The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
TRANSPLANTED FOREST AND COVERT TREES. 
PORTION OF BEECH HEDGE IN OUR NURSERY. 
The Forest Trees and Covert Plants we offer below have all 
been thinly grown and periodically transplanted, and are in every 
case excellent value. They must not be confounded with the 
Soedling Plants so often quoted at vory low prices direct from the 
scod beds, which have never been transplanted at all. It should bo 
romembered by all intending planters that it is of the highest 
importance to procure Forest Trees which havo beon grown thinly, 
and which have thus retained their natural shape and full vigour. 
The planting of land, which is not suitable for farming purposes, 
with Forest Trees which will quickly grow into remunerative 
timber is now receiving much attention, and extensive tracts of 
land are being utilised for this purpose every year. 
Wo strongly urge those of our customers who possess land of 
tins nature to carefully consider the question. We use the greatest 
care in the packing and despatching of all orders, it being of the 
greatest importance that they should arrive in good condition. 
We hold an exceptionally fine stock of clean straight Limes 
and other trees suitable for Avenue and Park planting. These are 
all well rooted, and will lift splendidly. Our quarters of Tree Box are 
also very good, and wo are offering it at most moderate prices. 
Any of our customers who are anticipating planting will find in 
Tree Box an excellent subject, and one which affords warm sholter 
for game during winter. 
Where large quantities of Trees are required we will gladly 
give special quotations, and if desired, we will send fully qualified 
men to advise on the planting or thinning of coverts and plan- 
tations.
