the law IN regard to the case, which
is very plain, and he very quickl,

one of the most reliable in the South
Their sales in Hardeman county this
season were enormous. At Bolivar,
they sold 81, 700 worth of trees, at
Toone 100000, at Grand Junction
$4,000 and at Salisbury S325.O0
The trees delivered at Bolivar were
personally inspected by representa-
tive of the BULLETIN. They are
whole root graft, full grown, healthy
and vigorous. Many trees from
the Garden City Nursery are now
bearing fruit in Hardeman county,
and all have given entire satisfac-
ton. We have yet to hear of a
complaint from any patron of this
Nursery. Col Wilkorgon will take
pleasure in replacing, free of charge,
any trees that die, or fail to come
up to recommendations, provided
they are properly cared for. Agents
of the Garden City Nursery will
again canvass Hardeman county in
the spring of 1897, and judging
from their past record, they will be
literally patronized. Col. Wilker-
son has made many friends during
his short stay in Bolivar, both for
himself and for his Nursery, an q he
will be warmly welcomed on his re-
turn.
Cold weather will soon be here.
