From the Ohio Cultivator. Peddlers of Pratt Trees.

Several correspondents in different parts of! Ohio, Lave informed us that tbeir counties are being canvassed by numerous pretended amenta of extensive nurseries in the State of Jew York, for the purpose of procuring or ders for fruit trees, to be delivered next fall; and our opinion is asitea lor in relation to toe reliability of these agents, and whether it is' as safe to entrust orders to them as to send , ,t , ,i T7 . x" . directly to the tAstern is ursenes. 1 From what we have heard of the tncks of some of thehe men, we feel in duty bound to caution our readers against them. We presume that some of them are honest, and are really agents for the establishments for which they solicit orders, but if strangers to us we should want to examine closely their credentials before trusting them with osr orders. The following article, abridged from the Horticulturist (or the past month, is very time ly and to the point; especially as it comes ( from the pen of one who is acquainted wilh all the tricks of the trade: j HINTS TO TBS PCRCHA8SI. OF TREKS. j No pursuit or profession in life, however! uneful or honorable it may be, or however pur- i ifying and ennobling its tendencies, is wholly j exempt from the evils of dishonesty. Not j even the most sacred of all human vocations j run tifAriA thia mifcfikrttina. Will tnr ona I wonder, then, that there should be dishonest nurserymen and seedsmen, and dishonest dealers in trees, plants, and flowers? Surely not. A crreat deal has been said about the dishonesty of nurserymen, seedsmen and ! florists; but if a rigid comparison were made between them and ony other class of dealers, ! we care not which, we have not the slightest i hesitation in saying that the result would show that no other branches of trade are on the whole, conducted with greater honesty and fairness. It may be said that we are an interested party in this case, and therefore not competent to judge; but we take it upon us to say that we are. We believe we are as well acquainted with those who are engaged : in horticultural commerce in the United btates, : a most other men; and, on the strength of this , knowlege, we are willing to place them, for ! honesty of purpose, for energetic and indua- j triou.t habits, and the general usefulness of their lives, against any other class. We have no desire to make invidious distinctions or ' comparisons, or put one class or profession: against another, but we would remind those who are ever prating about the tricks of nurserymen and seedsmen, that there may be as many short-comings chargable against their own calling. Who does not hear, every day ; of l is life, about false weights and short meas- ' tires? Look at the imposition practised by the manufacturers of all sorts of cloths, by ; the substitution of one material for another, , so that a person who is not thoroughly skilled i in all their devices, is sure to be aheated. Look at the thousand deceptions in articles of food and drink in tea, coffee, sugar, wines arid liquors of all sorts and in tobacco. In-' deed, one can scarcely think of an article, I whether of use or luxury, that can safely bo bought from a stranger by an inexperienced i person. ' Let us not be understood as justifying the ; frauds or errors of nurserymen or seedsmen;! far be it from us to do any such thing. We 1 shall rather expose and condemn them. But it should be remembered that it is an easy i matter for them to make mistakes, and exceed- j ingly dillicut to avoid them. They are haud- j ling a great number of varieties of the same j article, and their sales huddled into a fewj weeks, renders impossible that leisure and i circumspection which can be given to ordin- ; ary trade. A boy enstrusted to attach a label, j may get it on the wrong tree or package, and j the error may escape- notice until too late. , In packing, which must be entrusted to workmen, there are many chances for mistakes even wlnci tliat miut riiMi! nurveillanct) is Lent up. Indeed, throughout the whole routine of their business in propagating, digging, labelling, and packing there are an almost infinite number of small operations which re-,. quire exactness, and all of which expose to ! error. Bu charitable, then, and do not call j every error a trick or a cheat. Every year ' cur professional nurserymen and seedsmen , are becoming more systematic and more careful, as well as more discriminating and skill-' ful, and thus the chances for error are rapid ly decreasing, except among new beginners. who have everything to learn. Tliere is growing up, howerer, in this coun- j a system of dealing for which respecta-! ble nurserymen are not responsible, and to which it is our present purpose to call attcn- 1 tiou. The extraordinary growth of horticul-1 tural commerce within the past few years, has j attracted the attention of that class of specu- j lating iudividuals who are erer on the lookout for a profitable field of operations men ; who are peddling grave-stones to-day, light- j iiing-rods to-morrow, patent medicines the next day, and so on from one things to another. The country is filled with dealers m trees and plants. Beyond a doubt many of them are hoiuv-t and honorable men who may fairly bo trusted; but it is equally true that rery many of them lack honesty, and will not hesitate to misrepresent and deceive wherever they consider deception necessary to success. We have in our hands most ample evidence of this. Letter upon letter has been for some time past addressed to us tipon this subject from all parts of the country, beesiusr us to expose the frauds, and propose some remedy. - r. i- j ww " , . xut wnat can we ao. Xbe woria is lull of. credulous people, ever ready to be made vie-! tims to tha crafty stories of unscrupulous j rogues. people who read but little, and whomour warnings will never reach, and who, even if they did, would give them no heed, peopie whom even dear-bought experience would! fail to teach wisdom. They are the penny wise and pound -foolish, who will run a thou-. sand risks of being cheated for a sin He cnance 01 maung a gooa Darjain. A short, time ago a gentleman from one of our East-! ct u "s . .uijianw wr m per-, son who he said bad sold large quantities) of apple tree in hit neighborhood, representin? himself to be the proprietor of one of the ' oldest and most extensive nurseries in West-' era New York, and representing also that his trees were propagated by some superior method which was known to him only, and which gave them a decided superiority over trees grown in the ordinary way. On inquiry, we found this man did not own a single foot of , ,v s 0 ... iaua, naa never Decn nurseryman, nor had' he any interest whavever ia any nursery establishment, but bought such trees as he could make the largest profit on. He was a crafty rogue, however, pretended more than ordinary piety-, and victimized the religious people of INew England handsomely. A few weeks ago a nurseryman of Rochester received intelligence that he was represented in some parts of Ohio by a person whclalmed to be his agent and ton, while be not only did not know such a person, but had never seen him or heard of him before, and he was compelled to incur the trouble and expense of advertising him as an itaposter. Is not this a high-handed piece of deception to be attempted in such a business, and amoa an intelligent people? The man who wflT do such a thing is not a particle better than he who

