ROBERT gIRRELL, In again soliciting the patronage of his numerous customers arid the public generally, tenders his sincere thanks for their very liberal support in past seasons, and solicits a continuance of their patronage, and assnres them that all orders entrusted to his care will receive prompt attention. PLANTING. Settlers contemplating planting should procure Trees or Bushes from a nursery situated in an exposed, place, as trees raised in sheltered land never succeed so well when removed to more unfavorable localities. BLIGHT PROOF VARIETIES. I have a few varieties of Apple trees that are blight proof, root and branch, and a large assortment on the blight-proof stock guaranteed blight-proof below the graft. I would call the special attention of in» tending planters to my stock of Fruit and Forest Trees, and Ornamental Tress and Shrubs, which is remarkably large, varied, and healthy, this season. r To meet the increasing demand I have secured eight acres of land at Northend, within three minutes walk of Dee street, waiea is admirably adapted for nvrsery ptrposes. A considerable portion has already been planted, and, although occupying a very exposed positien, the yoang trees are strong and vigorous, and in excellent condition for planting oat. In that quarter of the nursery where fruit trees and other deciduous plants are mostly ' grown, is a light saady loam, and remarkable for causing the young stock to make fibrous roots— one of the beat guarantees for the lacceMi of a young tree when trans* plantedr COBBESPONDBWCB. i To prevent delay and disappointment, ! customers are respectfully requested to have the.ir names and addresses plainly written, the route by which gaods are to be forwarded and postal address to be distinctly stated; and orders to be madef but in, regular columns, one article only; on a line;.
