionate trouble being thereby lessened, the
prices will be put at the lowest rates. The same arrangement will be applied to
all articles in the other Nursery departments, and a Catalogue rated according to
frize and quantity will be sent to applicants. Copious remarks on every point
connected with the transactions of our business are attached to the Catalogue
of Fruits.
PRICES OF THE VARIOUS ARTICLES.
It is well known that there exists a considerable variation in the prices charged
at the different Nurseries of the Union, and it is the determination of the
Proprietors of this Establishment to supply all articles as cheap, and in most
cases much cheaper than they are obtainable elsewhere. It should nevertheless
be understood that a similarity or diminution in price does not in all cases con-
stitute cheapness. The fii'st question to be considered by the purchaser is the
genuineness of the articles, and this especially applies to Fruits, and to the most
rare and valuable Flowering Shrubs and Plants. The second question should
refer to the size and vigor of the respective Trees and Plants, there being an
important difference to the purchaser vv^hether these are vv^ell grown and of proper
size, or on the other hand mere offsets or small specimens. It is in these highly
important points that this ancient Establishment possesses preeminent advan-
tages, derived from the abundant stock of strong and well-grown Trees and
Shrubbery, and also from the opportuniiies vvhich time and investigation have
afforded for proving the accuracy and excellence of the Fruits, and the beauty
and value of the Ornamental Shrubs, etc. We have only further to say that it is
our determination that those who may deal extensively with us, shall find it to-,
their interest to do so, as well in regard to the prices charged, as in many other
important particulars.
REMARKS ON THE DAHLIA.
It may be asserted without fear of contradiction, that at no period since the
era of the famed Tulipo-mania, has the attention of the votaries of Flora been
so universally devoted to any flower as it now is to the Dahlia, the "Glory of
the Autumn." To the varieties first cultivated, the objection was justly made
that the expansion of their flowers commenced too late in the season to merit
much estimation, but culture and judicious propagation have removed this diffi-
culty as regards the new varieties. These commence blooip.ing the middle Oj
June, and continue until arrested by frost, our fine American autumn beir
particularly favorable to their development. The new varieties produce also
much greater profusion of flowers than the older sorts. This magnificent plai
therefore, ranks in splendor and diversity of form with the far-famed Tulip ar.
the Rose. Many of the varieties are inconceivably beautiful and interesting,
and there seems a never-ending variation of color and form.
The numerous varieties combine the richest shades and most varied hues of
which nature is susceptible, with every diversity in shape and magnitude, from
the size of a small globe an inch and a half in diameter, to an expanded disk
twenty-four inches in circumference !
Rivalling as they do all other plants of the garden in their majestic appearance!
and gorgeous display, they also combine the merit of facility of culture to such a
degree, that the most ignorant can scarcely fail of success ; and, indeed, the day
]^ not distant, when the number of varieties will surpass that of either the
Hyacintii, the Tulip, the Rose, or the Carnation, and the numerous Striped,
variegated, and Mottled Dahlias, will then be designated under the various
classes of Flakes, Bizarres, etc, in the same manner as the Carnation j the
connoisceurs, without doubt, becoming quite as fastidious in regard to the form-*
ation and color of the petals, as they now are in respect to the last named flower.

PRINCE'S
LIMMN BOmiC GARDEN INB ilRSERIES,
FLUSHING, NEAR NEW- YORK.
CATALOGUE OF
SPLENDID DOUBLE DAHLIAS, &G.
CAUTION.— All orders must be directed with precision to Wm. R.
Prince & Co., Flushing, by mail, or left at the office, 23 Pine St., New Yort?,
and no other person whatever is authorised to receive prders for us in New York.
The present magnificent and unrivalled Collection of Dahlias comprises, as will
be perceived on investigation, the most splendid varieties of every class that have
yet appeared in Europe or America, many of which have been imported at an
expense of three to five guineas each, and the dry roots were only obtained in time
for this spring's propagation by special favor. Above 100 of the most rare varieties
are not in any other American Collection.
