ST. CATHARINES, U. C.
PRINTED BY HIRAM|«I.EAVENWORTH.
1841.
The difference of opinion, as to the proper size of trees for transplanting,
furnishes another reason why buyers should make their own selections.
Some of my varieties have attained the height of ten feet or more. And I
take a pleasure in stating, that among the many who have visited my Nur-
sery, there have been none who have not borne very flattering testimony to
their beauty and healthfuiness.
It may be proper to remark, that my trees are pruned very differently
from those of other Nurseries. I have reference to the leaving of a portion
of such branches as proceed from ihe body of the tree, to the extent of two
or three buds, instead of eiittiBg them closely, ts is tlie usual manner. My
reason for leaving these buds, is to favor the sending forth of new branches,
which greatly increase the strength and size of the trunk, enabling the tree
to stand erect, and support firmly the spreading branches designed for fruit.
After the trunk shall have attained this strength and size, it should be kept
closely pruned.
Should any one doubt the utility of this expedient, I would direct his at-
tention to the forest, where he will perceive the bodies of trees are very
much enlarged immediately below the place where any considerable branch
is sent off, and this increase of size extends to the root.
I have conunenced my Nursery on a liberal scale, having already about
fifteen acres of trees, in the different stages of cultivation ; and I intend to
&dd several acre? more in the spring ; but owing to the infancy of the un-
dertakijigi many of the varieties are yet too small for transplanting. I Mve,
therefore, made a division in my Catalogue, of the Apple, showing those
which have had three or more years growth, since they were ingrafted.
It may be well to observe, for the information of those who live at a
di3t4nce, that St. Catharines is situated on the Welland canal, which con-
nects lakes Erie and Ontario, affording good schooner transportation to any
of the ports on those lakes. AH trees forwarded, will be t^t the risk of the
purchasers.
Catalogues will be furnished, gratis. All communipations by mail, must
be post paid, to insure attention. C. BEADLE.

ADVERTISEMENT
In bringing the St. Catharines Nursery more fully into public notice,
by publishing a Catalogue, it may be necessary to state, that more difficul-
ties present themselves, in procuring and cultivating a choice collection of
Fruit trees, than may at first appear obvious to purchasers. Among these, a
judicious selection of varieties, is not the least. To aid me in this, I have
availed myself of the advice of experienced Nursery-men and growers of
fruit ; among whom, there are none to whom I am more indebted, than to
the late Hon. Jesse Buel, of Albany, who spareJ no efTorts in collecting the
most desirable fruits of America, Great Britain, and many places on the
continent.
Another difficulty is, the possibility of buying scions and trees that, by
mistake in cultivation, may not prove to be the kinds desired. To obviate
this, I have, as far as practicpble, taken my grafls from bearing trees ; and
I conceive myself fortunate in having obtained the greatest portion of my
scions from Judge Buel, who had them cut from his own orchard, under his
personal direction ; and the European varieties of Apple, he took from trees
he had himself imported frorr« the London Horticultural Society.
There is, however, cue circumstance that may lead to disappointments to
purchasers, which is leyond the power of Nursery-men to control ; and that
is, the diversity of names given to the same fruit, and which also vary in
different localities. As an instance of this, I will mention an Apple that
has long been known, in this place and vicinity, by the name of JVewtown
Pippin, which is a very large fine apple, and is in use from October to Janu-
ary; whiie the true Newtown Pippin does not come to perfection until
April. It is, therefore, necessary for purchasers to be as explicit as possi-
ble, in their orders ; and when it shall be practicable, it would be well for
them to visit the Nursery, where every effort will be made to meet their
wishes.

SHORT DIIIKCTIONS FUR THANSFM.ANTING.
Food is as necessary to the lioallli and growth of piaiUu, us it is to aiit-
nials. The bast rood tor plants, is ricli pulvorieed earth, or rather th«
vegetable matter which it contains. Tiiat your trees may live and thrive,
proceed as follows : — Dig for your trees, holes at leas', Ihree feet in diame-
ter, and eighteen inches deep ; and for shrubs, a proportionate size and
depth, throwing away the lowest spit of oorth. Then till up the hoio to a
proper height for setting the trne, with rich surface earth, or perfectly rot
tod manure, blended with four out of five parts of earth.* Set your tree,
and cover the surface with soil, treading down, when the roots are covered
with earth. See that the roots aro trimmed of all the bruised and broken
parts ; that they are separately extended in their natural direction ; that
fine earth every whore comes in contact with them. A potato or two, or a
gill of flax seed or oats, may be advantageously placed in the liole, before
the tree is set, and a pail of water turned in afler the hole is two-thirds
filled. The rich earth affords nutritive pasture for the young roots to range
in ; the potatoes, kc.'^keep the ground loose and moist, and enable then to
roam freely ; and the water brings the earth in contact with the roots, and
prevents them from becoming mouldy. Keep the ground free of grass, as
far as the roots extend ; for this exhausts the moisture and nutriment neces-
sary to the plant, and excludes from the roots air and heat, the indispensable
agents to vigorous growth. Treat your trees as you would favorite corn
hills, which you wish to make the most of, except give them no unrotted
dung. Washing with a strong ley, in May, will destroy insects, and pro-
mote the health and vigor of your trees.
To persons living remote, or who are unable to obtain their trees for
early spring planting, we recommend that they procure them in the autumn,
and lay them in by the heel, as Nursery-men technically lorm it ; which is
merely to dig a trench on a dry piece of ground, laying the earth on one
side— the trench wide enough to contain the roots ; put the roots into this,
close together, letting the stocks rest in an inclined position upon the bank
of earth, and then cover the roots and a part of the stocks with earth. In
this way they escape injury from the frosts of winter, and are in readiness
for early planting in the spring. Besides, better plants are generally ob
tained in the autumn than in the spring, after nurseries have been cuUed.-*
BueVs Catalogue.
* There should be some caution used, in preparing these "holes," where the
soil is a stiff clay. The loose earth with which they are to be filled, is liable to
become perfectly saturated with water ; and the surrounding clay being nearly
impervious, would retain too much moisture, to Uie injury, and, in many instan-
ces, the destruction of the tree. This may be obviated, where the declivity of
the earth is sufficient to drain the hole by cutting a small ditch, and filling it with
coarse gravel. C. Beadle.
