FRUIT TREES.
VINES & SHRUBBERY,

IlOutOh . securing OOOsebeffy SlOV pr uoI.
Wilson's Albany Strawberry, 1.5o pr loo.
The subscriber in presenting to the public the
above list of Fruit Trees and Shrubs would say
that they were selected by himself and having
been grown ON land of moderate fertility have made
fair growths of well ripened wood thus enabling
them to Withstand the sudden changes of our win
ters- Especially has this been the case in regard to
Peaches, the selections consisting mostly of those
kinds which in the orchard of the subscriber have
passed through the last four or five severe winters
with but slight damage. The almost total failure
of the Bigeare.n Sweet Cherries when grown
on Free Mazzard stocks, have induced the SUBJ
scriber to purchase largely of Sweet Cherries
budded on the Mahalet or Dwarf Cherry. The eff
feet of using this stock is that the growth of the
tree is checked, the wood rendered hardy, and the
tree brought into bearing the second or third year
after planting. The subscriber has also limited
number of the Early Richmond. This is without
doubt the most reliable Cherry for cultivation at
the West, as it has not failed to mature crop in
this vicinity for the past fifteen years.
The demand for Pear Trees both Standard and
Dwarf has led the subscriber to furnish himself
with those kinds noted for being hardy and pro-
ductive. Also, few of the best varieties OF
Plums have been selected consisting of those kinds
least liable to the attacks of the Curculio.

more frequently in the mouths of the Independents

to point out that the primitive Reformed Church
did not entertain the Judaical theory of Sabbath
observance, and that Sunday in the age of Eliza

not, however, disappointed in the pecu-

scriptive; witty and logical, IN a freedom
of thought and expression that would give
interest and pleasure to the readers of