The plants are deliverable in pots during the months of May and June. Dry
roots are deliverable from the first of October to the first of May, but to ensure
a supply of all that are wanted, the orders should be forwarded in good season.
Plants of both descriptions can be packed for safe transmission to any part of the
Union. In arranging the nomenclature, the name of the original grower is
inserted after the name of each variety and is printed in italics. In planting, let
the soil be moderately rich and well worked. Turn the plants out of the pots
and plant them in the open ground as soon as received. Take the roots up in
^utumn as soon as the tops are dead, dry them a few days, and then pack them
,m sand and place them in a cellar for the winter- In respect to prices, it is the
. letermination of the proprietors to supply their patrons on the most lavorable
jterms, and they will perceive on examination that the prices named are much
Delow those usually charged. Where an order is sent for a considerable amount,
a discount will be made in proportion thereto. The packages will be delivered
at 23 Pine street. New York, or shipped to any place designated.

OF THE MOST CHOICE AND SPLENDID VARIETIES,
In addition to the immense stock under cultivation in the establishment, the
proprietors make very large annual importations of the choicest new varieties
from Europe. The following have been selected with great care from th6
finest foreign collections, and are renriarkable for their size, beauty, and
peculiarity, and for the delicacy of their tints. In the selection no expense
has been spared, and great exertions and large disbursements have been made,
in order to obtain the most beautiful varieties of every class. It can, there-
fore, with the utmost confidence be asserted, that this collection is unrivalled
in extent and variety. The whole are cultivated under the same names by
which they were imported, and the prices are greatly reduced, and are lower than
have ever before been offered lo the public, the great increase of our stock enabling
us to tender this advantage to purchasers. Those who purchase to re-vend,
will be dealt with on the most reasonable terms ; and where no wholesale
prices are named, a deduction of 25 per cent, will be made from the retail
prices.
Orders for Bulbous roots should be forwarded from September to December,
inclusive. In open winters they may be planted at any time when the ground
is workable, and the bulbs have not grown too much.
At the conclusion of the present Catalogue the necessary directions are given for
their culture, etc.
V/here the prices are by assortment, or by the dozen, the selection of the varieties
is to be made by the pr9prietors ; but if applicants will name such as they
already possess, those varieties will be omitted in the selection.

SINGLE HYACINTHS.
In regard to Single Hyacinths an incorrect prejudice exists, arising from the
fact that their peculiar merits are but little known. For early flowering, and
particularly for glasses or pots, they are extremely desirable ; they combine the
most brilliant colors, and surpass "the double varieties in the profusion of their
bells. It may ia fact be said that they precede the double varieties, and thus in
16
a general collection extend the period during which we may enjoy the beautiesr
and fragrance of this delightful class of flowers.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE CULTURE OF BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS ROOTS.
Situation. — A southern aspect, dry and airy, and sheltered from the north
winds, is preferable for most bulbs ; but Anemones and Ranunculuses will do
better in a situation commanding a southern aspect, and vrhich can be protected
from the heat of noonday.
Soil.— The following compost is most suitable for the Hyacinth, Tulip, Crown
Imperial, Narcissus, Crocus, Snow Flake, Iris, Lily, Colchicum, Anemone,
Ranunculus, Snow Drop, and most other bulbs : — One-third sand, one-third well-
rotted cow-dang, and one-third good garden mould. " Let the beds thus formed be
well dug over to the depth of fifteen or eighteen inches, that the materials be well
mixed together ; a fourth part of rotten wood, or vegetable mould from a swamp,
rnay be added to the above^ if conveniently to be obtained, which will, at all
times, be beneficial in giving additional lightness to the soil.
The various species of the Amaryllis succeed best in a rich sandy loam ; and
the families of the Ixia, Oxalis, Feraria, Gladiolus, Antholyza, Lachenalia, and
most other Cape and Tropical bulbs, require the soil to be more sandy than for
the generality of other bulbs.
Forming the Beds.— The beds should be raised about four inches above the level
of the vvalks, and moderately arched, which will afford an opportunity for the
superfluous moisture to run off. Sand (either sea or fresh) strewed in the trenches,
before and after placing the roots, will be beneficial.
