Gentlemen, —I have received the Garden Frames, and I 
am quite delighted with them. They are really well got up, 
well timbered, and the sides and ends being grooved, will pre¬ 
vent that objectionable swaging so prevalent in these kind of 
boxes. I shall certainly recommend them to my brothers in the 
trade.—R.GILBERT.Head Gardenerto the Marquis of Exeter.
