THE -RELIEVING as we do, that the possibilities of Fruit cul-

OF FRUIT. expansion, to the advantage of the individual and the 
nation, it is with increasing pleasure that we have been able 
to chronicle for some years past, a very marked and growing development 
in Fruit Growing. The Nurseryman, whose business it is to produce Fruit 
Trees and Bushes, is the first to experience the effect of the development or 
decline of the particular business in which he is engaged. Great as the 
demand has been for some years past, the last season has eclipsed them all. 
That this in itself indicates extension and development of Fruit culture on 
a large scale, is beyond doubt. 
NOTES In this issue we print some notes on the subject ot 
ON Spraying Fruit Trees. There is no doubt but that this is a 
SPRAYING. matter that has been neglected a good deal in this country, 
with consequent injury and loss to the crops. We cordially 
invite the attention of Growers to the matter, in the hope that it will 
prove of assistance and benefit to them. 
POINTS The importance of securing the best possible trees for 
OF planting purposes cannot be too greatly insisted upon. 
IMPORTANCE. Unless the trees have been properly grown, are free from 
pests, and have well developed roots, the cultivator is 
handicapped at the outset. 
Upwards of half a century’s experience in the production of Fruit Trees 
and Bushes of the highest class, is placed at the disposal of our clients. The 
employment of specialists exclusively devoted to this department, together 
with the exercise of the highest skill and most careful attention to every 
detail, enables us to produce and offer Trees and Bushes of the highest 
quality and grade. 
SOIL The high altitude at which our Fruit Lands are situated, 
AND SYSTEM, the favourable character of the soil, and the system of grow- 
ing and transplanting that we adopt, combine to make our 
Fruit Trees hardy, strong, vigorous, and what is most important, well 
furnished with an abundant supply of fibrous roots. 
CLEANLINESS Every practical Fruit grower knows the great importance 
AND of these two points. Unless the former is constantly maiu- 
NOMENCLATURE. tained, success in Fruit growing will not be possible. 
Correct and true nomenclature is equally important. Both 
these subjects meet with our special and unremitting care and attention. 
WE We would much prefer, that instead of our describing to you 
INVITE the extent and excellence of our stocks, you paid us a visit 
INSPECTION, and inspected the same yourself. We think it would interest 
you, and also be beneficial to ourselves. The nearest Station 
to our Nurseries is Hale (late Peel Causeway) on the Cheshire Lines Railway, 
distant about one mile ; a good service of trains is maintained between this 
Station and Manchester on the one side, and Chester for connections into 
Wales, etc., on the other. We shall always be pleased to meet visitors by 
appointment, J