Time of Planting.— For the Hyacinth, Tulip, Crown Imperial, Squill, Lily,
Polyanthus Narcissus, Double Narcissus, Jonquil, Iris, Crocus, Colchicum, Star
of Bethlehem, Snow Drop, Snow Flake, Gladiolus, Allium, and most other
hardy bulbs, the preferable season for planting is the months of October and
November— and it is well to be observed, that the species of bulbs above named,
(Tulips excepted,) will thrive best if not taken from the ground oftener than
ever>' second or third year. The different species of the Feraria, Antholyza, Ixia.
Crmum, Heemanthus, Eucomis, the tender species of Amaryllis, Pancratium, and
Gladiolus, and most other delicate bulbs, may be planted during the months of
November and December, in pots, when intended to be sheltered during the
wmter, or they can be kept in dry sand until April or May, and then be planted
28
in pots, or in the open ground, when it has become free from frost, and perfectly-
settled.
iJep/.h and Distance. — Hyacinths, Persian Fritillary, Martagon, and other Lilies,
and Paeonies, should be planted at the depvth of four inches; Crown Imperials-
and Polyanthus Narcissus, five inches ; Tulips, Double and Single Narcissus,
Jonquils, Colchicums, Snow Flakes, Bulbous Iris, and Gladiolus, three inches;
Crocus, Arums, Small Fritillaries, and Snow Drops, two inches; Kanunculus
and Anemone, one and a half inches ; Dogstooth Violet, one inch ; always
measuring from the top of the bulb; The rows should be ten inches apart, and
the roots be placed from four to six inches apart in rows, according to their size.
Protection during Winter. — In the Middle and Northern States, it will on the
approach of winter, be beneficial, though not absolutely necessary, to cover the
beds with straw, tanners' bark, withered leaves, or light earth from the woods,
(such as is formed by the decay of foliage,) to the depth of two or three inches,
as it prevents any ill effects which a very severe season rnight have upon the
roots. This covering must be carefully raked off early in the spring. The
Polyanthus Narcissus, Hoop Petticoat Narcissus, and Arum Dracunculus, being" -
more tender than other species, require a covering of five or six inches of straw
or leaves in the manner above detailed.
Taking up Bulbs after Flowering. — About a month after the bloom is passed,
the foliage puts on a yellow decayed appearance. This is the proper season for
taking up the roots ; on doing which, the stem and foliage should be cut off
within an inch of the bulb, leaving the fibrous roots attached to it. After this
preparation, spread them singly in an airy room to dry, for two or three vi-eeks,
then wrap each root carefully in paper, (the air being injurious,) or put them in
dry sand, until replanted.
Anemone and Ranunculus. — The soil should be compact and rich, not light or
sandy. A stiff loamy soil suits them very vv'ell ; and with it there should be
mixed one fourth part of rotten manure, and, in doing this, the earth ought to be
well pulverized. In England they are planted about the 10th of February ; and
here they may with success be planted as early in the spring as the ground can
be worked. We have had them to succeed well when planted at the end of
October, or early in November, and protected during the winter with a covering
of straw and leaves, which was removed early in the spring. They will bear a
considerable degree of cold, but our intense frosts destroy them when not pro-
tected as above. They require a moist soil, but not over much so. Heavy rains
injure and rot them; and the ground selected should be such as does not retain
water and become sodden. In dry weather, they will require frequent waterings.
When the roots are taken up after blooming, they should be preserved in dry
sand till replanted.
Culture of Tender Bulbs in pots, comprising the Oxalis, Lachenalia, Txia,
Gladiolus, Antho'yza, etc. etc. — The management of these is extremely simple.
They should have as much light, sun, and air, as possible, and be kept free from
frost. When the foliage is past, and ^he roots consequently in a dormant state,
they can be either left in the pots, in a dry situation, without watering, or
be taken out and wrapped in paper, or packed in sand till the ensuing season,
at which period' they should be repotted in fresh soil, composed as already
detailed.
