SOMERSET NUSSEEY GEORGE-STREET, PARRAMATTA, New South Waxes. I HAVE much pleasure in intimating to the public in general of this and the adjacent' colonies that I have added considerably to my stock of ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS, &c, &c,, and beg to proffer my thanks to those who have so liberally supported me since my commencement in business. My stock of Fruit Trees, I venture to say, is the finest in New South Wales. I beg to assure the public in general that my highest ambition is to give satisfaction, to all of whom I give special invitation to- visit Somerset Nursery, and flatter myself that tthey will pronounce it, for utility and effect, order and neatness, the only emporium in the colony, bidding fair ultimately to bear comparison with many of the far-famed Britiah Nurseries. My new descriptive catalogue for 1866 and 1867 m now ready, and I shall be happy to forward same per post or otherwise on application. JAMES PURCHASE, ' • Somerset Nursery, Parramatta, N.B.W.
