A Personal Acknowledgment. 
return our hearty thanks to our esteemed patrons who favoured us 
their orders for hardy fruit, &c., last Autumn, and trust to receive their 
f future commands. We most respectfully beg to intimate how delighted we are 
to announce the great increase of our orders, and greatly appreciate the many kind 
expressions of satisfaction we have received from those whom we had the pleasure 
to serve and who placed their confidence in us by leaving the selection of varieties to us. 
In every case instructions were faithfully carried out and we are happy to say this 
has brought us many kind acknowledgments and words of appreciation of our 
endeavours to please ; all this is very reassuring and goes to show that our new 
method of growing and pruning hardy fruit trees (so different to the old way practised 
by many) is correct. Our trees are each specimens in themselves, good sides and 
shapes, and well ripened wood are some of the prominent points which make them 
find favour and increased demand from those who are desirous of planting trees that 
have come to stay and llourisli afterwards even under the most ordinary care and attention. 
Aided by our ground being of a calcareous nature, our trees when transplanted 
in good soil go straight away ; we also make a special study of all insects that 
attack them in their infancy and aftergrowth, and destroy these pests by a carefully 
tested insecticide of our own compounding. We are anxious that everyone should know 
that all our fruit trees are celebrated as I)eing perfectly free from insects, mildew, 
and mosses, and readily recognized by their Ijeautiful silvery-looking wood and perfect 
fruic-])uds. 
All trees are lifted by experienced men, not got up at so much per 100, 
thereby but very little or no damage is done to their roots, this is very important 
and enables the trees to soon recover from the awful wrench they sustain by being 
taken up from their home. 
In conclusion, to intending purchasers we ask all to “ Come and See,” and thoroughly 
inspect our 200 acres of trees (Eynsford) before going elsewhere — with us Trained Trees 
are a Spicialite, our stocks l)eing clean and healthy ; this season’s growth is exceptionally 
fine, we have every reason to believe we are in an unique position to meet the world’s 
wishes and desires in hardy trees, and feel more than confident of our produce 
meeting approval and giving entire satisfaction. We shall be delighted to show you 
our many breadths of fruit trees (Eynsford), and again tender our sincere thanks for 
all past favours.
