WHERE DWARF APPLES AND HARDY RHODODEN¬ 
DRONS ARE GROWN IN WHOLESALE QUANTITIES 
The Goldsworth Nurseries, Woking, Surrey, England 
Mr. Slocock has been in business somewhat over thirty 
years. The establishment which he now controls is one of 
the oldest nurseries remaining which originally depended 
on the London district for its trade. A family of the 
name of Turner held it for many years; later a Mr. Donald 
operated it successfully, coming to the nursery about the 
year 1800. References are made to this nursery in the 
Gardeners Magazine (Loudon’s) 1825. Loudon was a 
frequent visitor here—the nursery afterwards came into 
the possession of the well known Waterer family and they 
were succeeded by the present proprietor. 
A WHOLESALE EMPORIUM 
This*is one of the most extensive nurseries in the great 
tree growing region of Surrey. It is situated about one 
mile from the village of Woking, in the famous region of 
Aldershot, which as some of our readers know, is the noted 
military camp of England. The nursery proper covers an 
area of about 300 acres. There is a desirable variety of 
soil in the different parts of the grounds. In the lower 
levels along a small stream and by the banks of an old 
canal, peaty soil well adapted to Rhododendrons and 
heath plants is found. On the higher ranges sandy loam 
well adapted to peaches and herbaceous plants prevails. 
TRAINED NURSERY PRODUCTS 
The tract is roughly divided into two parts, the ‘old’ 
and the ‘new’ nurseries. In the former the stock is divided 
up into divisions by beautiful beach and arborvitae hedges.' 
These hedges seven to eight feet high presenting an ab¬ 
solutely uniform wall of green in the summer time, com¬ 
pact and impenetrable, are a revelation to the man from 
the Western hemisphere. Some of them are 50 years old
