GARDEN AND GREENHOUSES AT ASTORIA, LONG ISLAND, SIX MILES FROM NEW-YORK, On the Banks of the Hast River, near Hurlgate. oc “ As Gardening has been the inclination of kings and the choice of philoso- phers, so it has been the favourite of public and private men; a pleasure of the greatest, and the care of the meanest: and indeed an employment and profession for which no man is too high nor too low.” ~.

Prove seeds by sowing ¢ a few ina small pot or box of light loose earth, and placing it in a warm room, exposed to the sun: keep the earth moist, and if the seed is good, it will vegetate in a reasonable time, except peas and beans, which should be tried by sowing a few in the open ground. The bug-holes frequently seen in peas, are not occasioned by age, but are the work of an insect, which deposits its eggs in the flower, and matures with the pea; when it eats its way out at the side, leave ing the eye of the pea uninjured ; this of course does not destroy its vesetating power. If the seeds do not grow after being tried as above, they-emay be © returned, when they will be replaced with other seeds, or the money refunded. JAMES M. THORBURN & Co. » = ae 4 PREFACE. In arranging the materials for this Catalogue, the subscribers have thought it most convenient for reference to keep ‘the Vegetables toge- gether, and to place the directions for their cultivation immediately afterwards ; and inthe same manner with the Flowers and the Green- house department. The collection of bulbous flowers has been ‘greatly enriched by many new and fine varieties from Holland ; and among the Dahlias will be found the latest and most splendid kinds originated i in England; whose gardeners, it is well known, are celebrated for their skill in floricul- ture. The additions to their ‘Camellias and Geraniums, are of the most rare and me, oe description. They have procured many new and beautiful Annuals and Biennials ; and their collection of Kitchen Gar- den Seeds contains evéry useful kind of Vegetable, cultivated either in private gardens, or for the market. The whole of which they take this opportunity of recommending to their friends and the public, with the assurance that they may alwé ays rely on being served with the best and most genuine articles. The following sensible observations are so well expressed on the beneficial effects of flower culture, that they take great pleasure in giving them a place here. ‘ “The interest which flowers have excited in the breast of man, from the earliest ages to the present day, have never been confined to any particular class of society, or quarter of the globe. Nature seems to have distributed them over the whole world, to serve as a medicine to the mind, to give cheerfulness to the earth, and to furnish agreeable sensations to its inhabitants. ‘The savage of the forest, in the joy of his heart, binds his brow with the native flowers of the woods, whilst taste for their cultivatio increases In every country, in proportion as the blessings of civilization extend. ‘From the humblest cottage enclosure, to the most extensive park and grounds, nothing more conspicuously. bespeaks the guod taste of the possessor than a well cultivated flower garden; and it may very generally be remarkedy that when we behold an humble tenement surrounded with ornamental plants, the possessor is a man of correct habits, and possesses domestic comforts; whilst on the contrary, a neglected, weed grown garden, or its tetal absence, marks the indo- lence and unhappy state of those “who have been thus neglectful of Flora’s favors. ‘¢ Of all the luxurious Y ditechean that of fowers is the most inno~ cent. Itis productive not only of rational gratifications, but of many advantages of permanent character. Love ‘for a garden has a power- ful influence in attracting men to their homes; and, on this account, <= * + Z 1V a PREFACE. : every encouragement given to increase a taste for ornamental garden- ing, is additional security for domestic comfort and happiness. It is likewise a recreation which conduces materially to health, promotes civilization, and softens the manners and tempers of men. It creates a love for the study of nature, which leads to a contemplation of the mysterious wonders that are displayed in the vegetable world around us, and which cannot be investigated without inclining the mind towards a just estimate of religion, and a knowledge of the narrow limits of our intelligence, when compared with the incomprehensible _ power of the Creator. ‘‘ Flowers are of all embellishments, the most beautiful; and of all created beings, man alone seems capable of deriving any enjoyment from them. ‘The love for them commences with infancy, remains the delight of youth, increases with our years, and becomes the quiet amusement of our declining days. The infant can no sooner walk, than its first employment isto plant a flower in the earth, removing it ten times an hour to wherever the sun seems to shine most favourable. The schoolboy, in the care of his little plot of ground, is relieved of his studies, and loses the anxious thought of the *home he has left. In manhood our attention is generally demanded by more active duties, or more imperious, and perhaps lessinnocent occupations ; butas age obliges us to retire from public life, the love of flowers and the delight of a garden, return to soothe the later period of our life. ‘“‘ To most. persons, gardening affords delight as an easy and agree- able occupation; and the flowers they so fondly rear, are cherished from the gratification they afford to the organs of sight and sense; but to the close observer of nature, and the botanist, beauties are un- folded and wonders displayed, that cannot be detected by the careless attention bestowed upon them by the multitude. “Tn their growth, from the first tender shoots which rise from the earth, through all the changes which they undergo, to the period of their utmost perfection, he beholds the wonderful works of creative power ; he views the bud as it swells, and looks into the expanded blossom, delights in its rich tints, and fragrant smell, but above all, he feels a charm in contemplating movements and regulations, before _ which all the combined ingenuity of man dwindles into nothingness.” JAMES M.

