TESTIMONIALS. 



From Eight Hon. LORD BURTON, Rangemore, near 

 Bufton-on-Trent. 



" Messrs. Foster 8c Pearson, of Beestou, near Nottingham, have put up a 

 number of houses for us, both in Staffordshire and Scotland. We have every 

 reason to be highly satisfied with the style and quality of their work, 

 especially as compared with that of others whom we have previously em- 

 ployed. Their charges appear to be reasonable — Burton." 



From J. W. BURGESS, Esq., Architect, C M si e burst, Kent. 

 " Gentlemen, — I am exceedingly pleased with the Conservatory you 

 have erected here." 



ORCHID HOUSES A SPECIALTY. 



Established 1841. 



22 FIRST PRIZES. 



In the Construction of these Houses only the best Archangel and Petersburgh Timber is used, 



after being Seasoned in our own Sheds for Two Years, ensuring great Durability. 



THE GIANT PRUNER. 



The New and Latest Invention for Scientific Pruning 

 and Training on a large scale. 



The great success of the "Standard" Tree Primer and the 

 "Myticuttah" has induced us to give our attention to the pro- 

 duction of a somewhat similar Implement, but of a much more 

 powerful construction. In the Giant Pruner you have a tool 

 capable of EASILY cutting a branch 7 inches in circumference, 

 with an exerting pressure of 1£ tons. 



Prices and Lengths in future Advertisement. 



For Illustrated Price LISTS of above and other Novelties in 

 Pruning Tools, Fruit and Flower Gatherers, &c, apply to the Prin- 

 ipal Ironmongers and Seedsmen at home and abroad ; or of the 



SCIENTIFIC PRUNING and TRIMMING MADE SAFE, EASY, and RAPID. 



The New and Ingenious Hand to Hand Pruner 



"MYTICUTTAH" 



(Registered Trade Mark and Title). 

 Patented in Great Britain, France, and Germany. 



Hitherto, strictly correct Pruning could only be 

 done by holding the branch with one hand and 

 using a Knife with the other, but then only for 

 small branches, whereas the "Myticuttah" itself 

 holds the branch, cutting over an inch in diameter, 

 and in case of prickly bushes, &c, it saves the 

 hands from injury. Garden and Lopping Shears, 

 which hack and bruise the branch, are entirely 

 superseded by this new Patent, and its many 

 advantages will at once commend it to the 

 practical Gardener or Forester.
