Repairing a watch of the finest workmanship is 8 branch of our busi- ness that we give special attention to. Our repairing department is conducted with the utmost care and skill.

Mr.. saIfour's Blue Gum Tree.

A very rare and remarkable blue
gum tree fiourishes in MIR. Balfour's
garden at Whittingehame, England. II
was grown from seeds brought by the
Marquis OF Salisbury On his return
from Australia many years ago. This
tree, along with other kinds Of blue
gums, was reared and planted out at
Whittingehame, but it alone survived
the bitterly cold winter or spring Of
1861, although its top was damaged so
much that 1t had to be topped at a
height OF nine feet. After this II
threw out five arms or branches from
the shortened trunk, all of which still
remain. The girth of the stem at two
feet above the ground level, whence
the lowest branch springs is exactly
Is. feet. and the total height of the
tree is 70 feet to rs feet.
This tree from the antipodes has
withstood the climate of Scotland for
over half a century, and according 10

year. From its seeds many voupy
trees have been reared and distributed