The following observations on the delightful influences excited by the cultivation of flowers, are so well expressed, and so true to experience, that I cannot refrain from inserting them in this place. “The interest which flowers have excited in the breast of man from the earliest ages to the present day, has never been confined to any particular class of society, or quarter of the globe. Nature seems to have distributed th: m over the whole world, to serve as a medicine of the mind, to give cheerfulness to the earth, and to fur- nish agreeable sensations to its inhabitants. “The savage of the forest, in the joy of his heart, binds his brow with the native flowers of the woods, whilst a taste for their culti- vation increases in every country, in proportion as the blessings of civilization extend.

The Peonia whiteleji, humei, and fragrans, are very fine; the flowers are large, and as double as a cabbage rose. It often happens that twelve or fif- teen flowers open at once, and present a truly beautiful spectacle. They are nearly hardy, and require no other protection than an armlul of straw or salt hay thrown on the eround in December, and removed again about the middle of March. The Pwonia hanksia is a shrubby variety, generally at- taining the height of three or four feet. As they show the flower buds by the end of March, they are very apt to be injured by the frosts of April. It is well therefore to cover this plant with an empty cask, having a pain of glass in the top. With this little precaution, you will never fait to have a fine bloom about the middle of May. ‘The same remarks apply to the Pzonia papaveracea. MISCELLANEOUS SORTS. each dozen.

Stages to As- toria run several times a day from Chatham street, opposite the City Hall. A steamer also plies from Fulton Market twice a day. . At almost any season of the year visiters will find something in bloom worthy of attention. The Camellia Japonicas_ are in the highest perfection during February. The finest kinds only are cultivated, and they have been selected from the best collections in Europe. The Camellia is becoming a universal favorite, owing to its beautiful habit of growth and splendid flowers at a season of the © year when the Greenhouse would otherwise be comparatively barren of showy flowers. Itis of easy culture, requiring a good sandy loam, tolerable moisture, and to avoid placing the plants in a sunny exposure during the summer months, as this materially injures the foliage, turning it to a rusty brown. Camellias should, from June to September, not have the sun longer than 10 o’clock in the morning: frequent sprinkling the leaves with a finely pierced waterID pot is serviceable ; but syringing them daily witha greenhouse syringe, will not only keep off insects, but ereatly strengthen the plant, and enable it to retain the flower buds till the time of flowering: when these form in clusters of three or four, it is advisable to take off all but the one terminating the branch, as it will be much finer than if allowed to flower in amass. _ Roses, of which the assortment is not as numerous as select, are in general bloom from the 15th May to 10th of June. Geraniums, during June.

The Cactii genus, many of which are very splendid, as also the - Fuchsias, are in bloom from May to Angust. 4 The Dahlias are in general flower from the 20th August to the Ist October; and it is admttted by all who have ever Visited them during their bloom, that they are altogether unrivalled in this country, and perhaps it would not be asserting too much to say that in no single collection in England can so many of the choicest kinds be seen, owing to the jealousy of the English gardeners with each other, but who willingly dispose of their latest seedlings when to-come to this country. Many of these cost from five to ten guineas each when imported, and are first shown in this country in thiscollection. The subscribers seldom or ever enter their Dahlias for competiton at the shows given in this eity, it being their wish that their private patrons — - should carry off these honours. Those who may think the above description overdrawn, are invited to call and pass judgment any time after the 17th of September. Those who make a selection from a personal examination of any plant grown at this establishment, ‘may depend on being furnished _ with the precise variety they select, and they will be forwarded at the proper season, carefully packed, to any part of the United States or Lhe West Indies.
