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 the
finest foreign collections, and are remarkable for their size, beauty and

Keculiarity, and for the delicacy of their tints. In the selection no expense
as 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 vv^ere imported, and the prices are greatly rcdvced, and arc lover IhoAt
have ever before been offered to 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 retai!
prices. ^

At the conclusion of the present Tlatalcgue the necessary directions are given
for their culture, &c.

Where the prices are by assortment, or by the dozen, the selection of the
varieties is to be made by the proprietors ; but if applicants will name such as
they already possess, those varieties will be omitted in the selection.

Note. — Above ICO other varieties of

1 QO\kinds are desired.

SINGLE HYACINTHS.

In regard to Single Hyacinths an incorr-^ct prejudice exists, arising from the
fact that their p -culiar merits are but little known. For early floicering, and
particularly lor g'rtsjcs or ;)o/.s, they are extremely desirable: tKev conibiiie the
niost briliiiint rriours, and surpass the double vaiieties in the profusion of their
bells It may m fact be said that they precede the double varieties, and thus in
a general collection extend the period during whith we may enjoy the beauties
and fragrance of this delightful class of flowers.

PEONIES— Pivomes.
No class of flowers has lately attracted more attention in Europe than this, a
menograph of which has been published in London. Everj^ variety will sup-
port the winters of the United States and Canada. Most of the varieties are
extremely splendid, and others possess striking peculiarities. Anticipating that
a similar taste would be evinced in this country, the proprietors have, by great
exertion obtained every variety possible.

CARNATIONS, PICOTEES, &c.
The prprietors have the gratification to announce that they have, by great
pains, and at great expense, at length succeeded in obtaining 130 varieties of the
most splendid Carnations, and Picotees, that the European gardens possess, whic^i
added to their previous assortment, forms now a collection of above 200 varieties.
In some cases they have imported a hundred plants without saving more than
one to six alive. A distinct Catalogue of this magnificent collection will be sent
to those who desire it.

PRIMROSES, POLYANTHUS, AURICULAS, AND CHRYSANTHEMUMS.*
The collections of these delightful classes of flowers have been greatly
Siugmented, and now form a combination of all the most esteemed varieties.

184© & 1843,

PRINCES'
SELECT CATALOGUE

OF THE

MOST SPLE^OfO SOOBLE DAHLIAS,

This magnificent plant bids fair to rival in splendor and in diversity the far-
famed Tulip and 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 ! Most persons are not aware how simple
are the means necessary to their preservation during winter. When the frost
has destroyed the foliage, nothing more is required than to cut off the stalks two
or three inches from the ground, and to take up the roots and put them in boxes
of dry sand in a cellar or any other place free from frost, there to remain until
spring, without further care. Indeed, the Proprietors have, for the five past
winters, kept their stock quite dry and without sand.

The coUectioii here offered is unrivalled in extent and beauty, and combines
the most magnificent varieties of each class; it being a concentration of the
most choice and interesting that could be selected from the principal establish-
ments of Europe. The most of them have taken premiums at the Floral Exhi-
bitions in Europe, and many of them were imported at a cost of one to five
Guineas each, and very many at half a Guinea each. It will be perceived that
the catalogue is particularly rich in the splendid Variegated, Striped, Mottled,
and Shaded varieties, and others of the first class, and most vivid and brilliant
colors.

Of the older kinds above 400 varieties are in our collection, but which have
been omitted, from a desire to combine in the present catalogue, only the most
select and to curtail its extent.

In addition to the usual course of obtaining the newest kinds offered for sale
in the catalogues of foreign Florists, the proprietor has made arrangements with
several amateurs abroad to furnish him with their most interesting varieties
previous to their '' coming out'" in Europe ; and it is to this arrangement that he
13 indebted for a large number of the very splendid varieties comprised in his
catalogues of the last and present year, although obtainable nov/here else in our
country. The present collection may with justice, therefore, be said to consti-
tute the acme to which this favorite flower has yet attained. Other new varieties
are continually accumulating, and Supplementary Catalogues, containing the
additional kinds, will be published in March and October of each year.

