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



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

 -L 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 year in 

 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 unduly 

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

 of light and due circulation of air. Some other fabrics do this, and thus weaken 

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

 kingdoms can testify to these facts. 



HOT-HOUSE SHADING of various thicknesses, superior to any other yet 

 discovered for lightness, strength, and durability, standing as it does all weathers. 

 Testimonial Jrom EoBERT Warner, Esq. 

 " I have had the netting No. 6 on my orchid-house for eighteen months, and I find it now 

 in very good order, and Ulcely to last as many more months, and I intend to use it on all my 

 houses in future, being well satisfied both as to its lasting qualities and also as to the shade 

 it gives, wbich is sufficient to prevent burning and yet not thick enough to keep out the 

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

 of plants.— Broom f£ id, Feb. IS, 1871."
