 Manufacturers of all kinds of GARDE N NETTING, i&c. 



THE serious injury done every spring to fruit crops by frost has proved to every 

 gardener the absolute necessity of providing some protection to the trees 

 early in the year. If the blossom, in its earliest development, be but slightly 

 weakened by frost, the vitality of the fruit-germ is destroyed, and the fruit lost. 

 In this climate, on the average of a century, there is not more than one yearm 

 nineteen when the protection is unnecessary. Many fabrics have been tried for 

 this purpose of protection, with more or less success; and we may now say. 

 without fear of contradiction, that we have succeeded in manufacturing the only 

 fabric which is altogether unobjectionable for this purpose. Without vmduly 

 nursing it effectually protects the young germ, and does not impede the action 

 of hght'and due circulation of ah-. Some other fabrics do this, and thus weaken 

 the vitality of the tree altogether. Almost every large grower m the three 

 kingdoms can testify to these facts. ^ ^.4.

 Testimonial Jroni Robert Warner, Esq. 



» T hfivp had the nettiuR Xo. 6 on my orchid-house for eighteen mouths, and I find it now 

 in verf good order and likely to last as many more months, and I inteud to use it on all my 

 hoS il futurerheing well iatistied both as to its lasting qualities and also as to the shade 

 it ei^eVVhich is sufficient to prevent hurning and yet not thick enough to keep out the 

 iLh^as the ordinary strong shading stuffs do; indeed, it is suitable for shading any kind
