The most neatly kept nursery of fruit and ornamental trees that we have ever seen in this country, by all odds, is that of Wm. Reid, of Elizabethtown, N. J. It occupies about thirty acres; and every portion of it appears to be as smoothly combed and brushed, as the most finished parts of other people's grounds. The broad alleys used as cart tracks, and for turning about the horse which cultivates the rows, are smoothly covered with a beautiful turf, kept closely shaven by mowing once a fortnight, and the edges are kept as smoothly trimmed as the walks of any ornamental garden. Even the open ditch, needed for the surface water, is kept sodded and shaven with mathematical accuracy. Where the rubbish was deposited - for rubbish must accumulate from every nursery, - we cannot say, for every remote corner of the grounds was preserved in the same neat appearance. The question may arise, where was his compost or manure heap - a most necessary, but rather repulsive appendage to every thriving nursery? Not thrust away in some remote and inconvenient place, as a thing not fit to be seen, but rendered an ornamental object by the rich masses of squash vines which hung down its sides, and the brilliant glow of petunias wich covered its whole upper surface !

Those who have purchased of Wm. Reid, know that he is very successful as a grower of fine trees; and the excellent stock now growing on his grounds, especially of dwarf and standard pear trees, shows that neatness and thrift are by no means strangers.
