lis. Petunias, Heliotropes, Salvias, &c. No lawn is at all,

It is scarcely proper for the Proprietors to speak of their 
mode of dealing ; they leave that to those who know 
them. They will simply say, that they do not trust their 
sales to irresponsible men. whose only object is to make 
large commissions, irrespective of the interest of the pur¬ 
chaser or the reputation of the proprietors. Reputation 
and character are of more value in their eyes than money. 
The first two they wish to secure by fair and liberal deal- 
j n g_the last must take care of itself. 
TRANSPLANTING 
Is carefully done at the Nursery, but as the planting is 
often improperly done bv the purchaser, and the trees

prietors do not ensure the living of any trees. Directions

logue. . .
