CLIBRANS’ LIST OF TREES AND SHRUBS. 
Clibrans’ 
Foresters’ and Planters’ Guide. 
ANY years have passed since, owing to the growth in the Forest Tree branch 
of our business, we decided to issue a Special List of Forest Trees, Covert 
and Hedge Plants, in place of their being incorporated, as was previously 
the case, with our General List of Trees and Shrubs. 
It has been a matter of satisfaction to ourselves to note, year by year, the 
increased appreciation with which this departure has been received, whilst on our 
part we have constantly endeavoured to make each succeeding issue of greater 
interest and assistance to those engaged in, or interested in. Forestry. 
The article on “ State Forests ” by Mr. Story, with the resulting correspondence, 
that appears in this issue, will we feel sure, be read with interest, as will also the 
short account of the Duke of Northumberland’s Exhibit at the Royal Agricultural 
Society’s Show at Newcastle. Several other articles and extracts of interest ( see 
note at foot) will be found within its pages. 
Our Foresters’ and Planters’ Guide appeals to all who own or manage land. It 
is handsomely produced, intensely interesting, and indispensable. 
The summer of 1908 has been, from the Foresters’ point of view, fairly favourable, 
all the Forest subjects, of which we have several millions, have made good growth, 
and there is every prospect of their ripening properly. 
The revival of interest in Forestry, evidenced during recent years, has been 
maintained and still further developed during the season that has passed. Never 
have we experienced so great a demand for the various kinds of Forest Trees as 
during the last season. In spite of the fact that we held huge stocks, consisting of 
millions of all the leading kinds at the commencement of the season, the demand 
was so great that we were absolutely cleared out towards the end of the planting 
months of the stock set apart for sale last season. 
A far larger acreage of our Nurseries is now devoted to the raising of Forest 
Trees than at any previous time. 
Growing our stocks from the seed to the finished plant, we are able to recommend 
them to planters with every confidence. 
A personal inspection of our plants by all who are interested is cordially invited. 
The vast extent of our stocks, from the seedling stage to plants some feet in height, 
cannot fail to be of interest to all who plant, or intend to do so. 
We shall be pleased to send a conveyance to meet visitors at the Railway 
Station, upon receiving intimation of their proposed visit a few posts in advance. 
For years past we have supplied the largest Private Planters, Corporations 
and Public Bodies with Forest Trees and Hedge Plants, and have invariably been 
favoured with repeat orders, the surest criterion of the satisfaction given by our 
plants.
