NURSERY DEPARTMENT. 



We respectfully invite attention to our almost unlimited Stock of Trees and 

 Plants of every kind and size, all of splendid quality, much superior to those 

 generally offered in Nurseries, which includes : — 



Forest Trees, Plants for Coverts, Hedges, &c. 



Hardy Ornamental Trees, Conifers, &c. 



Evergreens, Flowering Plants, and Shrubs. 



Fruit Trees.— Over 20 Acres. Magnificent stuff. Many Fruiting Trees. 



Roses. — Many Acres, Extra Strong Blooming Plants. 



Vines. — Well-ripened, for Planting and for Fruiting in Pots. 



Stove and Greenhouse Plants, &c, in perfect health. 



F. & A. D. & Sons' Nurseries cover more than 150 Acres, and their Trees and 

 Plants have the important recommendation of being — 1st, unusually hardy; 2d, 

 remarkably well-grown ; and 3d, abundantly rooted. 



The extremely bleak and exposed situation of their Nurseries renders their 

 Plants unusually robust and hardy ; and their practice of planting thinly on the 

 ground, and repeated transplantation, causes compact, handsome growth, with 

 abundance of roots so that safe removal to any distance is insured without per- 

 ceptibly retarding the growth of Plants.