counterfeits a bank bill of a silver dollar, or who will forge a signature to a bank cbeck. We nave it from perfectly it-liable authority, that a company of tree dealers, hailing from Ohio, purchased at a small nursery in Western New York a quantity of seedling unworked fruit trees, (Peaches and Cherries,)

knowing them to be such for the nurseryman we believe to be a perfectly honest man, . and they took them up, tied them in parcel. and attached labels to them beariitr the names , .... , - of all the best fruits in the catalogues. . e were informed that these spurious ar icles were were informed that these spurious ar icles were . i a T it . - . I to De camea to Tennessee, iiere is a piece of villainy for you! Such men richly deserve the penitentiary, and we cannot understand how any honest man could conscientiously refrain from exposing them, and thus aid in bringing them to punishment. Quite as bad as any of the frauds we have mentioned, is that of palming off indifferent and worthless vanetiesoi fruits and Bowers, as something new, extraordinary t and valuable, at the most exhorbitant prices. Crafty felloWS perambulate the Country with exaij- i gerated colored drawings and bombastic tiesCriptionS. and thus deceive thousands of peo- . , r . , - . r, ! pie. ilie common Alpine Otrawtx-rrj nasi been Peddle! for Tears With the Word Mam- I , ,, 1 mow t rery captivaung prtuxeu. ine quarter Oak Grape a great fox Grape, utterly worthless, except, as Mr. Lonworth says, that it might serve for caunoa balls if lead were scarce for two or three years has bad a fine run in almost every part of the country, at three to five dollars per plaut.

Nothing else will sirve them but to be hunJugged, to use a Tulgar but expressire term. Newspapers lend themselves, unwittingly, as a general thing, to thee frauds, and do a great deal of harm. The family newspaper is looked up to as authority; and when these speculators get their glowing descriptions published, their work of deception is half accomplished. The only thing that can remedy this evil, 14 tVlA t IttCi. Wv 1 n Q tlm SIT iniultiifanfia onrl tvu ., ,1 r " I e 1 ? 1 I t honest and honorable dealing, to lend their aid in exposing and arresting this system of fraud. It is a disgrace to the trade and to the morals of the country most unpleasant duty It IS for us to give such a subject this importance: but we can not shrink from it. If there be anything about which people , should exercise extraordinary care and cau-j tion in purchasing, it is that of trees, seeds ' and plants. What a loss of time and money, ; and what a disappointment and mortification, to be deceived in these matters! It is not difficult to avoid impostors, if we but determine on so doing. There are honest tradesmen enough everywhere, from whom a supply can be obtained, men who have a character at stake, and who feel that their success depends upon their good reputation. These harpies who go about the country deceiving, are here to-day and there to-morrow; they seek patronage bat once. Our advice to all parties who desire to purchase trees, seeds, plants, or flowers anything pertaining to horticulture in which frauds are or can be committed is to place theirs orders in the hands of men whom they knoto to trustworthy. Reliable tradesmen are well known, and those of them who have traveling agents, provide them, or should provide them, with the requiste testimonials with which they may give the fullest satisfaction to those whose patronage they solicit. Ou this head a rigid inquiry should be made. No statement should be listened to that appears anywise suspicious. Trees ia Gardeas. . Fruit trees, shade trees, evergreens, or any thing else of the kind that grows larger Uiaa a mere shrub, should never be allowed in or close to a vegetable garden.
