'■ Public Notices C\ LADSTONJS a*D NORTHVU~ END NURSERIES, Neab Ikvebcabgilt.. One of the finest collections of Fruit Trees in the colony. BOBERT"~BIRRELIi, In again soliciting the patronage of bis numerous customers and the public generally, tenders his sincere thanks for their very liberal support in past seasone, and solicits & continuance of their patronage, and assures them that all orders entrusted to his care wijl receive prompt attention. PLANTING. Settlers contemplating planting should procure Trees or Bushes from a nursery situated in an exposed place, as trees raised in sheltered land never succeed so well when removed to more unfavorable localities. BLIGHT PBOOP VABIETIES, I have a few varieties of Apple trees that are blight-proof, root and branch, and a large 'assortment on the blight-proof stock guaranteed blight-proof below the graft. I would call the special attention of intending planters to my stock of Faufr and Fobest Tbees, and Ornamental Trees and Bhrubß, which is remarkably large, varied, and healthy, this season. ■ To meet the increasing demand I have secured eight acres of land at Northend, with* in three minutes' walk of Dee street, which is admirably adapted for nnrsery purposes. A considerable portion has already been planted, and, although occupying a very exposed position, the young trees are strong and vigorous, and in excellent condition for planting out. THE SOIL In that quarter of the nursery where fruit trees and otb.<*r deciduous plants are mostly grown, is a light sandy loam, and remarkable for causing the y^fiDg stock- to make fibrous roots— one of the best guarantees for the success of a young tree when transplanted. COBBESPONDEKCE. To prevent delay and disappointment, customers are respectfully requested to have their names and addresses pl«inly written, the route by which goods are to be forwarded and postal address to be distinctly slated, kd orders to be made out in regular columns, j one article only on a line.
