WAIRARAPA NURSERIES.

MR E. HALE, MASTERTON

It is highly desirable for those who I 'intend planting trees to secure such j as are acclimatised to the district. It is generally regarded as a mistake to go to a warm.district for trees and shrubs, to. transplant to a colder climate. ' They get an immediate setback, and in many instances become stunted, or die out. /Locally grown , seedlings are the hardiest, and are : best suited for the W-airarapa, and where transplanted under ordinary conditions seldom prove a failure. Mr E. Hale", of the Nurseries, Masterton, makes a specialty of trees growing for transplanting. He lias a staff of experts in the work, and the young trees are lifted with the earth surroitnding their roots, and packed with care and skill. If the purchaser exercises care and attention in planting, a healthy growth is assured. There are orchard plantations, shelter patches, and hedges in many parts of the Wairarapa, from Palliser .Bay to the Manawatu River, now to be seen in a flourishing condition, that have been transplanted from Mr Hale's Nursery at Masterton. Fruit trees are a specialty with Mr Hale, and what he sends out are guaranteed true to name, free from disease, vigorous and . shapely. Mr Hale carries a very large stock-of fruit trees, shelter trees,_ and ornamental trees and shrubs, chiefly of standard varieties, and his advice, owing to his long experience, is placed at the disposal of. intending buyers in selecting the most suitable trees for a giv,en district. Mr Hale has a staff of expert men available for planting, renovating, and laying gardens, grounds and orchards, and their services are supplied at reasonable charges.
