He makes a point of attend ing personally to all orders with which he is entrusted, and the early and continued arrival of the favours of his patrons (for which he begs to tender his very best thanks) has positively precluded him from devoting the necessary attention to its compilation. As plant ing time is now advancing he purposes not now to issue it this season. The List of 1871, which will give a tolerable idea of the stock, will be forwarded on application. There are some items withdrawn from the stock, and many more added ; and the prices where they differ are more often in favour of purchaser than otherwise. All orders will receive the fullest and best attention. Town Agents—W. J. HURST & Co., Queen street. July 18,1872.