Specimen beds containmg many thousands of plants comprising two acres, are
annually planed for the inspection of amateurs, which will be extended by addi-
tions of all the most choice new varieties that foreign countries and our own may
present, thereby affording ample facilities for personal examination and selection,
to those who desire it.

A large stock will be regularly cultivated in pots, so as to be ready for trans-
portation at any period desired, and more than 10,000 drv roots and plants in pots
can be delivered the present season. The dry roots can be supplied immediately,
and will be packed so as to ensure success.

The plants m pots can be delivered after the 15th April, and can be trans-
planted successfully until the beginning of July, but they should not be planted
until all frosts have subsided and the earth has attained a genial warmth-
It may be asserted without fear of contradiction, that at no period since the
^a of the famed Tulipo-mania, has the attention of the votaries of Flora beea

20

»o univerpallv 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 difficulty as
regards the new varieties. These commence blooming the middle of June, and
continue until arrested by frost, our fine American autumn being particularly
favorable to their development. The new varieties produce also a much greater
profusion of flowers than the older sorts.

Kivalling a.s 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
is not tlistant, when the number of viineties will surpass that of either the
Hyacinth, 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, &c., in the same manner as the Carnation ; the
connoiscpurs, without doubt, becoming quite as fastidious in regard to the form-
ation of the petals, as they now are in respect to the last named flower.

A discount will be made to those who purchase largely, and to Nurseries and
other venders as stated at the latter part of the present Catalogue, and it will
also be perceived that the prices are much lower than usually charged, the great
and increasing stock enabling us to offer them on these favorable terms, and
also to select superior roots. The rates for assortments of Dahlias will be found
at the end of the Catalogue.

It seems scarcely necessary here to add, that the deceptive practice of ingraft-
ing the double varieties on roots of the single kinds, is never prac.iced by us.

Where the selection is left to us, such an assortment will he selected as will
form a pleasing combination of color, form, height, &c. When packed dry,
which can be done from October to May, they occupy so liitle space, that a
great number may be ccmprieed in a sm-all compass, and they can be thus safely
transported to any distance. During ihe residue of the year they can be trans-
ported in pots, or by enveloping the roots in moss, and packing tliem properly in
accordance with the dittance, &c.

All orders are to he addressed to Wm. R. Prince, Flushins;.
JYew-York, and no other j^erson in this town is authorized to
receive any orders for this Establishment.

DAHLIAS IN ASSORTMENTS, &c.
Those who order assortments of Dahlias, to be selected by the proprietors,
should state the kinds they already possess ; in which case those varieties will
be omitted. The prices are rated much lower on account of their retaining the
privilege of sending suoh as they have the largest stock of ; and in doing this,
the purchaser receives quite as beautiful varieties as he could select himself, but
at much less rates. It is the determination of the proprietors, that their customers
shall be supplied, in all cases, on the most favorable terms. Dry roots can be
supplied from October to May, and they will be packed so as to bear transporta.
tion safely any distance.

Directions for the Culture of Bulbous and Tuberous Roots.

SitiMtion. — A southern aspect, dry and airy, and sheltered from the north
winds, is preferable for moet bulbs ; but Anemones and Ranunculuses will do
better in a situation commanding a southern aspect, and which 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-
rooted cow'dung, 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
ewamp, may 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 loani ; and
tlie families of the Ixia, Oxalis, Feraria, Gladiolus, Antholy/a, 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 walks, and moderately arched, which will afi'ord 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.

^ime of Planting.— Y ox 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
every second or third year. The different species of the Feraria, Antholyza, Ixia,
Crinum, Heemanthus, Eucomis, the tender species of Amaryllis, Pancratium, ana
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
winter, or they can be kept in dry sand until April or May, and then be planted
in pots, or in the open ground, when it has become free from frost, and perfectly
settled.

