We quote the following from the Semi-Weekly Times of 
Nov. 5,1SG7, believing it will be of interest to thousands who 
want all the Horticultural stock they can buy for tlie 
money they have to spare for that purpose. 
'Wbitlock.’s Horticultural Advertiser. 
This Is a 12mo. pamphlet of scventy-fo’gr 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 
tliose who raise trees, vines and shrubs for sale. Tliis is a 
new arrangement to supply the million witli 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 lo'W 
prices—perhaps twice as low as they wilt sell to customers 
direct. Those in want of trees or vines send their orders to 
him, and tlius receive all the advantage of the low prices by 
simply paying Whitlock a small per centage. As the ad¬ 
vantage is all on the side of farmers and gardeners, let us 
look into the practic.al operation of the system, tliat the 
doubting may understand how to take still greater advan¬ 
tage of tlie 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 himselfi 
Producers hold the same trees at $1,000; hut 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 sulilcient excuse lor 
telling those who want trees and vines how to obtain tliem 
cheaply and at the same time procure as good ones as if 
they were to get tliein by retail. Besides lhi.s, the Horticul¬ 
tural Advertiser contains mucli valuable Information on the 
subject of horticulture and pomology. (See AdvO
