furnish what will suit his customers, as well as the varied 
soils and localities, in which trees may be wanted. There is 
also special attention paid to local* varieties, adapted to

proven themselves more valuable, than BOrts originating in 
a climate di tiering so widely from these sections.

ments for neighbors to join together and get trees consider- 
ably under the regular retail prices.

portunity to purchase from Irs regularly authorized agents, 
and hold a mistrust towards the too numerous tree venders 
spread over the land.

by strangers, to etl'ect sale* where the reputation of the 
nursery is known, compels him to warn all not to purchase 
—as coming from these Nurseries— stock offered by pre- 
tenders, who do not hold au authority from the proprietor.

traveling nor stationary agenuy inquiries will receive notice,
