IRISH GARDENING. 



Fruit Trees. 



Almost 20 acres of our Killincy muserics arc stocked 

 with well over 2l>0,000 Fruit Trees in all forms. Popular 

 varieties of marivot apples can be supplied by the thousand. 

 Trained trees for wall and espalier are extra fine, and 

 purchasers will be pleased with the vigour of growth and 

 distinct evidence of skilful care in the cultivation of our 

 trees. Prices are very moderate, and new Catalogue will 

 be sent post free on request. 



" The Apple Trees (350) duly arrived ; they are simply 

 tip-top stuff. Indeed I am sorry I got. any trees from 

 England. Their trees lack the root system yours have got ; 

 tiicy could not compare with yours for size, shape or 

 anything else. I have learned a moral: any more orders 

 go to Dublin, not across the Channel." — A. L. S., Esq., 

 Athy. 



" Of the 2,200 Apple Trees I got from you two years 

 ago, not one died. They are fine and hardj^ with no sign 

 of disease, and when you are in the district you ought to 

 call and see them. My first planting is yichling a barr-l 

 to the tree." — J. B. P., Esq., Co. Kildare. 



Roses, 



The Roses both in our Clontarf and Killiney Nurseries 

 Iiave attracted numerous visitors this year, the collection 

 including all recent novelties, right ujj to those sent out 

 for the first time in 1917. For quality, ripe vigorous 

 growth and abundance of fibrous roots, our Rose Trees 

 will compare with those of any firm in the United Kingdom. 

 " Watson's iSpecial Rose Discount," as detailed in new 

 Rose Catalogue, is a discount worth having. Send for 

 new price list.