Depth and Distance. — Hyacinths, Persian Fritillary, Martagon, and other Lilies,
and Pasonies, should be planted at the depth 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; Ranunculus
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 m rows, according to their size.

Protection during Winter — In the Zxliddle 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 might have upon the
roots. This covering must be carefully raked off' early in the spring. The
Polyanthus Narcissus, Hoop Petticoat iNarcissus, and Arum Dracunculus, being
more tender than other species, require a covering of five or six inches of stiaw
or leaves in the manner above detailed.

Taking up Bidbs after Flmoei-ing. — 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 weeks,
then wrap each root carefully in paper, (the air being injurious,) or put them in
dry sand, until replanted.

Ammone and Ranuncidus. — The soil should be compact and rich, not light or
sandy. A stiff loamy soil suits them very well ; 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 1(Hh of February; and
here they may with succe.?s 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 or leaves, which was removed early in the spring. They will bear a
con.siderable degree of cold, but our intense frosts destroy them when not
protected 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 Wf^ather, they will require frequent
waterings. When the roots are taken up after blooming, they should be pre-
served in dry sand till replanted.

Culture of Tender Bulbs in vols, comprising the Oxalis, Laclienalia, Jxia,
Gladiolus, Antholyza, etc. etc. — The management of these is extremely simple
They should have as much light, sun, and air, as possible, and be kept free fj .ai
frost. When the foliage is past, and the roots consequently in a dormant state,
they can be either left in the pots, in a dry situation, witnout 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.

Cull ure of the Amaryllis and Tuberose. — The Amaryllis longifolia, (both rose
colored and white.) is extremely niagnificent, and will sup|}or£ our winters by

Elantlng the roots at the depth of six inches from the extremity of the neck of the
'lib. 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 Formosi-Bsima, vitata, aurea, belladona, equestiis, double
and single ; reginae, psittacina, Johnsoni, gigantea, ignescens, and all the other
spring, summer, and autumn flowering species may, if preferred, be preserved

3*

30

.during winter in boxes of dry sand, and planted out in the open garden at the
-end of April, or beginning of Mayj in a rich sandy loam, where they will blocm
with the utmost splendor. The difierent 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
Formossissima 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 oftsets on the former being first broken oflfto prevent their impoverish-
ing the main root and arresting the bloom. The double 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
oi Feraria are exceedingly beautiful, and therefore much admired.

Hyacinths and other Bulbs in pots or glasses fw winter blooming. — For this
purpose Single Hyacinths, and those designated 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 winter
and spring flowering 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
Jhe 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 f)uiposfc, 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 cgain the second year.

Dahlia, or Geor^ina. — Few of our most rustic plants exact less care than this
splendid native ot 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, &c., 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 t<wards
the last (H April they begin to push out young shoots at the base of the stem of
the previous year. At this period, or in May^ they should be planted ; they will,
however, succeed perfectly well if this is deferred till June, but will not come sp
soon into flowering. In England they usually, from choice, plant the Dahlia in
poor, gravelly soil, in 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 often be absolutely blighted, unless the soil
were sufficiently rich and retentive of mni.'-ture. \Vhen 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
Uiiequalled, at least not to be surpassed.

The course we have adopted for its culture, although extremely simple, has
been einiuently successful, and the directions we shall now give are in accordance
therewith- Make the ground tnellow to the depth of eighteen inches, digging in

31

at the same time a liberal supply of manure. Plant the dwarf kinda at three, and
the tall ones at four feet distant ; and before placing the roots, dig in a shovel full
of manure at the top of 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 allow 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 selected 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 a tasteful combination.