Cidture of the Amaryllis and; Tuberose.^The Amaryllis longifolia, (both rose
colored and white,) is extremely magnificent, and will support our winters by
planting the roots at the depth of six inches from the extremity of the neck of the
bulb. A southern exposure is much to be preferred, the warmer the better.
They will also flourish admirably if planted in a pond below the point of congela-
tion. The Amaryllis Formosissima, vitata, aurea, belladona, equestris, double
and single, reginae, psittacina, Johnsoni, gigantea, ignescens, and all the other
spring, summer, and autumn flowering species may, if preferred, be preserved
during winter in boxes of dry sand, and planted out in the open garden at the end
of April, or beginning of May, in a rich sandy loam, where they will bloom with
the utmost splendor. The different species of Zephyranthes, Crinum, and
Pancratium, will succeed admirably by the same course of culture. In planting
the above-named roots, place the bulb so that one-third of its diameter will be
above the surface of the ground. This is to apply to all, except the Amaryllis
formosissima or Jacobean Lily, which should have the bulb covered, leaving,
the neck only to project above the surface of the ground. Tuberoses, and the
Feraria tygridia, or Tiger flower, should be planted at the depth of one inch, the
numerous offsets on the former being first broken off to prevent their impoverish
29
tng the main root and arresting the bloom. The doriblc and striped leaved'
Tuberoses are greatly admired; the latter of these^ and the Common Single-
flowering, are more certain in their bloom than the double variety. The species
of Feraria are exceedingly beautiful, and therefore much admired.
Hyacinths and othet Bulbs in pots or glasses for winter blooming. — For this
purpose Single Hyacinths, and those de^^ignated as earliest among the^ Double,
are to be preferred. The Polyanthus Narcissus, Italian, or .Roman Narcissus,
Double Narcissus, Double and Single Jonquils, Persian Iris, Crocus, the vi'inter
and spring flovvering varieties of the Cyclamen, and the Double and Single Duke
van Thol Tulips, make also a fine appearance during the winter season. Bulbs
intended for blooming in pots during the winter, should be planted during the
months of October and November, and left exposed to the open air until the
ground begins to freeze, when they should be removed to the Greenhouse or to
a warm room. They will need occasionally moderate waterings before they
begin to vegetate, and when they attain to a growing state should receive a
plentiful supply by pouring it into the saucers. They should at all times be
exposed as much as possible to the sun, air, and light, to prevent their foliage
from growing too long, or becoming of a yellow hue. Bulbs cultivated after this
manner will mostly bloom in January, and next to the Hyacinth, the Polyanthus
Narcissus, and Double Italian, or Roman Narcissus, may be ranked among the
most desirable for beauty, fragrance, and easy culture.
Those intended for glasses should be placed in them about the middle of
November, the glasses being previously filled with pure water, so that the bottom
of the bulb may just touch the water : then place them for the first ten days in a
dark room, to promote the shooting of the roots, after which expose them to the
sun and light as much as possible. They will bloom, however, with little or no
sun, but the flowers will be inferior in color. The water should be changed as
often as it becomes impure,, at which period the roots ought to be drawn entirely
out of the glasses and rinsed in clean water, the glasses being at the same time
well washed inside. Rain or soft water is preferable to that termed hard, but
either will answer the purpose, provided it be perfectly clear. Bulbs that have
been forced are of but little value, and require a considerable period to regain
their natural vigor. When removed from the pots or glasses, they should be
immersed in water for a week, and then planted in a soil properly prepared, where
they will usually commence flowering again the second year.
DAHLIA, OR GEORGINA.
