petus in this town the past winter and
spring, for nearly 1000 trees and shrubs

but an easy task, for while these trees are
conceded to be the best ever sent among
us, we are reliably assured that every
loss, other than the wanton neglect of the

they meet the expectations of the people,
large sales may be anticipated another
year.