When the plants are about a foot high, a P9le should be placed by each,
proportioned to the usual height it attains, which should be driven into the
ground about a foot from the stalk, so as not to interfere with the roots. The
poles or stakes will necessarily vary from three to eight teet 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 thickness and strength than such as are designed for the more dwarf
varieties. The work of driving the poles may be more easily eflected imme-
diately 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 efiects of winds and storms. For this
purpose, common 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. tSome persons train their Dahlias on a trellis, which afibrds
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 beneficial to trim ofl' 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. — Our practice is exceedingly simple. As soon as the frost
has killed the tops, we cut them ofl', and take up the roots, and dry them for two
or three days in the sun, after which we place them on the shelves in a cellar,
perfectly dry and free from frost, where they 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 it is kept
free from frost.

The following method to preserve Dahlias through the winter, is sometimes
adopted in Denmark. When the foliage and flowers of the plant have been
destroyed in October, the stalks are cut down about a foot from the ground, and
the earth drawn up round with a hoe. They stand thus until the beginning of
November, (unless the cold should be so severe as to endanger the roots,) that
the tubers may become as ripe as possible ; they are then dug up and placed in a
trench in the garden, with earth between them, and a layer of earth over them.
A covering of sea -weed, horse manure or leaves, is then thrown over, sufficient
to exclude the frost. Here they remain until the time of planting in spring.
Dahlias thus wintered grow mucli stronger than those kept in the common
manner. It is necessary that a diy spot be selected for their winter location.

AZALEA BELGIC^, INDIC^ AND SINENSIS.
The greatest attention has been paid to a selection of the most splendid
varieties of the above classes of the Azalea family, and the collection now
comprises above 200 varieties, the most brilliant in color, and beautiful in
development, a distinct Catalogue of which is now in preparation for amateurs.
Twelve varieties, half of the Indica, and half of )he Belgian varieties, will be
supplied for $8. Twenty-five varieties for $'12,

FRUIT TREES OF NEW AND RARE VARIETIES.

lu addition to the immense assortment of the choicest Fruits of every class
embraced in the 32d edition of the General Catalogue, we have obtained all the
other noted Belgic varieties originated by Professor Van Mons and others, and
all the most select varieties recently noticed and recommended by the London,
and other European Horticultural Societies, and also every superior variety
comprised in the collection of the late Robert Manning, a Supplementary
Catalogue of which will be sent to those who desire it, and grafts as well as
trees will be supplied.

In all cases. Specimen Trees are planted in our experimental orchards, and as
nearly all the varieties contained in our Catalogues have borne fruit and been
thus proven in our grounds, and many of them also in the grounds of our late
esteemed friend Robert Manning, between whom and ourselves a continual
correspondence has existed on the subject of our mutual experiments and
discoveries, we do not hesitate to pronounce our collection of Fruits as
unrivalled in accuracy and in excellence by any other in this country or in
Europe.

We have prepared explanatory notes as to the qualities of the various fruits,
which we shall give to the public ere long in a condensed work, far more com-
prehensive and at less expense than any work on Pomology that has ever yet
appeared.

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 than they are obtainable elsewhere. It should neverthe-
less be understood that a similarity or diminution in price does not in all cases
constitute cheapness. The first 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 whether these are well grown and of

E roper size, or on the other hand mere offsets or small specimens. It is in these
ighly important points that this ancient Establishment possesses preeminent
advantages, derived from the abundant stock of strong and well-grown Trees
aud Shrubbery, and also from the opportunities which time and investigation
have afforded for proving the accuracy and excellence of the Fruits, and the
beauty and value of the Ornamental Shrubs, &c. 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 m regard to the prices charged, as in
many other important particulars.

CIRCULAR TO THE PROPRIETORS OF NURSERIES.
In addition to the Ti^es, Shrubbery, &c. of all kinds enumerated in our
Catalogues, which are offered 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 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 departments, and a Catalogue rated according to size and
quantity will be s«nt to applicants.

CAUTION.— A person by the name of Winter, and another by the name of
Garretson, have been making use of the title of this Establishment without any
authority, and the public are cautioned against the deception.
