Gordon, and they have given him every satisfaction in tho way of collecting and naming and packing them for their long iournoy to England. This gentleman has also kindly offorod to use his greatest influenoo among his noblo friends at Home. As ho is a great lover of forns himself ho has spared no pains to become thoroughly acquainted with our magnificent collection of Ferns, and has allowod us tho great privilege of using his name on our behalf. And can you wonder at it, as ho has found a man that he hardly oxpooted to find in this colony— one who has been thoroughly trained in tho gorgeous places of England, to wit; : tho Royal Kew Gardens (the Crystal Palace, Sydenham; the fioyal Horticultural Society's Gardens, South Kensington ; and the Hampton Court Palace Grounds. The last-named is noted for having the largest vinery in the world. Messrs.

One groat foaturo in this establishmont is tho very groat display of pressed ferns on cards which aro got up In a very neat mannor by tho junior partner of the firm, and aro being bought up daily by English tourista. Several gentlemen who have called on us recently have told us that this establishment is about one of the most interesting places to visit throughout tho colony of Now Zealand. We havo Bhown them the rough matorial from the bush, and how it can be brought into its various t uses, and desoribod what a quantity is being burnt yearly to wasto. The senior partner of the firm shows the visitors what our magnificent soil can produce in various parts of the colony where he has visited, and they all feel most interested in hearing it. Of course tho chief foaturo is to know how to manago these lovely ferns after conveying them home, and we spare no pains in directing them, having had long oxperienoe among this class ot plants in England. As wo have had good returns from most of our travelling customers, we now feel it a picasuro to ask tho publio to call and see for themselves. Please note the address as above.
