The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
TRANSPLANTED FOREST TREES. 
To meet the demand for Forest Trees we have considerably increased our Stock in this direction, and it will be found to comprise 
all the best varieties for Forest and Estate planting ; further, we make it a practice to grow our trees thinly in wide rows, which 
ensures their being thoroughly hardened when moved to exposed situations. We shall be pleased to give estimates, free of cost, 
for all kinds of planting, Forest or otherwise, and will carry out the entire work if desired. 
Our prices, taking quality into consideration, are exceedingly moderate, and we aro prepared to compete with any respectable firms in tho trade. 
Extra Selcctod Plants, and less than the quantities quoted, will bo charged proportionately higher.