Few of our most rustic {>lants exact less care than this splendid native of
Mexico. Indeed, so simple is its culture, that it is already widely disseminated
in every part of Europe, as well as in the West Indies, South America, etc., in all
of which it has been found to succeed. It will thrive in any good soil, but as is
the case with other plants held in great estimation, amateurs bestow more care
on its culture than is absolutely required, and have adopted particular rules for
that object. The roots are tuberous, and towards the last of April they begin to
push out young shoots at the base of the stem of the previous year. At this
period, or in Mav, they should be planted ; they will, however, succeed perfectly
well if this is deferred till June, but will not come so soon into flowering. Plants
grown in pots should not be planted until the frosts have entirely subsided. In
England they usually, from choice, plant the Dahlia in poor, gravelly soil, m
order to render it more dwarf in stature, and this course may have its advantage
in a humid atmosphere. In our own country, however, where the heat of
summer is excessive, and where we are sometimes visited by severe drought, the
Dahlia would of^en be absolutely blighted, unless the soil were sufficiently rich
and retentive of moisture. When planted in a generous soil, our climate is so
extremely congenial to its habits, that it expands with the utmost luxuriance,
attaining a degree of beauty in its development, if not unequalled, at least not to
be surpassed.
For the gratification of amateurs, we annually plant specimen beds covering
two to three acres, comprising all the rarest varieties, for the purpose of inspection
and selection. It will be perceived that our collection is particularly rich in the
splendid Variegated, Mottled, Spotted, and Shaded varieties.
The course we have adopted for its culture, although extremely simple, has
been eminently successful, and the directions we shall now give are in accordance
therewith. Make the ground mellow to the depth of eighteen inches, digging in
It the same time a liberal supply of manure. Plant the dwarf kiuds at three, and.
30
the tall ones at four feet distant; and before placing the roots, dig in a shovel
full of manure at each hole destined to receive them. The root should be
placed two inches beneath the surface— measuring from the base of the old stem.
Most persons allov^^ but one stalk to grow, and of course select the strongest —
cutting away the weaker ones. When planted along a walk or avenue, a triple
range presents a very beautiful appearance, the most dwarf being selected for the
first row, those of greater stature for the second, and the tallest for the third row-
indeed this manner of arrangement may be extended to five or six rows. Another
mode is to plant them in clumps, either circular, square, or as the taste may
suggest, the tallest varieties being stlected for the centre. In either of these
arrangements, a judicious selection of the various colors is requisite, in order to
unite to their brilliant display, the advantage of a tasteful combination.
When the plants are about a foot high, a pole should be placed by each, pro-
portioned to the usual height it attains, which should be driven into the ground
about a foot from the stalk, so as not to interfere v/ith the roots. The poles or
stakes will necessarily vary from three to eight feet in height above the surface ;
and to be firmly placed, should penetrate the ground from twelve to eighteen
inches. Those for the taller plants will require of course to be of greater thick-
ness and strength than such as are designed for the more dwarf varieties. The
work of driving the poles may be more easily efi'ected immediately after a rain,
when the ground is moist.
As the plants advance in growth, it will become necessary to tie the stalks
firmly to the poles to guard against the effects of winds and storms. For this
purpose, conimon bass matting, or any other soft ligature is to be preferred. The
branches, being extremely brittle, are subject to be broken in severe gales when
not supported. Some persons train their Dahlias on a ti-ellis, which affords
security to every branch, and presents at the same time a fine effect. It is only
in very exposed situations that the extreme caution is required of tying every
branch ; and in cities and in other well sheltered locations far less care will
suffice in this respect. It is deemed beneficia.1 to trim oflf the lateral shoots
nearest the ground, to a certain height in proportion to the growth of the plant ;
say for dwarfs twelve inches, and for other varieties eighteen, increasing to
twenty-four inches for the tallest. Some cultivators thin out about half the
number of upper branches, in order to add to the strength of the remaining ones,
and to increase the size and beauty of the flowers.
Wintering Dahlias.— As soon as the frost has killed the tops, cut them off, take
up the roots, and dry them for two or three days in the sun, after which place
them on shelves in a cellar perfectly dry and free from frost, or ]>ack them in dry
sand, where they may remain until the period for spring planting. Moisture is
destructive to them, and in a damp cellar or room they are very liable to rot ;
but in a dry one not a single root will be injured, if kept free from frost.
Selection and Transportation. — When the selection is left to us, such an assort-
ment will be selected as will present a pleasing combination of color, form,
height^ etc. When packed dry for transportation from September to May, they
occupy so little space that a great number may be comprised in a small compass,
and they can thus be transported to any distance.
