Public Notices. GLADSTONE NURSERY, Near Invercargill. ONE OF THE FINEST COLLECTIONS OF FRUIT TREES IN THE COLONY. Efc BIRR EL L Sj9 In again soliciting tlic patronage of his numerous customers and the public generally, tenders his sincere thanus for their very liberal support in past seasons ami solicits a continuance of their patronage, and assures them that all orders entrusted to his cure wil receive prompt attention. EXPOSURE. This Nursery being in a very exposed situation, mostly on terrace land, and open to all the prevailing wind?, the trees kept a good distance apart, and having fibrous roots, occasioned by frequent transplanting, gives s hardiness of constitution rarely to be met with. They may be planted with safety ia the most exposed places as well as in sheltered localities. PLANTING. Settlers contemplating planting should procure Trees or Bushes from a nursery situated in an exposed place, as trees raised in low, moist, and sheltered laud never succeed well when removed to more unfavorable localities. BLIGHT PROOF VARIETIES. I have now to offer, for the first time, a few varieties of Apple trees that are blight proof, root and branch, and a large assortment worked on the blight- proof stock from nine to twelve inches from the ground. Settlors purchasing Apple trees said to be on blight-proof slocks should see that the graft is above ground, as nearly all Apples when grafted below .the surface strike roots which in most cases are liable to be attacked with blight, and is sure to end in disappointment. BLIGHT PROOF STOCKS. . [ In case there should be any misapprehension I wish it to be clearly understood that the blight-proof stock does not prevent the branches of varieties that are subject to the blight from being attacked, but r,he root is the stronghold of the bhgh', and it is a light, matter to deal with the top of the tree when the root is sound, clean, and healthy. I would call attention to the attached catalogue of Fruit and Forest Trees, with prices quoted. THE SOIL In that quarter of the Nursery where fruit trees and other deciduous plants are mostly grown, is .a light sandy loam and remarkable for causing the young stock to make fibrous roots, one of the best guarantees for the success of a young tree when transplanted. CORRESPONDENCE, To prevent delay and disappointment, customers are respeetfu ly requested to have their name and address, and postal address plainly written, the route by which goods are to be forwarded to be stated, and orders to be made out in regular columns, one article onlv to line.
