We quote the following from the Semi- Weekly Times of 
Nov. 5, 1S67, believing it will be of interest to thousands who 
want all the Horticultural stock they can buy for the 
money they have to spare for that purpose. 
Whitlock's Horticultural Advertiser, 
This is a 12mo. pamphlet of seventy-four pages, gotten up 
in an attractive style, by L. L. Whitlock. No. 37 Park Row, 
New York City, who proposes to act as a judicious and 
trusty "middle-man" between farmers and gardeners and 
those who raise trees, vines and shrubs for sale. This is a 
new arrangement to supply the million with choice vines 
and trees at low prices. The Horticultural Advertiser is 
Whitlock's medium of communication. Producers offer 
their stock of trees and vines to him at exceedingly low 
prices— perhaps twice as low as they will sell to customers 
direct. Those in want of trees or vines send their orders to 
him, and thus receive all the adyantage of the low prices by 
simply paying Whitlock asraall per centage. As the ad- 
vantage is all on the side of farmers and gardeners, let us 
look into the practical operation of the system, that the 
doubting may understand how to take still greater advan- 
tage of the facilities for procuring trees. A farmer, for ex- 
ample, near Rochester, N. Y„ wants $500 worth of fruit 
trees. He desires to superintend digging them himself. 
Producers hold the same trees at ©1,000: but by writing to 
New York and paying the middle-man $25, the farmer saves 
$500. This Is a liberal advertisement of the agency : but the 
information imparted to the million by disclosing these hon- 
est tricks of the trade seems to be a sufficient excuse for 
telling those who want trees and vines how to obtain them 
cheaply and at the same time procure as good ones as If 
they were to get them by retail. Besides this, the Horticul- 
tural Advertiser contains much valuable information on the 
subject of horticulture and .pomology. (See Adv.)
