We are continually receiving letters requesting our advice on matters touching the garden, and the 

 erection and arrangement of greenhouses, and the laying out of grounds. It is seldom possible that satis- 

 factory information on these matters can be conveyed in ordinary correspondence; we have therefore 

 secured, specially for this pwpox, the services of an experienced Gardener, eminent in all matters con- 

 nected with, horticulture, who m ty be consulted by appointment at our Warehouse, or on moderate terms 

 at the applicants' residences, in any part of the country.
