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 thor- 
oughly 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 (he entire work if desired. 
Our prices, taking quality into consider- 
ation, are exceeding moderate, and we are- 
prepared to compete with any respectable- 
firms in the trade. Extra Selected Plants, 
and smaller quantities than quoted, will' 
be charged proportionately higher.
