No. 5. Wholesale Catalogue, or Trade List, OF THE= SYRACUSE NURSERIES,= For the Autumn of 1859, and Spring of 1860. SMITH & HANCHETT. Proprietors. SYRACUSE, N. Y. The extent of this establishment,--now one of the largest in the United States,--the thorough manner in which its business is conducted, the excellence and variety of its production, the moderation of its prices, the convenience of its location, the completeness of its arrangements, and its facilites for the prompt execution and ready transmission of orders, give it claims upon the consideration of the public second to none other in the country. For the past recognition of these claims, as manifested in the liberal patronage we have received, we can best express our acknowledgments by taking care, so far as depends upon our personal action to deserce a continuance of it for the future. We confidently claim for our productions in general an excellence not surprassed by those of any other Nursery: In confirmation of which we are gratified to be able to offer the following unsolicited COMMENDATIONS : From H. H. Reynolds, Esq., Kingston, N. Y.: "Since I wrote you I have opened and planted the trees. They are the finest I have ever received from a Nursery." From J. T. Little, Esq,. Dixon, Ill. --"The trees were in fine order, and I must say they are the finest lot of trees I ever saw. Every article was all I could have asked." From J. E. Johnston, Esq., Trenton, N. J.--"The trees, plants, and seedlings are all exceedingly find indeed." From James A. Boutelle, Esq., Union, Cal.--" The trees and plants opened in find condition. But very few will perish. The Roses are not only all alive, but are exulting in the change of climate. One word about the packing. The person who performed the work should be retained if for no other business. The best piece of work of the kind I ever saw opened." From Moses Bates, Jr., Esq., Plymount, Mass.--"The trees I received from your Nursery were decidedly the best of any I received last spring." From Wm. Stevenson, Esq., Guelph, C. W.-- "The Blubs, Roses, and Carnations were in fine condition. I certainly received a lesson in packing small stuff, for I never saw it equalled." In making up their orders purchasers will please bear in mind the following TERMS OF SALE. FIRST---The prices in this Catalogue must be understood to refer inflexibility to the quantity specified. SECOND.---The selection of varieties must be left to us [We pledge ourselves, however, that the wishes of our correspondents shall be observed as nearly as may be; and that our selections, otherwise, shall be mostly of the best leading popular sorts, with more or less of the rarer kinds, according to our ability to supply them.] THIRD.---When cash is not paid on delivery, a satisfactory note or acceptance, payable at bank, will always be required. FOURTH.---The expense of packing must invariably be at the charge of the purchaser. FIFTH.---All responsibility on our part, as to the safety and condition of things purchased of us, must cease on their delivery to the Forwarders in this City. We desire correspondents also to consider these SUGGESTIONS. FIRST.---Let your name, place of residence, county, and state, always be legibly given. SECOND.---Give particular directions as to the mode, route, and line, by which you wish your packages transported, and to whose care you would have them consigned. We must otherwise be governed in these matters by our own judgement. THIRD.---We desire to be informed immediately of the occurrence of any error, omission, or oversigth, should any be chargeable to us, that it may be corrected at once. FOURTH,---In forwarding remittances, let it be done by Check or Draft, drawn payable to our order FIFTH.---We would recommend distant customers to procure their trees in the Autumn; protecting them through the winter, if the climate demands it, by burying them entirely in the earth. This is better than to do things by halves, as it is equally and certainly effectual against both frost and mice; the latter often being quite as destructive as the former.

POSTSCRIPT. It is usually the case that we have a considerable number of Fruit Trees, which, (either because they are not strictly first class, chiefly through some fault of form, or because they occupy ground which it is necessary for us to clear off,) we would sell at a very material reduction from our regular prices. We have at present, under these circumstances, a quantity of Standard and Dwarf Pear Trees, 2 and 3 years old, equal to the best in health and vigor, and certain to prove as satisfactory to the planter in the end as those now more symmetrical in shape, to which we invite the attention of Nurserymen and tree dealers. They may rely upon obtaining these trees at a much greater per cent cent discount from the regular stock prices, than actually exists between the real value of the trees of the two classes. The varieties are mostly well known, popular, and desirable.
