Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prince's Descriptive Catalogue of Roses, 1846 and 1847: Comprising the Most Extensive Collection in America, Cultivated for Sale at the Great Original Establishment, Prince's Linnaean Garden and Nurseries, Flushing, Near New-York
Applications for Roses can be made by simply designating the Cata logue number of each (without the name, ) and mentioning the edition from which the selection is made. In a collection so very extensive, it sometimes happens that the demand for particular varieties exhausts the supply of a few kinds for the moment, and it is well, therefore, that a few additional varieties be named in the order, to be sent in lieu of any such deficiency. Where purchasers desire a certain number of each class, and are not themselves sufficiently conversant, they can leave the selection of the varieties to us, and we will execute - the trust faithfully. The general collection is cultivated in the open ground, but we at all times keep a few thousand plants in pots, composed of a selection from Classes 1. To X. The latter are less strong and vigorous than the former, but are well suited for conveyance when the others cannot be removed.
Orders (post paid) must in all cases be sent direct to us, or through an Agent expressly authorized by our written authority, and every invoice will be accompanied by our printed heading and signature. We caution the public against spurious Trees and Plants, said by the vendors to emanate from us.
