One of the finest collection of Fruit Treei in the Colony. £^ B lEE JS L L, In again soliciting the patronage of liis numerous customers and the public generally, tenders hie since, e thanks for Uieir very liberal support in past seasons, and s licifs a conlinuince of tbe : .r patronage, and azures them fcl.at, all orders enttus'.ed to his care will receive prompt attention, exposure. This Nurssry being io a very exposed situation, mostly on terrace land, and open to t, , ling wind?, the trees kept a good dfsta ce apart, and lmng fibrous root?, occasioned by frequent transpl nting, gives a hardiness of constitution rarely to be met with. They may be plmted -with Bafety in the most expo 9 ed plaaea as well a3 in aholtered localities. PLANTING. Set lore contemplating planting ehould pro** cure Ti ess or liuthes fiom a Nursery bituated in an exposed place, as trees raised in low, moist, and sheltered land never succeed well when removed to more unfavorable localities. BLIGHT raOOF VARIETIES. I hare now to offer for the second time, a few varieties of apple tr^s that are blight riot and branch, and a large assortment worked on the blight proof stocks from nine io twelve inches from tee gr.»ui.d. Settlerspurchasing Apple trees sail lo be on blight proof stock* should sea that ibe graft is above ground, as .-early all apple* vvken grafted below the surface strike roo s -which in most cases are liable to be a* lacked with blight, and is aura to end in disapi* iatsm nt. BLIGHT PBOOF STOCKS. In case there should be any misapprehension I wish it to be eUarly understood that the blight-proof stock does not prevent the branches of varwuestW are subject to the ■ biight from being attacked, but the root is th stronghold of the blight, and it is a light mat. ber to dea 1 wit i the top of the tree when the root is sound, dean and healthy . I would call attention to the attached catalogue of Fruit and Forest Trees, with prices quoted. TUB SOIL. In that quarter of tU Nursery where fruit trees and other deciduous plants ara mostly grown, is a light sandy loam, and remarkable for causing the young stock to make fibrous roots -one of the best guarantees for the success of a young tree when transplanted, CORRESPONDENCE, To prevent delay and disappointment, customers are respectfully requested to have their ame and address plainly written, the route by which the goods are to be forwarded and postal address to be distinctly Btated, jwd orders to be made out in tegular columns, one attie'e only on a Hoe.
