Descriptive catalogue of ornamental trees, plants, vines, fruits, Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seedlings Catalogs. H E MoRRisviLLE Nursery is near Morrisville, Bucks Co., Pa., a small town on the Philadelphia and New Yoi'k division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the terminus of their new s/wr/^ cut to t}ie West, called the "Trenton Cut-off ; The nursery and specimen grounds are plainly visible from this new road, on the north side of the track, about one mile from the junction. The city of Trenton is two miles distant across the Delaware river. There are about twenty-five trains per day from that city to New York and Philadelphia, over the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Rail- road Company's Bound Brook route. Carriages are always in waiting at both depots. To reach the nursery from either of the Trenton stations, cross the river over the Loiuer Iron bridge and keep straight out the Fallsington road miles.

In the arrangement of this catalogue considerable pains has been taken to make it nearly cor- rect according to modern botanical classification and at the same time adapted to the popular needs of those who are unfamiliar with scientific names.
