Bs8@ Among our new advertisements this
week we call the special attention of our rea-
ders to that ofthe Bedford Nurseries, T.. NJ.
lyach, proprietor. All in want of choice
fruit flowers, ornamental trees, shrubbery,
&c, viii do well to give him call and exam
Inc his stock and prices. We can assure them
that they viii find ALI the new and valuable
varieties of fruits, &c, that can be obtained
in eastern nurseries and at as favorable rates
as can be obtained elsewhere, with the advan-
tage Of having them fresh from the ground,
instead of being dried up during transporta-
ton from distant nurseries, very important
consideration in transplanting. Our people
annually buy considerable quantities of trees
and shrubbery from agents of distant nurse
nes, who are frequently irresponsible men,
aud have no interest in giving satisfaction, af-
Ter the sales are made, as they are not likely
ever to visit the same locality again. Why
not buy of irresponsible parties at home, whose
interest it is to furnish none but the best, va
Heties. There is nothing that adds so much
70 the value ofproperty as an abundance of
choice fruit, yet few of our people give their
attention to its cultivation. We would say
to all owning property, if only a town lot, plant
choice fruit, not worthless seedlings, but go
TO the nurseries and buy the best varieties
that can be obtained and you will find its cuI
u'ation beth pleasant and profitable.
