BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. 



A correspondent near Philadelphia, whose 

 good standing is well know-n to us, writes; 



"I have about thirt.v acres of very fine 

 land, suitable for nursery business, and 

 am anxious to get hold of a good, live, 

 young fellow, one who is up in this line 

 of work and a bustler, to go into the nur- 

 ser.v stock with me. I do not think there 

 will be any trouble in giving him a nice 

 line of trade, but would not consider any- 

 one unless he had some capital and thor- 

 oughly understood how to run it. 



"Have frequent inquiries for the laying 

 out and fixing of grounds, furnishing ma- 

 terial, etc., for the work. This could be 

 handled as a nice profitable investment for 

 the right man."
