A Card to the Public.

Having determined to continue In the nur-
sery business, we wish to call the attention
OF those planting fruit and ornamental trees
to our mammoth nursery stock, for the fall OF
1877 and spring of 1878. We desire to en-
ploy only responsible agents, and our Gus
toners will confer lasting favor upon US by
reporting any agent who misrepresents our
interests or the interests ofou customers in
any particular. We are determined to bring
the tree trade IN the west to higher stand
ard Of excellence, that parties ordering trees
may feel confident they are being dealt with
honoraby. All responsible nurseries are
now selling their trees by subscription. We
are confident. with our experience in the
nursery business, that trees can be shipped
with safety almost any distance, and that the
advantages in buying from old and reliable
nurseries are worthy the consideration OF the
planter. Parties ordering trees by letter
should address all letters to D. 7. Freeman,
Superintendent Fit. Scott Nursery Co., Fort
Scott, Kansas. l'-u
