TRINIDAD : THEN AND NOW.

remarkable kind are sure to attract the notice and 

 curiosity of visitors, I allude to a large fern-tree 

 and a variegated orange. There are many others 

 whose names I forgot, even if I ever knew them. 



Visitors from either the colony or abroad who 

 order plants of either an economic or ornamental 

 kind to be sent to their homes may rely on receiving 

 them in as perfect order as they were on the day of 

 selection. There will also be found many varieties 

 of hardy timber plants consisting of cedar, Honduras 

 mahogany, cyp, poui and other well recognised de- 

 corative and furniture-making timbers, which will 

 be profitable if planted along the cocoa traces. 



It would be impossible to give here anything 

 more than a sketch of this fine Nursery, it must be 

 seen to be thoroughly understood and fully appreci- 

 ated ; it would be well if the proprietor would publish 

 a full descriptive catalogue of all that is to be seen 

 and disposed of. 



I am sorry that space will not permit me to give 

 a fuller description of this new and thriving industry 

 which certainly deserves the patronage of not only 

 our own people but also of our visitors ; it is, I be- 

 lieve, the only Nursery of the sort to be found in any 

 of the British West Indian Islands. 



I need not say more, for visitors to this Nursery 

 will be able to receive all information they desire 

 from either the proprietor or his manager on the spot. 

 I wish it the success which it deserves, and hope to 

 see it at no distant day forming another and strong 

 contrast with the Trinidad of TKen and Now.
