for the restoration of those valuable orchard fruits, the Foxwhelp and Skyrme's 

 Kernel Apples and the Taynton Squash Pear, have completely succeeded. They 

 have now upwards of 800 young trees in vigorous health — viz., 



1 ox w help. Kernel. Squash. 



One-year maidens, about 3 feet high ... 500 ... 100 ... 30 



Two-years-old trees, 4 feet to 5 feet high ... 80 ... 30 ... 18 



Standard Foxwelp trees, 5 to 6 feet high 100 ... 



The prices of these trees are 2s. 6d. for maidens, 3s. 6d. each for two-year-old 

 trees, and 5s. each for the Standard Foxwhelp trees. They are offered, in the 

 first instance, to members of the Club, who will be allowed a reduction of 10 per 

 cent, on these prices. 



Members desirmg to have any of these trees should apply immediately to 

 Mr. Theo. Lane, the secretary, who will register the list for the committee in the 

 order of application up to the end of August, when the list will be closed. The 

 trees will be sent out in October. 



The committee are very desirous that every care should be taken to maintain 

 the vigour of the young trees. They be? therefore to suggest : — 



1. That the trees should be planted on fresh ground, well-drained and 

 deeply trenched. 



2. That holes 1 yard square, or trenches 1 yard wide, be dug at once in 

 readiness. 



3. That the loam from the ground be mixed with turf parings and a little 

 lime rubbish to fill the holes, and be firmly trodden down. 



4. That the roots be carefully spread out immediately below the surface, and 

 covered with fine soil, thus avoiding the error of deep planting. 



5. That the young trees be firmly staked when planted ; and lastly, 



6. That a thick layer of rotten manure be placed on the ground above the 

 roots to preserve moisture and keep out frost.
