NurserymenGLADSTONE & NOETHBND NURSERIES, NEAR InVERCAR<!HLL. One of the finest collections of Fruit Trees in the Colony. J>OBERT JJIRRELL, In again soliciting the patronage of his numerous customers and 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 Jocalities. BLIGHT PROOF VARIETIES. I have a few varieties of Apple trees that are blight proof, root and branch, and i large assortment on the blight-proof stock guaranteed blight-proof below the graft. " I would call the special attention of intending planters to my stock of Fruit and Forest Trees, and Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, which is remarkably large, varied and healthy, this season. To meet the increasing demand I have secured eight acres of land at Northentf, within three minutes walk of Dee street, which is admirably adapted for nursery purposes. A considerable portion has already been planted, and, although occupying a very exposed position, the young trees are stroag and vigorous, and in excellent condition for planting out. THE SOIL In that quarter of the nursery where fruit trees and other deciduous plants are mostly grown, is a light sandy loam, and remarkable fox 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 names and addresses plainly written, the route by which goods are to be forwarded and postal address to be distinctly stated, and orders to be made out in regular columns, one article only on a line. PACKING. Correspondents in distant parts of the Colony may rely on every care being taken in packing. I have received many complimentary letters in past seasons on my sjstem of packing, and the satisfactory condition in which trees and plants rcaeh their destination.
